About Gateway Medical Group

What is Gateway Medical Group?

Gateway Medical Group is a multi-specialty healthcare provider group in the Metro East area of southwestern Illinois. Its family medicine offices are in Troy, Edwardsville, Collinsville and Glen Carbon, and its Google listing categorizes it as a family practice physician. In its own words: "We provide preventive health care and general medical treatment for patients of all ages."

The group also lists endocrinology, gastroenterology and hepatology, general surgery, internal medicine, otolaryngology, podiatry and pulmonary care. Several of these have offices in Granite City and Glen Carbon. The family medicine prescribers named are Bhavesh Patel, MD, Macy Thilker, FNP-C, and Laura Wilson, FNP. Its Google listing shows a 3.1 rating from 40 reviews.

Of the four services this directory covers, the group lists one: hormone replacement for men and women, which it places under endocrinology. The endocrinology listing names offices in Glen Carbon and Granite City. The Troy office is listed only under family medicine, so hormone care there is not confirmed. The group does not name the clinician who prescribes hormones. It lists no medical weight loss program, GLP-1 medication, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

This listing is for its Troy office at 619 Edwardsville Rd.

What does it cost?

The group does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a membership rate. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether a fee would include the hormone medication. It lists TeleHealth Medicine among its family medicine services but gives no price for it.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the hormone prescription, and whether that person is a physician or a nurse practitioner. Ask whether hormone replacement is offered at the Troy office or only at the Glen Carbon and Granite City endocrinology offices. Ask what the first visit costs cash pay, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether the hormone medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether any fee includes it. Ask whether hormone visits can be done by TeleHealth, whether there is a recurring charge, and how you cancel. Ask for the office hours of the location you would use, since none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone replacement through a general medical group with several specialties under one name, and you are willing to confirm the Troy location, the prescriber and the price before you call. If you are looking for medical weight loss, peptide therapy or longevity medicine, the group does not list those services, so this is probably not the listing you want.
