About Mill City Medical
Mill City Medical is a multi-provider primary care group in Lowell with four physicians and a deep bench of NPs and PAs, running dedicated women's health and men's health service lines that include hormone therapy, though the practice does not market HRT prominently. It accepts insurance, offers a Medicare-oriented Senior Care program, and premium Health Investment tiers. This is conventional primary care rather than a hormone specialty clinic, which suits patients who want hormone questions handled inside an insurance-based medical home.
