About True Gynecology

What is True Gynecology?

True Gynecology is a gynecology practice in Troy, Michigan, at 38815 Dequindre Rd # 101. It is run by Dr. Steven Dean, M.D., and Dr. Joshua Dean, M.D., a father and son, and gynecologic care is the main business here, not a weight loss or hormone clinic with a medical veneer. Alongside standard gynecologic care such as exams, birth control and treatment for endometriosis and pelvic pain, the practice offers bio-identical hormone replacement, including hormone pellets, and describes this as an area of focus for Dr. Dean. It also offers aesthetics (Botox, fillers, facial peels) and some less common testing: telomere testing, micronutrient testing and lipoprotein testing. Dr. Joshua Dean also provides obstetrical care and is affiliated with Troy Beaumont (Corewell) hospital. Dr. Steven Dean is certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for any service, including hormone replacement, pellet therapy, aesthetics or the specialty blood testing. It does list insurance providers it accepts, without naming which plans or what they cover. If you are considering this practice, ask directly what a consultation costs, what hormone testing and pellet insertion cost out of pocket, and whether any of it is billable to insurance versus cash pay only.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which doctor you will actually see and whether that doctor is the one writing your prescription, since both Dr. Steven Dean and Dr. Joshua Dean see patients. Ask whether the bio-identical hormones used are compounded or FDA-approved bio-identical products, and what form (pellet, cream, patch) is recommended for your situation and why. Ask what the pellet procedure costs, how often it needs repeating, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost beyond the initial consult. Since no telehealth option is mentioned, ask whether visits are in person only. If you are weighing the anti-aging testing (telomere, micronutrient, lipoprotein), ask what each test costs and what specifically it will change about your treatment plan.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want gynecologic care from physicians who also offer bio-identical hormone replacement and some longevity-adjacent testing under one roof, rather than a hormone-only or weight-loss-only storefront. It's less of a fit if you are looking for a clinic that publishes its pricing up front or offers telehealth, since neither is stated here.
