What is Gammons Medical?
Gammons Medical is a primary care practice with four locations in Michigan, in Royal Oak, Warren, Waterford and Ypsilanti. Dr. Timothy Gammons founded it in 2003, and it has grown from there, with addiction medicine as his particular focus for the past twenty years. Alongside primary care and addiction treatment, the practice offers a men's health service built around testosterone, which Dr. Gammons has been prescribing for over ten years when he judges it medically appropriate. The listed prescribers are Dr. Timothy Gammons, Dr. Kristopher Patnugot, DO, and Dr. Tristan Blanchette, supported by several nurse practitioners across the four offices. The practice describes itself as taking patients 24 hours a day and says it accepts major insurance plans, which puts it closer to a family medicine office with a testosterone program than a dedicated hormone or longevity clinic.
What does it cost?
No price is published for testosterone therapy, the office visit, or a consultation. What is stated is how payment works day to day: copayments are collected at check-in based on your insurance contract, and accepted payment methods are credit card, debit card, cash, or personal check. Office visits and counseling appointments need to be cancelled at least 24 hours ahead or a no-show fee applies. Since this practice bills through insurance rather than running a cash membership model, the real cost question is less about a program price and more about what your plan covers and what you would owe for testosterone specifically.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which of the three physicians, Dr. Gammons, Dr. Patnugot, or Dr. Blanchette, would actually see you for a testosterone evaluation, since a nurse practitioner may handle your visit instead. Ask whether your insurance covers testosterone therapy and associated labs, and what you would pay out of pocket if it does not. Ask whether the testosterone prescribed is a brand-name product or a compounded version, and where you would fill it. Ask what a follow-up visit costs once you are established on a prescription, and whether refills require an in-person visit every time, since the practice notes that controlled substances are not called in. If you are not near one of the four Michigan locations, ask whether telehealth is an option, since that is not addressed on its pages.
In its own words: "Refills are typically provided at the time of office visit. Controlled substances are provided exclusively at the time of office visit they will not be 'called in.'"
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a Michigan primary care office that also handles testosterone therapy and prefers to bill through insurance like a regular medical visit, rather than a specialty clinic running a monthly cash program. It is less of a fit if you are looking for a dedicated hormone or longevity practice with published self-pay pricing and a telehealth-first setup.
