About Granite State Natural Medicine LLC

What is Granite State Natural Medicine LLC?

Granite State Natural Medicine LLC is a naturopathic family practice at 20 Depot St. #220, Suite 3, in Peterborough, NH 03458. The phone number is (603) 924-8111. Dr. Ruth Galbraith is a licensed naturopathic doctor in New Hampshire, and she is the only doctor the practice names. The practice sees men, women and children for acute and chronic complaints, wellness exams, gynecological exams and PAP smears, and birth control. Its other services include routine blood testing, allergy testing, and bowel cleansing and detoxification.

Bio-identical hormones are one of its listed services. In its own words: "Bio-identical hormones are compounded on an individual basis, so the dose a patient gets has been prescribed just for her, based on her unique set of symptoms and the level of hormones found to be in her body through prior testing." Its listed special interests include hormone replacement therapy, menopause and gastrointestinal disorders. It does not list weight loss or peptide therapy among its services. It has one Google review, and that review gives the practice five stars.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. In its own words: "Payment for services is expected at the time of your visit." Dr. Galbraith is a networked specialist provider for Cigna, but not all Cigna plans cover her, and not all plans cover naturopathic medicine. For other plans, she provides a receipt and a detailed superbill that you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan allows it. Health Savings Accounts should also cover her services and prescribed supplements, but you should confirm this first.

A first visit runs about 90 minutes, and follow-ups run about 30. The office keeps a credit card on file for the first visit. If you cancel with less than two business days' notice, the full cash price of the appointment is charged. It does not say whether hormone therapy or lab tests are included in the price.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the price includes hormone therapy and lab tests, since the practice does not say. Ask what follow-up lab work costs, because follow-up visits often cover results of lab work that was ordered. Ask who compounds the hormones and how they are prepared.

Ask whether your plan covers naturopathic care and whether your Cigna plan is one that covers Dr. Galbraith. Insurers will not count her as a primary care physician, so ask what that means for your benefits. Ask about office hours and whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since neither is stated. Get the cancellation terms in writing before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic family practice in Peterborough for routine care, women's exams and hormone therapy with one doctor, and you are ready to pay at the visit or confirm your plan first. It does not list weight loss or peptide therapy, so readers looking for those should ask before booking.
