About Duke City Primary Care

What is Duke City Primary Care?

Duke City Primary Care is a primary care practice with offices in Albuquerque and in Cedar Crest, Edgewood, Moriarty, Los Lunas, Gallup and Ruidoso, New Mexico. Its main work is primary care, including physicals, acute care, chronic care management and pediatric care for children and adults. Men's health, women's health, allergy treatment, joint pain treatment and hormone therapy are listed alongside those.

Hormone therapy is one service among several. The practice describes it this way: "We provide hormone therapy for men and women, catered to your individual needs." Care starts with testing and screening before a treatment plan is set. Prescribers are nurse practitioners, physician assistants and physicians, among them Laura Cosimi, MD. Online and video visits are offered, and a virtual primary care team can see patients while they wait for an in-clinic appointment. You can call (505) 281-5180. Its Google rating is 4.5 from 914 reviews.

This listing is for its Albuquerque office at 11501 Montgomery Blvd NE.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, a price for hormone therapy, or whether a visit includes medication. It says "All Insurance Accepted." but does not say whether hormone therapy visits, testing or medication are covered by insurance. If your plan does not cover them, ask for the cash price in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will handle your hormone therapy and what credential that person holds. The team includes nurse practitioners, physician assistants and physicians, and the practice does not say who prescribes hormones.

Ask which hormones are prescribed, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the medication is part of the visit fee or billed separately. Ask what the testing and screening cost before treatment begins, and what follow-up lab work costs and how often it is needed. Ask whether hormone therapy is offered at every office or only some of them. Ask how to cancel or stop, and whether there is a membership or recurring fee. Hours are not listed, so ask for those when you call.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care practice that also offers hormone therapy, and you are willing to get the price, prescriber and medication details in writing before you pay. If you need posted prices or a named hormone prescriber, call first and decide from the answers.
