What is Medicatrix?
Medicatrix is a functional medicine practice at 328 S. First St., Albemarle, NC 28001, in Stanly County. Its pages also describe family medicine and preventive care. Dr. Amir Koohestani, DO, is the medical director and the only prescriber named. He is board certified in family medicine as well as Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is one of several services. The others include allergy drops, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, HeartMath, body composition analysis, osteopathic medicine, a detox and elimination diet, and a functional medicine consultation. Acupuncture is provided by Maryam Koohestani, a licensed acupuncturist, who is not a prescriber. Medicatrix says it prescribes hormones through a North Carolina compounding pharmacy, but it does not name the medications. It describes BHRT as an option for symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, andropause and thyroid disorder. It offers telemedicine but does not name the states it covers. Google lists it at 4.5 from 12 reviews.
The phone number is 704-550-5516. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, with a closure from 12:45 to 1:45 for lunch. Friday is open to Medicatrix Members only.
This listing is for its Albemarle office at 328 S 1st St.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. It gives no consultation fee, does not say whether any price includes hormone medication, and does not say whether it accepts insurance. It does describe membership, with Platinum and Gold levels where certain services carry no added fee, but it does not state what membership costs or how cancellation works. Ask for every figure in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the total. Ask whether the price includes hormone medication, and if it does not, what the medication costs. Ask whether the medication is compounded, what the compounding pharmacy charges, and whether a brand-name version exists for your prescription. Ask who writes and renews the prescription, and what a visit with Dr. Koohestani costs.
Then ask about the rest. Medicatrix usually tests hormone levels, so ask what those labs cost and how often they are repeated. Ask what follow-up visits cost and whether they can be done by video or phone, and in which states. Ask whether it takes insurance or an HSA. Finally, ask what membership costs, what the Platinum and Gold levels include, and how to cancel.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy inside a practice that also handles family care and functional medicine, and you are ready to get every cost in writing before you commit. In its own words: "BHRT is not for everyone." Ask what that means for you at a consultation before you agree to a plan.
