About Centre OBGYN

What is Centre OBGYN?

Centre OBGYN is an obstetrics and gynecology practice in Raleigh, North Carolina, at 4414 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 205, in the Medical Plaza at Rex building. It was formerly Rex ObGyn. Its providers are Ann Collins, MD FACOG, Arlene Pak, MD FACOG, Erika Clark, MD FACOG, Lauren Beasley, MD FACOG, Luisa Vera, MD FACOG and Tanneisha Barlow, MD FACOG, along with Katie Lyons, PA-C. All of its physicians are board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and its obstetricians deliver at UNC Rex Healthcare.

Its listed services are gynecology, obstetrics, in-office procedures, IUD and Nexplanon birth control, mammograms, bone density (DEXA) scans, robot-assisted surgery and clinical trials. Of the four services this directory covers, hormone therapy is the only one it touches. Weight loss, peptide and longevity care are not among its services. Its menopause article describes types of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen therapy and combined estrogen-progestin therapy, and delivery by tablet, patch, gel, cream or vaginal estrogen. In its own words: "If you are experiencing symptoms of menopause or perimenopause and are interested in learning more about hormone replacement therapy, please contact Centre OB/GYN in Raleigh, NC." It does not say outright that it prescribes HRT, and no hormone prescriber is named.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, procedures or HRT, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It accepts a wide range of insurance plans, so ask whether your visit, labs and any prescription would be billed to your plan and what you would owe after it pays. Medication costs are not published either, so ask what a prescription would cost and whether it is included in any quoted price. Mammograms and bone density scans are listed as services, but no cost is given for them.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the office prescribes HRT at all, since it does not say so outright, and which provider would handle a menopause visit. Ask whether the physician or Katie Lyons, PA-C would see you. If HRT is prescribed, ask which forms it uses and whether the prescription is brand-name or compounded.

Ask what the first visit, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how billing works once insurance has paid. Ask whether telehealth visits are available, because the office does not describe them. Same-day appointments are often available, and the office asks patients to call to check. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and Friday, 8:00am to 12:30pm, at (919) 788-4444.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want OB/GYN care in Raleigh, your insurance is one the practice accepts, and you are comfortable asking directly whether it prescribes HRT before you book. It is not the right call if you are looking for weight loss, peptide or longevity care, because those are not among its services.
