David M. Barrere, MD, F.A.C.O.G., is mainly an obstetrics and gynecology practice with offices in Clifton and Eastgate, Cincinnati, Ohio. Dr. Barrere is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and he is the only prescriber the practice names.

The hormone service is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using SottoPelle pellets.

Telehealth visits are available, and the practice shows a 4.91 rating from 65 reviews.

This listing is for its Cincinnati office at 4452 Eastgate Boulevard Suite 102.

How does the hormone program work?

Dr. Barrere places the pellets under the skin after an in-depth history and physical, a review of symptoms, and blood hormone testing. In its own words: "Dr. Barrere takes a patient-centered approach to care and conducts an in-depth history and physical to determine if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy." The practice says pellets are replaced when needed, with regular follow-up visits to check symptoms and hormone levels.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or any membership or package terms. Because no prices are posted, it also does not say whether medication is included in any price. It does say it works with insurance, and its network list includes Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare Oxford. The practice does not say whether pellet therapy is covered by insurance, and it does not mention HSA use, financing, or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the consultation is billed to your insurance, and what it costs in cash if it is not. Ask what the pellets cost, and whether that price includes the medication, the insertion, lab work, and follow-up visits. Ask whether the estrogen and testosterone pellets are manufactured products or compounded, and which pharmacy supplies them.

Ask how often pellets are replaced and what each replacement costs. Ask what blood hormone testing costs, and whether your plan covers it. Ask which states the telehealth visits serve, and whether follow-up can be done by video. Ask how to cancel, and whether there is a fee to stop treatment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a board-certified OB/GYN who also prescribes hormone pellets for menopause or low testosterone, and you are prepared to find out what your plan will and will not cover. It is not the right fit if you are looking for weight loss, peptide, or longevity care, which the practice does not offer.
