About Heart of the Valley Gynecology and Sexual Health

What is Heart of the Valley Gynecology and Sexual Health?

Heart of the Valley Gynecology and Sexual Health is a gynecology practice at 2211 NW Professional Drive, Suite 202, in Corvallis, Oregon. It is in the Kings Cross Building, on the corner of Kings Blvd and Walnut. The practice is new and focuses on gynecology and reproductive and sexual health. Hormone therapy is one part of that work, not all of it.

The prescribers named are Dr Susan Wegelt Heinz, DNP, and Melissa Hilson. Dr Heinz has been a Certified Nurse Midwife and Nurse Practitioner for 38 years. She opened Corvallis Birth & Wellness Center in 2016 before starting this practice. Melissa Hilson has been a Certified Nurse Midwife and Nurse Practitioner for 15 years.

The services include menopausal hormone therapy, perimenopause and menopause care, midlife health screening, and hormone therapy with transitional supportive care for transgender patients. Other services include annual exams, contraception with IUDs, hormonal contraception and the Nexplanon implant, STI testing, care for PMS and PMDD, and care for incontinence and pelvic floor concerns. No weight loss or peptide therapy is listed. It has a Google rating of 5 from 12 reviews.

In its own words: "Our gynecology services are respectful and allow for time to talk about concerns, ask questions, participate in your care."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a fee covers medication, or whether a consultation has a charge. It does not publish hours or say whether telehealth is offered. Before you book, ask for the consultation fee, the cost of a menopause visit that includes hormone therapy, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask for the answers in writing if you can.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription, Dr Susan Wegelt Heinz or Melissa Hilson, and whether the medication is included in any monthly or visit price. Ask whether the hormone therapy is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether hormone therapy is offered to men, since the services list names testosterone therapy for transmen and does not say. Ask what follow-up and lab work cost, whether telehealth is available, and what hours the office keeps. Finally, ask how to cancel or reschedule, and whether you pay per visit or on a plan.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want gynecology care from a practice focused on menopause, midlife health, contraception or transgender health, and you are willing to call and confirm the price before you book. It is worth a call if you are looking for weight loss or peptide therapy, since it does not list either.
