About Elle OBGYN

What is Elle OBGYN?

Elle OBGYN is an obstetrics and gynecology practice at 800 Pelham Road, Suite 200, in Greenville, South Carolina. It has one office, open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and Friday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, and it is closed on weekends. The practice says it has been treating women's health concerns since 2002, from annual wellness exams through pregnancy and birth. Under the direction of Laura LeBel, MD, the practice lists two nurse practitioners who treat menopause, Christianna Decker, FNP and Taylor Clark, FNP.

Menopause care is one of its services, alongside contraception, fibroids, ovarian cysts, STD testing and in-office procedures. In its own words: "specialize in treating your menopause symptoms through natural hormone therapies." The practice says its providers compound natural hormones and may give them orally, as a topical solution, or through a medicated patch. The practice also runs an aesthetic side called Elle Medical Spa, with laser and skin treatments. Votiva, a radiofrequency treatment, is described for vaginal dryness and urinary incontinence and is offered as an in-office procedure.

What does it cost?

Elle OBGYN does not publish prices for hormone therapy, consultations or follow-up visits. It also does not say whether the medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or what its membership or cancellation terms are. To ask about cost, call 864-609-4009, the number the practice gives for scheduling a menopause consultation. The main line is 864-465-4801.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will sign your prescription. The practice names Dr. LeBel and two nurse practitioners for menopause care, so ask which of them you would see and whether that person writes the prescription.

Ask what "compounded" means for the product you would receive. The practice says its providers compound natural hormones, so ask which pharmacy makes them and whether a manufactured, FDA-approved product is an option for you.

Ask what the consultation costs, and whether follow-up visits and lab work are billed separately. The practice does not say whether menopause visits are billed separately from gynecology visits, so ask that directly too.

Ask whether the practice accepts your insurance and whether it offers telehealth visits. Neither is addressed on its website. Finally, ask how cancellation and rescheduling work before you pay anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person menopause care from a gynecology practice in Greenville, and you are comfortable asking how the hormones are made before you agree to anything. If you need published prices or telehealth visits, call first, because neither is listed.
