About Blossom GYN

What is Blossom GYN?

Blossom GYN is a gynecology practice at 420 The Parkway, Suite C, Greer, SC 29650. Its main work is gynecologic care for women of all ages, including yearly well-woman visits, abnormal pap follow-up, contraception, infertility evaluation and menopause care. Marjorie A. Chorness is the gynecologist the practice names as its prescriber. She began practice in the Upstate in 1994 and has stayed in private practice since.

Hormone therapy is one service among several, not the whole practice. The practice lists bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and hormone pellets, along with management of perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms and hormonal imbalances. It describes its medical staff this way: In its own words: "Our medical staff offers complete care from pre-conception counseling, to confirmation of pregnancy, to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy."

Weight management is handled through a registered dietitian, Adele Freeman, who provides counseling. The practice does not name a physician-supervised weight loss program or any weight-loss medication. It also performs some procedures in the office, including endometrial ablation for heavy bleeding.

The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the phone number is (864) 662-5000. It names Greenville, Greer and Spartanburg as the places it serves. Google shows a 4.5 rating from 16 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, pellets or any other service, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does say it accepts major insurance carriers, naming Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Choice, United Health Care, Cigna and Aetna. If your plan is not on that list, it asks you to contact your member benefits office to check whether Dr. Chorness is a provider. It does not describe cash-pay pricing, membership plans, financing or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the visit and hormone therapy will be billed to insurance or paid in cash, and what each costs if your plan does not cover hormone treatment. Ask for the total cost of the consultation, the hormone therapy and the follow-up lab work, and whether any quoted price includes the medication. Ask which hormone medications the practice uses and whether they are brand-name or compounded, since the practice does not name them.

Ask whether pellets are priced separately from other hormone therapy, and who orders and reviews your labs. Ask how often follow-up visits happen and whether telehealth visits are available, because the practice does not say. If weight loss is your goal, ask whether a physician supervises the program and which medication it uses. Finally, ask how to cancel or pause care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a gynecologist for ongoing women's health care and hormone management, and you can confirm your insurance coverage or the price before your first visit. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for a published cash-pay weight-loss or hormone program, because the practice does not show one.
