About Women’s Clinic of South Texas

What is Women's Clinic of South Texas?

Women's Clinic of South Texas is mainly an OB/GYN practice with offices in McAllen and Edinburg. The practice describes itself as improving women's health in the Valley for over 20 years. Its prescribers are Padraic Chisholm, FACOG, MD, Sandra Spano-Rodriguez, CNM, DNP, LNC, and Amanda Bahr, WHNP. Its providers hold hospital privileges at Doctors Hospital at Renaissance, Edinburg Regional Medical Center and McAllen Medical Center.

Bioidentical hormone pellets are one service among many. The others include annual checkups, prenatal care, family planning, infertility evaluation, urinary incontinence care and no scar hysterectomy. The clinic does not list weight loss, peptide or longevity services. Its pellet service uses Biosana pellets. The clinic describes the process as starting with a questionnaire and hormone lab levels, followed by a procedure visit where pellets are inserted below the skin under local anesthesia. The practice describes the procedure as typically repeated every 4 months. On Google, the clinic has a 4.2 rating from 313 reviews.

This listing is for its Edinburg office at 910 S Closner Blvd.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish a price for pellet therapy, and it lists no consultation fee. It does not say whether the medication is included in any price, or whether insurance covers pellet therapy. On payment, the practice states that it accepts most insurances and, for cash pay patients, offers reasonable prices and payment plans for procedures. It does not describe any membership plan, so ask what you will pay at each step before your first visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Hours differ between the two offices, so confirm which office you would use and when it is open. Ask which clinician places the pellets, since the clinic does not say, and who signs the prescription. Ask whether the pellet price includes the medication, and whether the Biosana pellets are a manufactured product or compounded. Ask what the hormone labs cost, what each follow-up visit costs, and how often you would need to return. Ask whether any part of the treatment is covered by your insurance, and what you would pay out of pocket if it is not. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, since the clinic does not say. Finally, ask what happens if you stop, and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone pellets from a practice that also handles routine gynecology, prenatal care and other women's health needs, and you are comfortable asking about cost before you book. It is not a fit if you are looking for weight loss, peptide or longevity care, since the clinic does not list those services.
