About Standard Medical Clinic

What is Standard Medical Clinic?

Standard Medical Clinic is a family and internal medicine practice with four offices in the Golden Triangle area: Nederland, Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange. It has been in practice for over 20 years. Its services include wellness physicals, annual exams, immunizations, EKGs, laboratory services, diagnostic ultrasounds, DOT physicals, well woman exams, and nursing home, long-term acute care and geriatric visits. BioTE hormone pellet therapy is one service among these, so hormone therapy is part of a general practice rather than the whole business.

Oscar O. Enriquez, MD, is the president and owns the practice. Kristopher Dela Cruz, MD, is a board-certified internist. Four nurse practitioners also see patients: Tung "Tom" Van Hoang, FNP, Cynthia F Arceneaux, FNP, Stephanie Cloud, APRN, FNP-C, and John Carlo Pang, APRN, FNP-C. The pellets are custom-compounded and contain what the clinic calls bio-identical hormones. It says they are made in pharmacies registered with the FDA. Google lists the practice at 3.6 from 13 reviews, under the category family practice physician.

In its own words: "Same-day appointments are available and walk-ins are welcome."

This listing is for its Port Arthur office at 8333 9th Ave.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for pellet therapy or for visits, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether pellet medication or visits are included in any price, because no price is given. It does not describe membership or cancellation terms.

It accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare, most Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, AETNA and Cigna. It also lists cash and personal check as ways to pay. Telemedicine consults are available, and you schedule one by calling the office.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will provide the BioTE pellet therapy, since the clinic does not say, and whether you will see that same person at your first visit. Ask for the total cost of a course, and whether it covers the pellets, the visits, follow-up and lab work. Ask which hormones go into the pellets, what dose you would start on, and how that is decided.

Ask what the lab work costs and how often it is repeated. Ask what the cancellation policy is for a booked visit, and whether any part of the cost is refundable. Get the answers in writing before you pay.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone pellet therapy from a practice that also looks after your general medical care, and you are willing to get the full pricing before you commit. It is worth calling if the total cost fits your budget once you know it. If you are looking for weight loss, peptide or longevity medicine, it does not list those services.
