About Phinney Primary Care & Wellness

What is Phinney Primary Care & Wellness?

Phinney Primary Care & Wellness is an independently owned family primary care practice at 6804 Greenwood Ave North in Seattle, WA 98103. Its main work is primary care: prevention and wellness, chronic disease, mental health, immunization, sexual health, and pediatrics for newborns through age 18. Women's health is one service among these. Under it are gynecologic, menstrual and urinary concerns, contraception, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (bHRT), with Elizabeth Goldberg ARNP PhD offering bHRT counseling. OB care is excluded.

The prescribers are Elizabeth Goldberg ARNP PhD, Risa Cole, DNP ARNP NP-C PMHNP-BC, and Heike Nuhsbaum, MSN, ANP-BC. Heike Nuhsbaum brings over 20 years of experience as an adult nurse practitioner and will start seeing patients in October 2026. The doctors have practiced in the area for over 15 years. Visits run 30 or 60 minutes, by telemedicine or in person, and the office is open weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. It has a Google rating of 4.2 from 79 reviews. No weight loss program, peptide therapy or longevity service is named. Heike Nuhsbaum lists weight management among her clinical interests, but that is not a program.

In its own words: "We take our own call after hours. When you call at night you talk to us, not a nursing service."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no cash price for bHRT or any other visit, and no membership price. Because no cash price is given, nothing here says whether medication is included.

The practice accepts insurance. Listed plans include Premera, Regence, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Kaiser, and several Washington Marketplace silver and gold plans. It does not guarantee coverage on any listed plan, and it asks patients to confirm in-network status with their provider using the number on their card. Its Medicare panels are at capacity, and patient panels for Molina, UnitedHealthcare, Humana and Cigna are closed.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with whether the practice is accepting new patients for hormone therapy. It does not say, and its Medicare panels are closed. Ask which hormone medications are prescribed and whether they are brand-name or compounded. None are named.

Ask what a bHRT visit costs in cash, whether your plan covers it, and whether follow-up visits and lab work are billed separately. Ask who writes the prescription and how often you will need to be seen. Ask about cancellation too. The practice has a late cancellation, reschedule and no-show policy, so confirm any fee before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy counseling inside an ongoing primary care practice, your insurance is on the accepted list, and you are ready to confirm coverage and prescribing details before you book. It is less likely to fit if you are looking for a cash-pay weight loss, peptide or longevity program, since none is named here.
