About Gill Family Medicine

What is Gill Family Medicine?

Gill Family Medicine is a primary care practice at 2422 Danville Rd SW, Suite E, in Decatur, Alabama. The phone number is 256-355-9040. It has provided primary care to Decatur and the surrounding area for 25 years and is rated 4.4 on Google from 214 reviews. Primary care is what the practice mainly does. Weight loss and hormone replacement are two of its services, alongside imaging, heart testing, women's health, dermatology and colonoscopies.

The weight loss service is called Rapid Medical Weight Loss and runs out of the same office. It starts with a medical evaluation and lab tests, then covers eating, reading food labels and choosing a meal planner. In its own words: "Our program is designed and administered by Healthcare Professionals." The hormone service is listed as Hormone Replacements, for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The service list does not include peptide therapy or longevity medicine. The prescribers named are Dr. Gill, Dr. McQueen and Dr. Matthews, Ellie Adams, PA-C, and Alan Heidt, CRNP. Office hours are Monday and Wednesday 7:30 to 4:30, Tuesday and Thursday 8:00 to 4:30, and Friday 7:30 to 3:30.

What does it cost?

Gill Family Medicine does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy. It also does not say whether a consultation fee applies, whether medication is included in any price, whether insurance is accepted, or whether it offers memberships, financing or cancellation terms. Telehealth is not described either. Call 256-355-9040 and ask about each of these before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Who will prescribe and manage your weight loss care? The clinic does not name the prescriber for its weight loss program. Which medications are used, and are they brand-name or compounded? Does the monthly fee cover the medication, or is it billed separately? What do the first evaluation and lab tests cost, and what do follow-up visits and repeat labs cost? For hormone therapy, which tests come first, who prescribes the hormones, and are the bioidentical products brand-name or compounded? If you pay cash, how do you cancel or pause, and does the office take insurance for any part of the visit?

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss or hormone care in the same office as your regular primary care, and you are willing to ask about cost and prescribing before you book. It is less suited to someone who needs a published price and a written cancellation policy before making the call.
