What is Geneva Woods?
Geneva Woods is a women's health and family practice at 2400 E. 42nd Ave., Anchorage, AK 99508. The phone number is 907-561-2626. It is open Monday to Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Google lists it at 4.5 from 30 reviews. It grew out of a birth center that Barbara Norton founded and that Karin Braun co-founded in 2002. It no longer offers routine deliveries or prenatal visits, but it still offers some pregnancy services alongside care from another practice.
Its prescribers are Barbara Norton, Jordin Thompson, FNP-C, and Karin Braun. Barbara Norton is one of 4 current NAMS-certified Menopause Practitioners in Anchorage. It offers medical weight loss and hormone therapy, along with lactation support, primary care, mental health, sexual health and contraception, nutrition counseling, and physical therapy with pelvic floor care. It does not list peptide or longevity services. On hormones, it writes: In its own words: "As Nurse Practitioners, we can prescribe any hormone replacement regimen, whether oral or vaginal, that a client needs."
The weight loss program can include GLP-1 medications Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound, alongside diet and exercise. It does not prescribe GLP-1s to compounding pharmacies, and it does not prescribe them to anyone without the condition each drug is FDA-approved for. Weight loss clients must meet with its Registered Dietitian, and the program lists an age range of 16 to 64.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, consultation fees, or membership terms. It does not say whether GLP-1 medication is included in any price. Some postpartum visits can be billed to insurance, Tricare, or Medicaid. It does not say whether weight loss or hormone visits are billed to insurance. It does not say whether telehealth is offered.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which prescriber you would see, since Karin Braun's availability in Anchorage is limited. Ask whether any price includes the medication or whether you pay for it separately. Because the office does not prescribe GLP-1s to compounding pharmacies, ask which pharmacy would fill your prescription and what the medication costs there.
Ask whether you meet the FDA-approved criteria and the 16 to 64 age range. Ask what follow-up visits, dietitian sessions, blood labs and DEXA scans cost, since the weight loss page mentions all of them. Finally, ask whether you need a membership, how billing works, and how you cancel.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in Anchorage and want medical weight loss or menopause hormone care from nurse practitioners and midwives. Get the price, insurance and medication answers from the list above before you book. It is not a fit if you need routine deliveries, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.
