About Bhat Internal Medicine

What is Bhat Internal Medicine?

Bhat Internal Medicine is a primary care practice for adults at 1619 N Swan Rd in Tucson, Arizona 85712. Its main work is primary care: annual physicals, chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, thyroid care, and Medicare Annual Wellness Visits. It is part of Arizona Community Physicians and sees patients 18 and older. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Saturday and Sunday. The phone number is (520) 290-9151.

Two prescribers are named. Muralikrishna Bhat, MD, is a board-certified internist with over 25 years of experience caring for adult patients. Ellen Pearson, FNP-C, is a board-certified family nurse practitioner.

Weight management, hormone replacement therapy, and testosterone replacement therapy are all offered. Ellen Pearson, FNP-C, handles hormone replacement evaluations and ongoing care for menopausal symptoms. The practice says prescription weight-loss medications may be appropriate for some patients, alongside changes to nutrition, activity, and behavior, but it does not name the medications. Healthy Aging appears among its preventive services, but peptide therapy is not listed. In its own words: "We take time to listen, explain your medical conditions, answer your questions, and develop treatment plans that reflect your individual needs and goals."

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish prices, consultation fees, or membership terms. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. It also has no published pricing for hormone or testosterone therapy. Ask for the cost of a first visit, the cost of each medication, and the cost of follow-up before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for weight-loss medication and for testosterone therapy, since the practice does not name a prescriber for either. Ask which weight-loss medications it uses, and whether they are brand-name or compounded.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost. Both the hormone and testosterone services describe regular monitoring, so these costs will recur. Ask whether insurance is accepted and whether telehealth visits are offered, because neither is stated. If any program carries a recurring fee, ask what it covers and how to cancel.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care physician or nurse practitioner who also handles weight management, hormone therapy, or testosterone therapy in one Tucson office, and you are willing to call for prices before booking. It is less suited to someone who needs a published price list or a telehealth visit before deciding.
