About Kittell Clinic

What is Kittell Clinic?

Kittell Clinic is a direct primary care practice at 11412 Huron Lane, Suite B, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Michael Kittell, M.D. is the one prescriber listed for the clinic. He completed his family medicine residency before opening the practice full time on April 8, 2019. The clinic is mainly a family practice. Its listed services cover acute care and chronic disease management, allergy evaluation, dermatology, school and sports physicals, sleep and stress support, preventive care, and FAA pilot certification. Weight management and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) are also on the list. In its own words: "Primary care done directly." Office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm, with the office closed Saturday and Sunday.

The weight management program is individualized and non-surgical, with monthly visits and a treatment plan chosen at the first visit. The hormone program covers pellet implants, and Dr. Kittell has received a recognition from SottoPelle for his work in BHRT. The clinic does not name any weight loss medication.

What does it cost?

Kittell Clinic does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or a fee for any service. There are no membership fees. It is a cash-pay clinic that does not file insurance, so you pay the clinic directly. You can get documents from the clinic to submit to your insurer if you want to seek out-of-network benefits. Many insurers offer some coverage for out-of-network providers. Health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts can be used to pay. The clinic does not say whether any weight loss medication is included in a program fee.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for a written fee schedule before you book, including the consultation fee, the price of each monthly weight management visit, and the cost of any hormone program. Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication. If a weight loss drug is part of the plan, ask its name, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and who supplies it. Ask Dr. Kittell whether he is the only clinician who writes prescriptions at the clinic. For hormone pellets, ask which hormones are used, how the dose is set, what the insertion costs, and how often pellets are replaced. Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost beyond the base fee. Established patients can reach the office by email, text, and phone, but video visits are not mentioned, so ask about them directly. Finally, ask how to cancel, how much notice is required, and whether any fees are refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led, cash-pay primary care practice and you are willing to get the full fee schedule in writing before you commit. It may not fit if you need weekend appointments, since the office is closed Saturday and Sunday, or if you need prices you can read online before calling. The office number is 501-539-9100.
