About Bay Area Endocrinology Associates

What is Bay Area Endocrinology Associates?

Bay Area Endocrinology Associates is an endocrinology practice, so most of its work is hormone and gland care, and most of that is thyroid care. It has offices in Zephyrhills, Tampa and Wesley Chapel, and it says it serves all of Tampa Bay. This listing covers the Zephyrhills office. The two prescribers named are Dr. Pedro Troya, MD, and Dr. Sean Amirzadeh, DO. Its thyroid services include function testing, thyroid cancer screening, hormone replacement, surgery and radiation therapy, along with continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapy.

The two services that fit this directory are a medical weight loss program and corrective hormone therapy for low testosterone. The practice describes both in one sentence: "We have a medical weight loss program for obesity, and we also do corrective hormone therapy for Low T, or low testosterone levels in men." It does not name which doctor runs either program, and it names no weight loss medications. Google lists the practice at 3.1 from 10 reviews.

This listing is for its Zephyrhills office at 38022 Medical Center Ave.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy, and it lists no consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee. Its statement that it accepts most major insurance plans and offers financing sits in the thyroid treatment section, so it is unclear whether either applies to the weight loss or testosterone programs. Get the numbers in writing before you book, since none are published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for the weight loss program and for testosterone treatment. Ask whether that doctor works at the Zephyrhills office, since the practice does not say which prescribers work there. Ask whether the program fee includes medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask which weight loss medications are used, since none are named, and what visits, follow-up and lab work cost on top of that.

Ask whether any part can be done by video, and how cancellation works, including whether there is a contract or membership. Ask whether the insurance and financing options apply to these two programs. The main number is 813.876.3636.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want endocrinology care that already includes thyroid work, and you are comfortable asking the prescribing and pricing questions before you pay. It is a harder fit if you were hoping for a weight loss or testosterone program with published prices and named medications, since the practice publishes neither.
