What is Family Doctors Center?
Family Doctors Center is a family medicine practice that has provided care to the communities of Opelousas and Krotz Springs, Louisiana, for over 17 years. It sees patients from infancy through adulthood. It has an office in Opelousas and one in Krotz Springs, where the practice is listed as Greene Family Medicine. Craig H. Greene, M.D., MD, is a family practitioner at both offices. Lee D. Ellender, M.D., MD, practices in Opelousas, and Elizabeth "Liz" Martin, NP-C, is a family nurse practitioner at the Krotz Springs office.
Its services are family medicine, weight loss, chronic disease management, annual physical exams, medical marijuana, substance management and laboratory testing. The weight-loss program is called HealthWise™. Dr. Greene also prescribes Adipex for patients who choose not to follow that program. In its own words: "With Adipex, you see Dr. Greene monthly and are weighed & measured at each visit." Substance management uses Suboxone® and Sublocade™, and Dr. Greene provides it in Opelousas. It has a Google rating of 3.9 from 14 reviews.
This listing is for its Opelousas office at 2967 S Union St.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether medication is included in any program, or whether Adipex visits or the HealthWise™ program cost extra. It does not say whether telehealth is offered either.
Because none of this is published, call before you book and ask for the consultation fee, the cost of each monthly visit, and the total cost of the program you have in mind. Ask about lab work too, since laboratory testing is offered but no price is given for it.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for each service. The pages tie Adipex, Suboxone®, Sublocade™ and medical marijuana visits to Dr. Greene, so confirm that when you call, and ask whether Dr. Ellender or Liz Martin ever handle those visits.
Ask whether the program fee covers the medication, and whether the monthly Adipex visits are billed separately. For substance management, ask what the visits, medication and lab work each cost, and how often you would need to come in. Ask whether the office accepts your insurance, and how you cancel a program and whether a fee applies. The numbers are (337) 594-8958 for Opelousas and (337) 566-2762 for Krotz Springs.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a family doctor in Opelousas or Krotz Springs who also offers weight-loss, substance management or medical marijuana visits, and you are willing to call and confirm the price before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price list before you pick up the phone.
