About Bristlecone Medical Group

What is Bristlecone Medical Group?

Bristlecone Medical Group is a medical group at 9325 Upland Lane North, Suite 225, in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The phone number is 763-913-4600. Dr. Gibas founded the practice in 2004. The prescribers are Michelle Lindman-Miller MD, Beth Lund PA-C, Madeline Lieberson PA-C and Michaela Fletcher FNP. The group describes its approach as personalized medicine that favors prevention, and it lists primary care among its services.

The practice runs five named programs. Legacy Care is 12 months of full service, bio-individualized care that includes polygenic risk score analysis for four diseases of aging: cardiovascular disease, diabesity, neurodegeneration and cancer. Ala Carte services are pay-as-you-go care for weight-loss, hormone replacement therapy, cryolipolysis and more. The other three programs are Heritage Care, All Inclusive Care and Primary Care, which the group does not describe in detail. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 8 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, program fee or membership fee listed. It also does not say whether medication is included in any program, whether it accepts insurance, whether it takes HSA funds or offers financing, or whether telehealth visits are available.

Legacy has its own intake rule. In its own words: "Legacy is offered by referral or invitation only & maintains a waiting list accordingly (exceptions may apply)." Call 763-913-4600 to ask for current pricing and whether a referral is needed for the program you have in mind.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who would sign your prescription and how often you would see that person. Ask whether the monthly or program fee includes medication. Ask whether each weight-loss or hormone medication is brand-name or compounded, and which ones they use. The Legacy description mentions weight-loss peptides but does not name them, so ask for the names.

Ask what labs, genetic testing and follow-up visits cost on top of any program fee. For Legacy, ask how long the waiting list runs and what the referral involves. Ask whether Legacy is billed monthly or up front over its 12 months, and how cancellation works for any program. Ask whether video visits are available and what the office hours are, since none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay medical group where genetic risk analysis is part of the plan and you are willing to pursue a Legacy referral. If you need a published price list or insurance billing, this group does not provide either yet.
