About Crabtree Health

What is Crabtree Health?

Crabtree Health is a physician-led practice at 2000 Bearcat Way, Suite 103, in Morrisville, North Carolina. It describes itself this way: "We are a physician-led medical practice." Its main work is medical weight loss and women's hormone care. It sees men for weight loss, and its hormone services are for women only. Dr. Fatima Iqbal, MD, is the only prescriber named. Her listing describes her as board-certified in internal medicine with obesity medicine expertise. Google shows the practice at 4.9 from 63 reviews.

The weight loss program includes GLP-1 medications from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, which it describes as FDA-approved. Eligible new patients may receive a starter sample at no cost, subject to supply. No specific GLP-1 drug is named. Other services include Stelo continuous glucose monitoring, health coaching with Hilal Dogru, CFMHC, and Saturday movement sessions with Tala Hamadeesa. Hormone care covers perimenopause, menopause, bioidentical HRT when appropriate, PCOS, thyroid care and DUTCH hormone testing. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

This listing is for its Morrisville office at 2000 Bear Cat Way Ste 103.

What does it cost?

The membership is $129 a month, offered for people with high deductibles or who want predictable pricing. It does not say whether medication is included. Visits can also be billed to insurance, and the practice names Aetna, UHC, Cigna, Humana, Medicare and BCBS among the plans it accepts.

The first consultation has two listed prices. Its services section shows it as billed to insurance or $149 cash pay. Its insurance comparison shows $199 one-time for membership patients. It does not say which applies to you, so ask. Health coaching is $149 a month, or $119 for members. CGM monitoring is $99 a month plus tax, with the first month's setup free. Saturday drop-in sessions are $65, and a four-session monthly package is $199. The DUTCH hormone test is $449. It does not publish cancellation terms for the membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $129 membership covers the GLP-1 medication, and if not, what the medication costs on top. Ask which GLP-1 drug would be prescribed and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether Dr. Iqbal signs every prescription, since she is the only prescriber named. If you pay cash, ask what lab work costs, because labs are billed through insurance where possible. Ask how the membership is cancelled and whether it has a minimum term. Ask which states telehealth covers. Ask whether any physician visits happen on weekends, since office hours are listed as Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Saturdays are for movement sessions. Finally, ask which consultation price applies to you.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician visit billed to insurance or a flat monthly membership, you are looking for weight loss or women's hormone care, and you can get to Morrisville or do most visits by video. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for peptide therapy, longevity medicine or weekend physician appointments.
