What is Endocrinology Associates?
Endocrinology Associates is a private endocrinology practice at 72 W 3rd Ave, 2nd floor, Columbus, OH 43201. The phone number is (614) 453-9999. Dr. Elena A. Christofides, M.D., F.A.C.E., is the only prescriber named. She holds dual board certification in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism and in Internal Medicine, and she is a Fellow of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
Most of the practice is general endocrine care, including thyroid and hormone care, diabetes management and lipid management. Of the four services this directory covers, it offers weight loss through an Obesity Management program, hormone therapy through bioidentical hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy, and peptide therapy with BPC 157, NAD and sermorelin. Its peptide listings name BPC-157, NAD, sermorelin and tesamorelin. It also offers ketamine therapy and telemedicine visits. In its own words, the practice takes "a science-based, individualized approach to peptide and hormone therapies." It is open Monday to Wednesday from 8:45 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and it is closed Thursday and on weekends.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. A link labeled Peptide Therapy Pricing appears in the menu, but no figures are shown under it, so ask for the numbers before you go in. No consultation fee is stated. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, whether insurance is accepted, or whether HSA funds or financing can be used. Membership terms and cancellation rules are not given either.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and signs each prescription, and whether Dr. Christofides reviews every peptide and hormone plan herself. Ask whether the monthly or visit price includes the medication. For BPC-157, NAD and sermorelin, ask whether the product is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. It names no weight-loss medication, so ask which drugs the Obesity Management program uses and whether they cost extra.
Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and growth hormone screening cost, since the screening involves blood draws. Ask whether a telemedicine visit costs the same as an office visit, whether they bill insurance or accept HSA payments, and how cancellation and refunds work.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want endocrine care from a named physician, you are comfortable paying cash for visits and medication, and either an office visit in Columbus or a video visit suits your schedule. If you need a price in writing before you call, start with the phone line, because the practice does not publish one.
