Austin Thyroid and Endocrinology

About Austin Thyroid and Endocrinology

What is Austin Thyroid and Endocrinology?

Austin Thyroid and Endocrinology is an endocrinology practice at 2200 Park Bend Drive, Building 3, Suite 300, Austin, TX 78758. The phone number is 512-467-2727. Dr. Simona Scumpia, FACE FRCP FNLA, started the practice in 2002 and runs it. Alexis Holder PA-C also prescribes there.

Its main work is diagnosing and treating glandular disorders, thyroid conditions and hormone problems. It serves patients from across the Texas Capital region, including Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Killeen and San Marcos.

Weight management is one of its services, and it centers on GLP-1 medications: Wegovy, Ozempic and Zepbound. In its own words: "Our clinic offers a fully integrated GLP-1 program under the medical supervision of Dr. Scumpia." Its weight services also include VO2 max testing, a DEXA body composition scan, basal metabolic rate testing, an in-house registered dietitian, and a supervised Ideal Protein diet as one option. Its hormone services include low testosterone, bio-identical hormones, and anti-aging and biological age work. It does not name a specific hormone replacement treatment, and it does not list peptide therapy as a treatment of its own.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or any membership or financing terms. It does not say whether any price includes the medication, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. On coverage, the practice's own words are: "Your insurance decides if it’s covered. You will have to pay out of pocket if your insurance doesn’t cover a GLP-1." That means a GLP-1 prescription may be a cash cost for you, and no figure for it is published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and who manages it between visits, since Dr. Scumpia and Alexis Holder PA-C are the prescribers named. Ask whether a program price includes the medication or whether the drug is billed separately, and whether the medication is the brand-name product or a compounded version. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work, and the VO2 max, DEXA and BMR tests cost, and whether the practice accepts your insurance at all.

Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since that is not stated. Ask for its hours, which are not listed, and ask for the consultation fee and the cancellation and refund terms before you pay anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want endocrine care from a practice started in 2002 and you expect to pay cash for a GLP-1 medication or a hormone evaluation. If you need a price in writing before you call, ask the questions above first, since none is published.
