About Lubbock Family Medicine

What is Lubbock Family Medicine?

Lubbock Family Medicine is a family practice at 7008 Indiana Ave, Ste. A, Lubbock, TX 79413, and it has been independently operated since 1999. Its two family physicians are Dr. Michael P. Mendez, M.D. and Dr. Tyson Purdy, M.D. Its main work is primary care for every age, including physicals, chronic conditions, urgent care and walk-ins, and house calls in private homes and care facilities. Weight loss and hormone therapy sit alongside women's health, allergy services, sexual wellness, nutrition and cosmetic treatments.

The weight loss program is called Skinny Genes. It combines semaglutide injections with regular meetings with a registered dietitian, Katy Poff, and weekly weigh-ins with a nurse. The hormone service is BioTE hormone pellet therapy for women and men, which the practice describes as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Telemedicine is available. It does not offer peptide or longevity services. Google lists it at 3.7 from 241 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy, and it does not publish a consultation fee. For Skinny Genes, it says: "You will pay a flat fee and receive weekly semaglutide injections." The monthly dietitian meeting is included in that fee. It does not say whether the semaglutide is part of the fee. It does not publish cancellation terms. On insurance, it only says to call ahead with questions, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the semaglutide prescription. The practice says it is prescribed only after a consultation with a provider, but it does not name which provider, and it does not say whether the dietitian has any role in prescribing. Ask whether the flat fee covers the semaglutide itself, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, since it names semaglutide without saying which product it uses.

Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost, because none of those are published. For the hormone pellets, ask what the therapy costs, what the placement visit costs, and who manages the treatment once it starts. Ask whether it accepts your insurance and what you would pay if it does not. Finally, ask how to cancel after you start, and whether you can stop or pause month to month.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want a Lubbock family doctor who also runs a weight loss program and hormone pellet therapy, and you are ready to ask about the total cost before you book. If you need prices in writing before you commit, use the questions above on your first call, and treat the answers as the deciding factor.
