Question 1

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

The first step is simple: reach out. Most people start with a conversation, not a commitment—you decide where to go from there. Call our office to discuss what you’re hoping to address and what you are interested in—no referral needed. We’ll follow up to answer your questions and talk through options. To request an in-person consultation, please call our office to schedule. From there, we will book your first appointment and send the necessary paperwork (such as medical history, intake forms, consents, and health assessments) to be completed before your scheduled visit.

Question 2

Do you take insurance? Why is care cash-pay?

Accepted Answer

We don’t bill insurance for our clinical services—and that’s on purpose. It’s what lets your provider spend real, unrushed time with you and build care around your labs and your goals instead of an insurance company’s rules. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for most services, and DOT and pre-employment physicals are flat-rate.

Question 3

How much does a first visit cost?

Accepted Answer

Some prices are listed on the site. Non-member sick visits and all physicals are a flat rate listed on the site. For protocol-based care like hormones or weight loss, or IV infusions, the cost depends on your plan. Your provider will walk through the pricing with you during the consultation before anything is ordered. Either way, there are no surprises—and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.

Question 4

What will my first visit be like?

Accepted Answer

Your provider listens to your story, reviews your history (from forms received prior to your appointment), and talks through options built around you. All needed labs are drawn at first appointment.

Question 5

What's the difference between standard care and membership?

Accepted Answer

Standard care (non-member) means you book visits as you need them. Membership means a direct line to your provider, same-week scheduling, member pricing on services, and a clinician who knows your name and your history.

Question 6

Is my information private?

Accepted Answer

Your clinical information is handled under our Notice of Privacy Practices, available on request and at your first visit. Please do not send medical details by general email; call the office to schedule directly with the practice.

Question 7

Do I have to come to Stilwell for every visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — for now, all visits are in person, here in Stilwell. That's by design: your provider wants to meet you, review your labs, and build your plan face to face. We don't offer telehealth at this time. Members receive priority, same-week scheduling.

Question 8

Is hormone therapy safe?

Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy is well-established, lab-based care when it's directed by an experienced clinician and monitored over time — which is exactly how your provider approaches it, starting with comprehensive baseline labs, reviewing your personal and family history with you, and talking through the real risks and benefits for your situation before you start anything. Follow-ups are quarterly, and your plan is adjusted to how you feel, not just the numbers. What's right for one person isn't right for everyone — that conversation is the whole point.

Question 9

Are peptide therapies safe and legal?

Accepted Answer

There is no blanket answer for every peptide product. Ask your provider about the specific medication, proposed use, regulatory status, evidence, risks and alternatives. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Call the office to discuss individual options.

Question 10

Are you the same Stilwell Wellness as the yoga studio?

Accepted Answer

No — and we get this question a lot. Stilwell Wellness Solutions is a credentialed medical practice run by Karen Parmely, NP (Family Nurse Practitioner). Any yoga studio or other "Stilwell wellness" brand is unrelated to us. If you're looking for hormone, weight, peptide, IV, or DOT physical care from a licensed clinician — that's us.
