Why Choose Crabtree Health
physician led care
Get expert guidance from a board-certified physician with dual expertise in primary care and obesity medicine. We address root causes of weight gain and hormone imbalances, not just symptoms.
Hormone expertise
Our specialized knowledge in women’s hormonal health (PCOS, perimenopause, menopause) and men’s metabolic health means your care plan is truly tailored. For example, we use advanced hormonal testing and metabolic labs to pinpoint issues like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, or low testosterone. This ensures we treat the root cause of stubborn weight and fatigue.
Comprehensive care
Access full-spectrum adult primary care and targeted metabolic/hormonal treatment under one roof. From managing diabetes and thyroid issues to treating PCOS and menopause, we integrate it all.
data driven results
Enjoy cutting-edge tools like Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) for real-time insights into your metabolism. We’ll track your blood sugar trends to fine-tune your nutrition and lifestyle – helping you make smarter choices based on data.
Many patients get a free CGM included with our premium plans for continuous metabolic monitoring.
Services & Programs Overview
Harness the Crabtree Health advantage through our range of services designed to reset your metabolism and restore your wellness:
Primary Care Membership
Tired of rushed doctor visits? Our comprehensive Primary Care service offers all the basics and more. Enjoy annual physicals, sick visits, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, etc.), plus a focus on prevention and wellness. You can use your insurance or join our Direct Primary Care membership for just $99/month – which includes unlimited office visits, same-day appointments, extended visits, and no surprise bills. It’s healthcare on your terms, with a physician who truly listens.
Men’s Metabolic & Primary Care
A growing number of men trust Crabtree Health to improve their metabolic health. From managing pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, and stubborn belly fat to optimizing energy levels, we’ve got you covered. Our physician can evaluate issues like metabolic syndrome or low testosterone as part of your care. Get a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle, so you can lose weight and gain vitality.
Hormonal Health for Women
Specialized care for PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, and thyroid disorders. We offer bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) when appropriate, advanced lab testing, and lifestyle guidance to help you feel like yourself again. Say goodbye to hot flashes, mood swings, and hormonal weight gain – our women’s health consults address it all with empathy and expertise.
Medical Weight Loss Programs
Personalized weight loss plans that work with your hormones, not against them. Our flagship 12-Week Metabolic Reset Program combines a physician-designed diet (carb cycling, intermittent fasting) with optional FDA-approved medications and health coaching for safe, sustainable results. (Qualifying plans even include a complimentary CGM device to monitor progress.) Whether you’re a woman battling post-baby weight or a man struggling with a “dad bod,” we tailor the approach to you.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring – Your Metabolic Game-Changer
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in use, providing real-time glucose readings.
Imagine knowing exactly how your body responds to each meal and workout. Our Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) program gives you precisely that insight. A small sensor worn on your arm tracks blood sugar 24/7, so we can identify hidden spikes and tailor your plan in real time. It’s like having a metabolic coach by your side, every day.
“The CGM opened my eyes to how stress affected my sugars – it changed everything!”
01
Personalized Nutrition
See which foods keep your blood sugar stable and which don’t. We’ll adjust your meal plan to minimize cravings and energy crashes.
03
Preventative Health
Catch early signs of insulin resistance or pre-diabetes before they become problems. CGM provides data that standard tests might miss, helping us intervene sooner.
02
Optimize Weight Loss
Break through plateaus by aligning eating patterns with your glucose trends. Our patients often find that CGM-guided tweaks supercharge their progress.
04
Included in Premium Plans
Our most supportive weight loss programs include monthly CGM monitoring with clinical oversight. Not in a program? You can still add a CGM plan ($149/month) for ongoing metabolic care – a premium offering for those serious about data-driven health.
Insurance & Payment Flexibility
1 / Insurance Accepted
Access to quality care is our priority. Crabtree Health accepts most major insurance plans – including Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare – so your visits may be covered just like any primary care appointment.
2 / Direct Primary Care Membership
Just $99/month for unlimited visits, same-day scheduling, longer appointments, and discounted labs and procedures. No hidden fees or surprise bills – ever.
3 / Transparent Self-Pay Rates
Prefer to pay per visit? We provide up-front pricing for all services. For example, a one-time Metabolic & Hormone Tune-Up consult is available if you want an in-depth evaluation without long-term commitment (call for details).
Whether you use your insurance or pay directly, you’ll get the same attentive, expert care. No one is turned away – we’ll find a plan that fits your needs and budget.
