When creating Almond, we asked ourselves: what would it look like if we rebuilt ObGyn with the woman at the center, structured in a way to help women truly get their problems solved? We built a practice based on three principles: convenient booking, action-oriented communication, and a whole-person philosophy of care.

What we offer you at Almond:

• Simple Online Booking. Visits can be booked online in just a few minutes. No hold music, ever.

• Unlimited text messaging with your care team, 7 days a week

• Clear care plans are emailed after every visit, so you never have to wonder what comes next.

• On-site lab with easy specimen drop off.

• Book online and get convenient testing in our office without needing to see a doctor first whenever possible. 

• Beautiful space, helping make the ObGyn experience feel like true self-care <3

Membership is $425 and renews annually. 

Visits & labs are billed to your insurance, and depending on your plan you may have a copay, coinsurance, or deductible. If you have questions about what these mean, your insurance company knows best, and we’re also happy to help you navigate.

The PCOS Program is an add-on to The Classic Membership. The program fee is $1,800, and can be paid upfront or in 4 parts (save $125 with upfront payment, bringing the program fee to $1,675).

The program fee covers support from your Health Coach, in-depth treatment plans, unlimited texting, more time overall with your care providers, and the convenience built into the Almond Dashboard. If you have insurance, we bill your medical visits to insurance.

Visits & labs are billed to your insurance, and depending on your plan you may have a copay, coinsurance, or deductible. If you have questions about what these mean, your insurance company knows best, and we’re also happy to help you navigate.
