Frequently Asked Questions

Almond is currently available for video and in-person visits in Los Angeles. Our LA office is located at 8274 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90046. 

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.
• Clear Care Plans are emailed after every visit, so you never have to wonder what comes next.
• Support 7 days a week. You can even text us. No more phone tag.
• 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 $250 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.

If you're not happy with your experience for any reason, let us know within 30 days of your first visit and we will give you a full refund of the membership. We’d also love your feedback so we can learn and improve - we take it to heart! 

We accept most major PPO plans: Cigna, Aetna, Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross, and United HealthCare. 

No insurance, no problem. We have a simple pricing model:

• $300 for Office visits
• $200 for Telehealth visits
• $250 for same-day video visits
