Healthcare that provides better access
We are committed to providing better care than what is available at larger practices. Our current healthcare system does not allow doctors and mid-level providers adequate time for preventive and thorough care. Direct Care practice models are a thriving solution to our broken healthcare system. How does this work? By limiting involvement with insurance companies.
As a Hybrid Direct Care practice, we currently participate with five insurance providers (commercial plans only): BCBS, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, Mass General Brigham and Aetna.
People with other insurance plans or no insurance can join our Direct Care model for the same high-quality, personalized care.
Equal time and flexibility for appointments is extended to both insurance and Direct Care patients, ensuring high quality medical care for everyone.
You can trust that all your health concerns will be addressed thoroughly, with ample time to discuss your symptoms, treatment options, and any questions you may have.
What we offer
Women’s Health
Dr. Costello brings a wealth of experience in treating a wide range of women’s health conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and osteoporosis. With a compassionate, patient-centered approach, she ensures that you feel heard and understood at every visit. All aspects of perimenopause and menopause care are also a big part of our practice, with both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
Endocrine Care/Diabetes Care
Your endocrine system of glands and hormones control most of the functions in your body, and it’s not uncommon for things to go awry. We have a lot of experience managing common conditions such as diatebes care, thyroid disease and osteoporosis, as well as the more rare disorders of the pituitary and adrenal glands. See Our Services for our full list of care.
Nutrition Education
We are the most comprehensive resource for all things nutrition! Our passion is teaching our patients about clean eating and reducing inflammation, the benefits of a Mediterranean type diet, and of course the evolving knowledge of the microbiome. Nutrition is at the very core of good health.
Metabolism & Obesity
Years of research have improved the understanding of “metabolism”, and has paved the way for better treatment options for conditions related to weight. Technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring and devices to measure your metabolism can help us analyze how your body works: how your blood sugar fluctuates and how many calories you burn daily.
Whether you are looking for weight loss in a medical setting or endocrinology expertise, you’ve come to the right place. We value flexible scheduling to reduce work or childcare conflicts, easy communication, and spending adequate time to address all your needs.
