Vida Family Medicine is a small direct-care practice in Sugar Land, and Dr. Kumar is the internist there who handles midlife and menopause care. Her perimenopause evaluation runs over two visits, a 60 to 90 minute history and physical with labs ordered, then a results review where she sets a plan that can mix hormone and non-hormone treatment. She wants the first visit in person because she does a physical assessment including a pelvic exam, and after that visits can be by video, with messaging in between through the practice's Spruce app. She will also come to your home for a new patient visit in some Houston neighborhoods for an extra fee. She came to this from hospital and ICU work and primary care at the VA, and she says plainly that she makes no money from selling medications or supplements, so she sticks to proven treatments and steers people away from quick fixes sold by non-experts. She asks patients to plan on six months to a year of working together, and the practice cannot take anyone eligible for Medicare or Medicaid.
