Dana Gibbs MD - Boutique Thyroid & Hormone Care

Thyroid sufferers - tired of hearing "Your labs are normal", even with persistent low energy and other unexplained symptoms?

Dr. Dana Gibbs specializes in complex hormone conditions that have not responded to standard medical care.

Extended visits and in-depth evaluation for complex thyroid disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and menopause care.

Please note: We do not participate in any insurance plans.

Her personal experience of undiagnosed thyroid disease informs her practice style. Our approach is rooted in data, not dogma. We use T3-inclusive thyroid replacement, advanced testing protocols including Reverse T3, menopausal hormone therapies, and targeted lifestyle strategies to restore energy, focus, sleep, and resilience. We believe your symptoms are real, your time is valuable, and your care should be as individual as your story.

Who We Help:

We see patient after patient who are told their labs are fine, and their symptoms must be "in their head", or they are "just signs of getting older". Many others have been mismanaged by providers who claim expertise, but waste money and time on non-covered labs and unproven treatments that don't get you better.

At Consultants in Metabolism,  we help patients take back control of their health when standard labs and standard care have failed—through precision testing, expert thyroid and hormone management, and whole-person support.

How do I work with you? (Pricing Guide)

We are out of network for all insurance. Our fee schedule is the same regardless of insurance status.

Medical Visits can currently be scheduled for residents of Texas, Iowa, Kentucky, Georgia or Michigan. While an initial in-person visit is best, we can also see patients virtually.

If you live out of state, we also offer direct to physician or collaborative consultations if you have a local physician who is interested in working directly with Dr Gibbs. We also offer health coaching options

Dr Gibbs is currently expanding her licensing and collaborating physician network, so don't hesitate to inquire.

Payment for services is expected in advance of appointments, at the time of scheduling. We require a credit card on file to schedule appointments, order labs or other incidental expenses. We accept cash, credit/debit cards, and Health Savings Plan cards.  We reserve the right to raise prices at any time.

We have an arrangement for cash-pay labs with Labcorp. It is frequently the case that I can get the recommended labs done for you on a cash price basis at a substantial discount even over your insurance copay, if arranged in advance at the time the order is submitted.

Why can't I use my insurance plan(s)?

We welcome patients regardless of insurance status. However, CIM Medical does not participate in any insurance plans.

We are happy to provide medical records and itemized invoices that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out of network reimbursement. Many patients also use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Health Share plans to cover services.

Dr. Gibbs has intentionally chosen a non-insurance model in order to provide the level of expertise, time, and individualized attention required for complex thyroid and hormone care. Practicing within the constraints of insurance based medicine makes it impossible to deliver the depth of evaluation and follow up that these patients deserve.

When you are seen at CIM Medical:

- You work directly with Dr. Gibbs, not a mid level provider

- Appointments are never rushed

- You have direct access to Dr. Gibbs via secure text and portal messaging during business hours

This model has also become necessary due to the increasing frequency of insurance payment denials after services have already been provided, as well as steadily declining reimbursement for independent physicians. Insurance companies consistently undervalue the type of personalized, time intensive care offered outside hospital systems, even as operating costs for staffing, technology, supplies, insurance, and rent continue to rise.

Our goal is to provide thoughtful, thorough care without compromise, rather than limiting medical decision making to what an insurance plan will approve.

Is there a subscription model for ongoing care?

Yes, we definitely recommend an initial 6 month membership.

ACCELERATE - INITIAL SUPPORT PACKAGE:    $2300.00 

Includes the first 6 months of complete care after the Activate stage is complete, $300 off if purchased with the initial visit package.Please see the pricing guide above for more details.

Testimonials

Laurie Norvik

Dr. Gibbs has been an absolute godsend! After suffering for over 3 years with hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep I have found a physician who actually spends time to diagnose and treat the complex hormonal imbalances that are wreaking havoc on the body. The progress we have made in just 2 months has been life changing. Dr. Gibbs is incredibly empathetic, responds to communication promptly, and is easy to schedule an appointment time with. I can't recommend her enough!

Sara Walker

I was so tired and constantly exhausted, and I had brain fog almost all of the time. I’d done expensive sleep studies and seen other specialists but no one could help me feel better until I started working with Doctor Gibbs. She worked with me and validated me, doing labs and everything she needed to figure out how to treat me, and I feel like a completely new person. No more brain fog or exhaustion!m so grateful for her help—it has been life-changing.

Tessa McCook

I have found the best doctor for my thyroid issues. As many of you know I have Hashimoto’s and it has not been an easy ride. I met Dr Dana Gibbs Clark 11 years ago at Central Park ENT. She has since studied to become a thyroid, hormone and metabolism specialist and has established a new practice called Consultants in Metabolism. She is dedicated to helping her patients get their physical and mental health on track. She’s a stellar physician. I highly recommend her.
