About

At CostCare, Dr. Carol Bridges leads a physician-directed clinic in Missoula, MT that brings together Direct Primary Care, urgent care, women's health, and a full-service medical aesthetics practice. The clinic draws patients who want a single, trusted team handling everything from chronic disease management to same-day urgent needs. Telemedicine extends that access further, connecting patients with their provider around the clock.

Dr. Bridges built the aesthetics program around a simple conviction: wellness and self-care belong inside a medical practice. CostCare offers Botox, fillers, SculpSure body contouring, Max G laser treatment for rosacea, TempSure Vitalia radiofrequency vaginal rejuvenation, laser hair removal, and hyaluronic acid treatments. Women's health services include hormone pellet therapy and care for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. 50 per pellet instead of the standard $250 placement cost.
