Ethos Endocrinology

Ethos Endocrinology charges $325 for a one-hour initial consultation and $150 for follow-up visits. If your evaluation includes a medical body composition measurement, the practice adds $50 for that service. The practice does not charge a monthly or annual membership fee. You pay only for the visits you schedule.

Ethos Endocrinology does not bill insurance for office visits. The practice operates as a direct care, out-of-network practice with transparent per-visit pricing. You can still use your insurance for lab tests, imaging, and medications through your usual channels. The practice also negotiates deeply discounted cash prices for lab work, so you can choose whichever option costs less.

Initial consultations run one full hour. That time allows Dr. Kanji to take a thorough history, understand your goals, and build a plan. Before your first visit, the practice sends a weight and health history questionnaire through the patient portal. It takes about ten minutes and covers eating patterns, medications, physical activity, sleep, and mental health.

Yes. Ethos Endocrinology offers HIPAA-compliant video visits for both initial consultations and follow-up appointments. You choose the format that works best for you, in-office at 2500 Fondren Rd Suite 320 in Houston or virtual from anywhere.

Dr. Kanji treats a broad range of hormone and metabolic conditions. These include hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, menopause, PCOS, osteoporosis, pituitary adenoma, male hypogonadism, and transgender medicine. He also runs a structured six-month Guided GLP-1 Program for patients pursuing medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications.

The Guided GLP-1 Program is a six-month, structured weight loss program Dr. Kanji built around GLP-1 medications. It goes beyond prescribing a medication. Dr. Kanji works with each patient to address the broader factors behind weight, including nutrition, activity, sleep, and barriers to change. The program suits adults seeking specialist-supervised weight loss with GLP-1 therapy.

Yes. Dr. Kanji holds board certification in both Obesity Medicine and Endocrinology. He evaluates each patient individually, reviews their full health history, and builds a personalized plan. That plan may or may not include GLP-1 medications. The practice uses medical body composition measurement as part of obesity evaluations to guide clinical decision-making.

You schedule a consultation directly through the Ethos Endocrinology website or by calling the practice. Before your first visit, the practice sends a health history questionnaire through the patient portal. The team responds to new consultation requests within one business day.

Yes. Having insurance does not prevent you from becoming a patient. Ethos Endocrinology simply does not bill your insurer for office visits. You pay per visit at the posted rates. For labs, imaging, and medications, you use your insurance exactly as you normally would, or opt for the discounted cash prices the practice has negotiated for lab tests.
