Medicine that answers to you.
Direct-care endocrinology — in person in Wexford, and by secure telehealth across Pennsylvania and Ohio.
A calm, private practice — 20 minutes north of Pittsburgh
Chia Endocrinology & Wellness was founded by Dr. Farhad Hasan to restore the art of medicine: longer visits, a real physician relationship, and treatment decisions made with you — not an insurer.
A practice with a point of view.
Optimal hormone & metabolic health
Help every patient reach — and keep — their best hormone and metabolic health.
Care that knows you
Exceptional medicine from a physician who truly knows you — your history, your goals, your life.
Beyond managing disease
Proactive prevention and optimization, so you feel, look, and be your best.
A simpler path to better medicine
You pay your physician directly. Insurers and administrators step out of the room — and your doctor answers to you.
Time, not a stopwatch
A deliberately small panel means your case gets the time it needs — about an hour for a new consultation.
Real access
Members reach Dr. Hasan directly between visits — not a call tree.
No surprise bills
Clear, upfront pricing. You always know what you're paying, and why.
"I see a limited number of patients each day so I can give each one premium care and the time they deserve. To practice this way, I've opted out of commercial insurance — the only way to truly put the patient first."
Traditional endocrinology, med-spas, or Chia Endocrinology?
Hormone clinics are opening everywhere, and health-system endocrinology is buried in waits and insurance. Here's how they really compare.
| How We're Different | Traditional Endocrinology Hospital systems & insurance-based offices |
Hormone Clinics & Med-Spas TRT/HRT shops, weight-loss & online |
Chia Endocrinology & Wellness Direct-care, physician-led |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who treats you | A rotating roster of providers | A non-physician following a sales protocol | Dr. Hasan, board-certified endocrinologist — every visit |
| Time with you | 15–20 rushed minutes | A quick intake built to start a prescription | 60 focused, one-on-one minutes |
| The approach | Manage the disease, refill, repeat | Sell hormones, supplements, and packages | Diagnose the root cause, then treat and optimize |
| Hormone therapy | Evidence-based, but slow to access | Compounded creams, pellets, peptides — often without real diagnosis | Evidence-based, FDA-approved, after an honest risk–benefit discussion |
| Diabetes, thyroid, pituitary & adrenal | Yes — access-limited | Cannot treat these | The full endocrine spectrum, in depth |
| Access between visits | A portal and front desk | Often a sales line | Direct access to your doctor |
| Wait for first visit | Often months | Same week — eager to sell | Usually within 1–2 weeks |
| Billing | Copays, deductibles, surprise bills | Packages and products, sold on commission | Transparent pricing — nothing to sell you |
| Answers to | Insurers & administrators | Sales targets | You. Dr. Hasan owns the practice |
The bottom line: a real endocrinologist in the room, nothing to sell you, and no insurer to please.
"Wait — you don't take insurance?"
Correct — and it's the biggest reason the care is better. Insurance doesn't pay for time, prevention, or access. Outside it, Dr. Hasan answers to one person: you.
A real doctor, not a sales funnel
Your fee buys a board-certified endocrinologist's judgment — not a compounded-hormone upsell.
You always know the price
Transparent visit and membership pricing — often less per year than the bills insurance leaves behind.
Insurance still works for you
Labs and imaging bill to your insurance as usual, and superbills support out-of-network reimbursement.
