Care Designed for Women Who Want More Time and Deeper Support
A focused, physician-led visit for women who want comprehensive, personalized care beyond a routine annual exam.
What Is an Extended Wellness Visit?
An Extended Wellness Visit at Plano Wellness is a longer, more comprehensive appointment with Dr. Diaz, designed for women who want dedicated time to address multiple concerns, ongoing symptoms, or broader health goals.
These visits go beyond the scope of a standard well-woman exam and allow for deeper discussion, evaluation, and planning.
When an Extended Wellness Visit May Be Right for You
Extended Wellness Visits are not intended to replace routine preventive care, but to provide an option for patients who want a broader, more in-depth experience.
This option is often a good fit if you:
1. Want more time with Dr. Diaz to discuss complex or ongoing concerns
2. Have multiple symptoms that feel connected but haven’t been fully addressed
3. Are interested in thoughtful hormone therapy evaluation and management
4. Want a comprehensive, physician-led discussion about midlife health and wellness
5. Prefer a visit that allows space for education, questions, and long-term planning
What’s Included
Extended Wellness Visits allow time for:
- A comprehensive review of symptoms and health history
- Discussion of hormone-related concerns and treatment options
- Evaluation of how hormonal changes may be affecting overall health
- Thoughtful planning and individualized recommendations
- Clear explanations and shared decision-making
Care is approached clinically and conservatively, with an emphasis on precision, monitoring, and long-term health.
How This Differs from a Routine Annual Visit
Routine well-woman annual visits are designed to focus on preventive screenings and standard gynecologic care and are typically provided by our nurse practitioners.
Extended Wellness Visits:
- Are longer in duration
- Are led directly by Dr. Diaz
- Allow for broader discussion and deeper evaluation
- Focus on complex concerns and long-term wellness
Both visit types are important — they simply serve different purposes.
Direct Pay & Insurance Information
Extended Wellness Visits are offered as a direct-pay service and are not covered by insurance.
This structure allows:
- Additional time per visit
- A broader scope of discussion
- Greater flexibility in care planning
Our team will clearly explain pricing and what’s included before scheduling, so you can make an informed decision.
How Extended Wellness Visits Fit into Your Care
Patients who choose Extended Wellness Visits may:
- Continue routine annual care with a nurse practitioner
- See Dr. Diaz for wellness-focused or complex visits as needed
- Transition between visit types based on changing needs
Care is coordinated across the team to ensure continuity and clear communication.
A Thoughtful Option—Not a Requirement
Extended Wellness Visits are an option, not an obligation.
- Many patients receive excellent care through routine visits with our nurse practitioners. This offering exists for women who prefer or benefit from additional time and physician-led wellness care.
- Our goal is to provide choices that respect different needs, preferences, and stages of life.
