Dr. Costello specializes in treating the following types of patients:
Medical Philosophy: Holistic Medicine
More info: Currently my practice is a cash based practice. My rates are very reasonable, and what this model provides is more time spent with my patients and complete flexibility to see my patients either in person or via telehealth at times that work best for them. My patients do not have to take time off work, worry about child care, or travel if that is a hardship. I plan to eventually take BC/BC, Tufts and Harvard Pilgrim- the contracting process is currently underway.
Offers Financing/Payment Plans?: Unknown
Bills on a Sliding Scale?: Unknown
I will soon be accepting BC/BC, Tufts and Harvard Pilgrim. Currently I operate on a cash only basis, with very reasonable pricing. This affords a great deal of time with my patients, as well as total flexibility to meet their scheduling needs. We are always reachable by phone or email. We also provide full support with medication coverage and issues related to obtaining needed medication.
