Exclusive One-on-One VIP Health Package with McCall McPherson
Your one-on-one, VIP package will partner you with one of the world’s leading experts in thyroid disorders. You’ll work together with McCall to understand and address the nuances of your thyroid and hormone struggles, and build a custom plan specifically for your needs. It’s our belief that your thyroid issue needs to be treated with precision. Anything less than precise simply won’t get you where you need to be, leaving you with the disabling symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, and poor metabolism among the many other thyroid symptoms most thyroid patients experience.
We’ll work together to address other common hormone disorders that frequently accompany thyroid disorders - like estrogen dominance, low testosterone, poor adrenal function, and symptoms of menopause.
Equally important - a big factor that can affect your quality of life is chronic inflammation. It can weigh you down and over time, lead to more significant issues like Hashimoto’s. We'll take time to address any hidden drivers of chronic inflammation that frequently contribute to symptoms. Working with McCall is a bespoke package, tailored to your precise needs.
This VIP package offers a full year of care, allowing you to bypass our waitlists for all appointments. You'll have direct access to McCall via her personal cell phone during business hours, along with all the benefits of the VIP annual package. This means you won’t need to book and wait for appointments or coordinate with administrative staff—you'll have seamless access to McCall.
- Your annual VIP package is designed to eliminate barriers and time constraints in your recovery journey. We prioritize your return to optimal health by offering increased access, more frequent visits with McCall, and the following package benefits:
- • 10 visits with McCall and 2 visits with your personal Thyroid Health Coach to ensure your plan and health are consistently moving towards vitality and resilience.
- • An inflammatory food panel evaluating 200 foods to measure your body’s inflammatory response.

FAQ
frequently asked questions
We specialize in treatment for thyroid and certain endocrine disorders using progressive methodologies to give patients their lives back. We believe that a patient’s symptoms, not just lab results, should guide treatment.
Conditions We DO Treat: Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s Disease, Graves Disease, fatigue, symptoms associated to menopause, menstrual disorders, hormonal imbalances, hormone replacement, treatment after thyroidectomy.
Conditions We DO NOT Treat: primary care concerns, Lupus, MS, molds or heavy metal toxicity, parathyroid, psychiatric disorders (including depression and anxiety that is unrelated to thyroid condition), SIBO or gut-only conditions, or pain management.
Though we don’t conform to one-size-fits-all thyroid management, we do find that these types of medications, or other medications that include T3 in them, often work best for patients. We do a full analysis of how each person’s thyroid is functioning and base treatment on that, but in short, we are a fan of natural desiccated thyroid.Check out Why Synthroid Doesn’t Work on our You Tube channel.
We do an in-depth thyroid panel to fully understand your thyroid function, allowing us to fix and perfect even the most minor or complex of issues. Our normal thyroid panel includes: TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, Thyroid-peroxidase Antibodies, & Thyroglobulin Antibodies.
100% yes! This is the area where functional medicine truly thrives. All of our clinicians are trained to search for and attempt to address the “root cause” of these conditions, attempting lower antibodies and ideally create a state of remission.
As far as Grave’s disease goes, McCall McPherson has a unique approach of managing Grave’s that she is having success with, ideally allowing them to live a high quality of life without having to experience the symptoms of hyper or hypo – thyroid like so many are stuck with.
Yes, we use Naltrexone to treat the appropriate patients.
All day, every day! We believe if someone has prolonged thyroid dysfunction that hasn’t been properly treated, they end up with some level of adrenal fatigue. This has to be addressed to give people their life back.
Yes, we offer hormone replacement for both men and women and also help premenopausal and postmenopausal women balance their hormones.
Yes, we order food allergy testing whenever necessary or requested, especially for Hashimoto + Graves patients. Our food allergy testing is done through a third-party lab, Alletess Laboratory, and they test your sensitivity to almost 200 foods. We have test kits in our office, or one can be shipped to your address. After you get your blood drawn and return the test kit to the lab, we receive the results in about 2 weeks. We recommend you see our health coach, Hayley Adams, for a consultation to review the results.
Thanks to recent changes to the Texas medical laws regarding telemedicine, we are now excited to offer telephone and virtual appointments to our patients. If you are a Texas resident, you can be seen virtually or via telephone appointment 100% of the time with no need to come into the office. If you live outside of Texas, please give our office a call to discuss options. We would love to help walk you through this process.
When you set up your first appointment with us we will ask for credit card information as a “deposit” to hold your appointment. We do not charge your card until you have actually had an appointment with your provider. We keep that credit card information on file and will charge it for any subsequent phone or virtual appointments that you may have. The credit card information is kept securely by our payment systems.
Absolutely! We accept any type of debit or credit card, cash or check as payment.
We are a cash-based practice and do not accept insurance. We pride ourselves on spending a great deal of time with patients to understand the state of their health by gathering information, analyzing symptoms, educating them, and giving each one the time and attention they fully deserve that is critical to their medical care. Because of this, it is impossible to follow the insurance model of medicine, which generally allots only 15 minutes per patient. We can, however, provide a Superbill upon request, for you to submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network coverage.
We do our absolute best to order labs that are hopefully covered by your insurance in order to limit your out-of-pocket expenses whenever possible. If you have HMO insurance, we try to work directly with your primary care doctor to get your labs covered or we can refer you to a specific lab that offers discount cash prices.
Your first appointment with a clinician is an hour long either by Zoom or at our office located in the Alive + Well building. Your provider will find you in the waiting area and escort you back to the office where you’ll have an in-depth but relaxed conversation about the current state of your health and what brings you to Modern Thyroid Clinic. At the end of your visit your provider will do a very short physical exam where they will listen to your heart and feel your neck and thyroid area. No changing clothes, no weighing, no nurses, and no exam table; just a couch, a desk, a clinician and you! After your appointment, an appointment plan, or instructions, with all of the information that was discussed during your appointment, including prescriptions and future lab orders can be found in your patient portal later that same day.
Requests from pharmacies can be faxed to (512) 852-6746
We understand that at times it may be necessary to communicate with our office via email or phone call regarding certain aspects of your medical care or other administrative needs, such as scheduling or cancelling appointments or asking a MINOR medical question and that’s OK; however, providing medical advice or treatment via email is not an ideal or an effective way for our providers to practice medicine. If you have more than 1-2 BASIC questions or if you have an issue that requires discussion, questions regarding a new health issue, what to do next or a change in protocol, or questions that require access to your chart or clinical decision making by your provider then you will be asked to schedule a brief follow-up appointment so that the proper attention can be given to your issue.
Please note that our clinicians and administrative staff receive an overwhelming number of email messages and phone calls on a daily basis, so we have a 48-BUSINESS HOUR return message policy. We make every attempt to return your messages in a timely manner, but it may take up to 48 business hours to get back to you.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to note that Modern Thyroid Clinic is NOT an acute-care or emergent-care facility and does not take after-hours calls. We highly recommend that you keep a primary care doctor or other physician on your health care team to manage acute care situations. We are not equipped to manage life-threatening emergencies. If you are experiencing an emergency, you should call 9-1-1 or report to the nearest emergency room.
