About

Corbin Burns, PA-C, is a physician assistant on the Defy Medical care team. He earned a biology degree from Birmingham-Southern College in 2014 and a master's in physician assistant studies from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2017. Before joining Defy, his work included emergency medicine and behavioral health. That background is relevant in hormone care because many patients come in with energy, mood, sleep, libido, and recovery concerns that need both structured clinical reasoning and careful conversation.

What to Know

Signature approach

Burns frames TRT and hormone optimization through root-cause, lifestyle, and individualized-goal work. Emergency medicine contributes organized clinical decision-making; behavioral health helps with the mood, sleep, stress, and motivation side of the visit. At Defy, his work centers on hormone replacement and integrative wellness within the company's lab-led telehealth model.

What sets them apart

  • Emergency and behavioral-health background. That pairing is useful for hormone visits where acute reasoning, mood, sleep, and communication all matter.
  • Holistic hormone framing. His bio emphasizes root causes, lifestyle factors, and individualized goals alongside TRT and HRT.
  • Current Defy telehealth context. He works inside a larger hormone and wellness team with Tampa clinic support and national telemedicine reach.

Before You Book

  • Ask about provider availability. Burns appears to be a newer Defy roster addition, so confirm scheduling if you want him specifically.
  • Plan around Defy's lab-led workflow. Hormone care starts with labs and a recent physical exam before prescribing.
  • Use the right care channel. Complex acute or non-hormone needs may require primary care or specialty care outside the hormone program.
  • Budget as self-pay. Defy does not bill insurance.
