About Replenish Wellness Center

What is Replenish Wellness Center?

Replenish Wellness Center is a physician-run clinic at 185 Chateau Drive, Suite 302-B, in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. James Thacker, M.D., leads it and is the only prescriber named. His bio describes 15 years as an anesthesiologist and a fellowship in pain medicine. It says he opened Huntsville Pain Management in 2011, then added hormone therapy and treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) to the practice. It does not publish the year the wellness center opened.

Hormone therapy is the service it leads with. It offers BHRT pellets for men and women, inserted just under the skin on the fleshy part of the gluteus in the office. It also offers TBI treatment and pain management. It promotes a 16-week medical assistant program from Huntsville Pulse Medical Assistant School, offered at the office. Google lists it as a pain control clinic, with a 5-star rating from 2 reviews. The phone number is (256) 885-2499.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, whether it accepts insurance, whether medication is included in the price of pellet therapy, or whether labs are included. Its process runs in this order: an office visit to discuss symptoms and medical history, a full lab workup, a meeting to go over the results, and then, if you choose, a pellet inserted the same day. In its own words: "We'll order a full lab workup for you." Get the cost of each step before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for your pellets and whether Dr. James Thacker, M.D., sees you at each insertion. Ask whether the pellet price includes the medication, the insertion and follow-up visits. The clinic names only "BHRT Pellets," so ask whether they are a manufactured product or made by a compounding pharmacy, and who makes them.

Ask what the lab workup costs and whether it is repeated before later pellets. The timing between pellets varies from person to person, so ask how the office decides when you return and what each return visit costs. Also ask whether it takes insurance or works cash only, whether financing or an HSA can be used, what its hours are, whether any part of care can be done by telehealth, and how cancellation works.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-office hormone therapy with pellets, expect to have labs done before any treatment, and are ready to call and get the full cost in writing before the first visit. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or telehealth, since neither is stated.
