About HealthyU Clinics – Avondale

What is HealthyU Clinics, Avondale?

HealthyU Clinics in Avondale is a multi-service medical clinic, not a storefront built around one drug. Its Avondale office, on West Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, runs primary care alongside podiatry, behavioral health, sports medicine, cardiology, women's health, pain management, and chiropractic care. Weight management and hormone replacement therapy are two of those services, offered as part of a general practice rather than as a standalone program. Lisa Shaffer, MSN, APRN, A-GNP BC, is the internal medicine provider at the Avondale office; two podiatrists, Justin Singh, DPM and James Schmidt, DPM, also see patients at that address, though podiatry is a separate line of care from weight management or hormone therapy. The weight management service is described as "provider-led" and includes nutritional guidance, lifestyle support, and "medical therapies when appropriate," though no specific weight-loss medication is named for this location. HealthyU Clinics also has offices in Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, and Surprise, so the general approach and service list apply across the group, not just the Avondale address.

This listing is for its Avondale office at 13026 West Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, Suite C-100.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for weight management, hormone therapy, or any other service at the Avondale office. There is no stated consultation fee, no monthly program fee, and no mention of whether a weight-loss medication, if prescribed, would be billed separately from an office visit. Whether insurance is accepted for these particular services also goes unstated, though Medicare Advantage is named among the offerings, which suggests some insurance-based billing happens for other care. If cost matters to your decision, which for cash-pay services it almost always does, you will need to call and ask what a first visit costs and what ongoing treatment would run.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who would actually write your prescription if weight management or hormone therapy is recommended, and whether that would be Lisa Shaffer or another provider. Ask whether any weight-loss medication discussed would be brand-name or compounded, and whether the monthly cost, once you get a number, includes the medication itself or just the visit. Ask what lab work is required before starting hormone therapy or a weight-loss medication, and what that costs separately. Ask how follow-up visits are scheduled and billed, and whether telehealth is an option if getting to Avondale in person is hard. Ask what happens if you want to stop treatment, whether there is a program commitment or just pay-as-you-go visits.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you would rather get weight management or hormone therapy from a provider who also handles your primary care, rather than from a single-purpose weight-loss clinic, and you do not mind calling ahead for pricing and prescriber details. It is a less direct fit if you want a program with published costs and a clear monthly structure from the start, since neither is available without a phone call.
