What is Thrive Natural Medicine?
Thrive Natural Medicine is mainly a naturopathic and functional medicine practice at 36 Seascape Village in Aptos, CA 95003. The phone number is (831)515-8699. It reports serving Santa Cruz County and the surrounding area for 16 years. It was founded in Soquel in 2013 and later moved to its Seascape Village office. Dr. Irene Valencia, ND, is the founder and a listed prescriber. Dr. Rajiv Parti, MD, is the other prescriber on the team. Its practitioners specialize in hormone replacement therapy, longevity medicine and healthy aging, and cardio-metabolic health, among other areas. It does not name the hormone medications it uses. In its own words: "treating you as the unique person that you are."
The clinic lists women's health, men's health, IV therapy, B12 shots, custom herbal formulas, and a Restorative Lounge. It also lists a B12 Happy Hour on Fridays and a supplement store. It does not list a weight loss program or peptide therapy. On Google it is listed as a holistic medicine practitioner, with a rating of 4.5 from 16 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, consultation fees, or membership terms. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether it offers HSA or financing, or whether telehealth is available. Ask for a written price list for the visit or program you are considering before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which prescriber would handle any hormone replacement therapy, and whether that person must see you before a prescription is written. Ask whether any medication is included in a monthly or visit fee or billed separately. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic does not name its medications. Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits, and lab work cost, and whether IV therapy and B12 shots are billed per visit. Ask whether telehealth is possible or whether you must come in person during the clinic's posted hours, Tuesday through Thursday from 10am to 4pm and Friday from 10am to 2pm. Finally, ask how to cancel any plan and whether any fee is refunded.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live near Aptos or in Santa Cruz County, can come in during the clinic's daytime hours, and want naturopathic or functional medicine with an MD on the team. If you are looking for medical weight loss or peptide therapy, this clinic does not list either, so ask about them directly before you book.
