What is Dr. Toni Varela, NMD?
Dr. Toni Varela, NMD is a naturopathic medical practice in Danville, California, at 939 Hartz Way, Suite 100. Dr. Varela, a licensed naturopathic doctor in California with more than 15 years of practice, is the prescriber. The practice covers a wide range: IV therapy and nutrient injections, BHRT and testosterone (TRT) optimization, functional medicine, naturopathic injections, regenerative joint therapy, specialty lab testing, and GLP-1 therapy for weight loss, with peptide therapy also offered as its own category. Named medications include Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss, and Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, and BPC-157 among the peptides discussed. The practice describes itself as working at "the intersection of rigorous biological science and deep clinical intuition," pairing GLP-1 therapy with BHRT rather than using either alone. Appointments run Monday through Friday, available in person in Danville or by virtual consultation, and the practice says it serves patients throughout Northern California.
What does it cost?
No prices are published for the consultation, GLP-1 therapy, BHRT, TRT, or peptide therapy. It does not state whether a monthly or program fee would include the medication itself. What is stated is that Dr. Varela operates as a non-contracted, private-pay provider, meaning this is cash-pay care with no mention of insurance billing. The only financial policy given is on scheduling: 48 hours' notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment, or a full-service fee applies. Anyone interested should ask directly for current pricing before booking.
What should you ask before you book?
Since no prices are listed anywhere, ask what the initial intake costs and what a follow-up visit costs, and whether either includes medication or lab work. Ask whether the GLP-1 medications are brand-name (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) or compounded, since the practice mentions compounding verification language without naming a specific source for every drug. Ask what the specialty lab testing costs separately, since BHRT and the weight loss program both lean on blood, urinary, or salivary testing to set a baseline. If you're outside California, ask whether virtual consultation is available to you, since the telehealth coverage area isn't spelled out. Finally, confirm the cancellation window and fee amount in writing before your first visit.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a single naturopathic doctor handling weight loss, hormone therapy, and peptide protocols together, and you're comfortable paying out of pocket without insurance billing. It's probably not the right starting point if you need firm pricing up front before you'll pick up the phone, since none of the program costs are posted and you'll have to ask for every number yourself.
