About Northern California Wellness

What is Northern California Wellness?

Northern California Wellness is a medical spa at 877 Embarcadero Drive Suite 2 in El Dorado Hills, CA. Most of what it offers is aesthetic: Botox, Dysport, dermal fillers and Radiesse, skin treatments such as Icon Photofacial and PDO Thread Lift, and body treatments such as EMSculpt NEO Body Contouring and truSculpt iD Body Sculpting. Hormone therapy is one of its service lines, listed under Health & Wellness with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), BioTE Hormone Pellet Therapy and IV Therapy.

Dr. Cheree Dunbar, MD, MPH, founded the practice and is the only prescriber named. The practice describes her training in age management medicine and bioidentical hormone therapy. Northern California Wellness is a BioTE certified practice. The medications it names are estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. It serves El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Granite Bay, Roseville and Rocklin, and it has a 5 rating on Google from 30 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service, hormone therapy included. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a monthly fee would cover the hormones, or what a hormone therapy consultation costs. Its free consult offer is for aesthetic services. The practice does describe its approach to cost this way: "We offer competitive pricing and package options to make Biote hormone pellet therapy accessible." Ask for every figure in writing before you commit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription, and whether Dr. Dunbar reviews your hormone testing and treatment plan herself. Ask how often you would see her and what the hormone testing costs. Ask whether the pellets are compounded, since the practice says they are "compounded in a specialized pharmacy," and which pharmacy makes them.

Ask whether a package or monthly plan includes the hormones and the insertion, and what you would owe if you stop early. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and repeat insertions cost, and whether any of them fall outside the program price. Ask how cancellation works and whether the Financing & Payment Plans option can be paid off early. Ask whether insurance is accepted, what hours the El Dorado Hills office keeps, and whether any part of the consultation can be done by video.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy alongside aesthetic treatments from one practice in El Dorado Hills, and you are willing to get prices and the prescriber's role in writing before you book. If you are looking for weight loss medication or peptide therapy, those are not among its listed services.
