About SATTVA Family Healthcare

What is SATTVA Family Healthcare?

SATTVA Family Healthcare is a family practice at 5901 Encina Rd, Suite C3, in Goleta, California. It sees children, adults and families. It runs as a membership-based private practice and uses a functional medicine approach alongside conventional care. The prescribers are Su Wyatt, FNP, MSN, Marlis Hamory, FNP, and Kristen Collins, FNP-C, MSN. Su has over 30 years of experience in the medical field.

Its services include telehealth, home visits, well child and annual exams, diagnostic testing, hormone consults, routine and travel appointments, and IV therapy. It names IM B12, glutathione, NAD+ and peptides among its therapies. For women, it offers Estrogen Edge, a program for perimenopause and menopause. Telehealth is offered. In its own words: you may request a phone or Zoom appointment at a scheduled time with Su. Office hours are Monday, Thursday and Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, with Tuesday and Wednesday listed for home visits. It has a Google rating of 5 from 9 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not accept insurance, so care is cash pay. It gives a superbill you can submit to your insurer, and it takes card, cash or check. A $350 New Membership Registration Fee applies to new patients only, and insurance does not cover that fee or the annual membership fee. Each additional family member on a yearly package gets a $50 in-office credit.

Little Lights, for the first three years, is $5,100 from birth to age 3, covering 13 well-child visits, iron checks and membership. Shorter Little Lights plans are $3,475 (birth to 11 months), $2,675 (11 months to 3 years) and $1,700 (23 months to 3 years). Bloom, for ages 3 and up, is $1,250 a year, with member visits from $205 to $450 and home visits from $450 to $650. Estrogen Edge is $2,250 a year, or $800 a month for 3 months with a one-year commitment. HOP is $3,650 for a 4-month program. The Alchemy Path is $6,050 a year.

Packages leave out vitamins, supplements, prescriptions and labs. Estrogen Edge's micronutrient and microbiome panels are not included in its price. It does not publish prices for IV therapy, peptides, consultations or hormone visits outside the program.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $800 monthly Estrogen Edge price includes the hormone medication, since the program does not say. Ask who writes hormone prescriptions, because no prescriber is named for that program. Ask whether hormone therapy is available outside Estrogen Edge and what a hormone visit costs. For peptides, ask which ones it uses for weight loss and reduced inflammation, what they cost, and whether any are compounded, and by which pharmacy. Ask the consultation fee and what labs cost. Ask how the one-year commitment can be cancelled if you stop early.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay family practice in Goleta that sees children and adults, you are comfortable with a membership model, and you will get the medication, peptide and lab costs in writing before you commit. It suits a woman looking at Estrogen Edge only if she can confirm who prescribes and what the monthly price covers.
