What is Preventive Medicine Centers?
Preventive Medicine Centers is a hormone clinic at 3001 E Tahquitz Canyon Way #108 in Palm Springs, CA 92262, on the corner of Tahquitz and Civic Dr. It has been open since 1997. David Wilgarde is the physician who prescribes. He is Rouzier trained, and the founder, Neal Rouzier, stopped seeing patients in 2016 to train other providers.
It offers testosterone, thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and melatonin therapy, plus BHRT, pellet therapy, DHEA, erectile dysfunction therapy, PCOS and IV therapy. It also sells B-12 injections and oral supplements. It can prescribe HGH, which needs one more blood test. Its first visit is one hour and must be in person. In its own words: "We only require one in-person visit to our clinic and we can manage your case by telephone from then on."
The phone number is 760-320-4292. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM. It has a 4.4 rating on Google from 14 reviews.
What does it cost?
The annual program costs $750 a year after the first year. That fee falls due each year on the anniversary of the first appointment, and it does not include medication. The initial consultation is a one-hour in-person visit, and the clinic does not publish its fee or the first-year program fee. A $150 non-refundable deposit is due when you book. Initial labs for men and women average $200 and are paid when ordered, and the HGH test costs extra. It does not publish hormone medication prices, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted. Its prices are subject to change.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who will prescribe after the first visit and how quickly phone follow-ups happen. Ask whether each hormone is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic describes its therapy as bio-identical without naming products. Ask what the $750 covers beyond the doctor's time, because medication is not included. Ask the price of the consultation and the first-year fee, and whether the $150 deposit applies to them. Ask whether insurance is billed. Ask what additional labs cost, since only the first follow-up labs are included in the first year. Ask how the annual program is cancelled, which it does not publish. Finally, ask how out-of-state patients stay on care, since testosterone is a controlled substance and the clinic treats patients who live elsewhere once care is set up in its California office.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you can travel to Palm Springs for one in-person visit, are willing to have blood work done near home at LabCorp, and want hormone care with phone follow-ups after the start. It suits people who can budget for a $750 yearly fee on top of medication costs. If you need the consultation fee, insurance details or cancellation terms before you commit, call and ask first.
