About Shasa Medical Group

What is Shasa Medical Group?

Shasa Medical Group is a physician-led practice with offices in Redwood City and San Jose, California, serving patients across the Bay Area including San Jose, Gilroy and San Mateo. It is owned by Milliardaire Syverain, a physician who also works as a USCIS civil surgeon, and the clinic describes itself mainly around weight loss, skincare and concierge medicine, with hormone replacement therapy, diet counseling and acne treatment also on offer. Besides Dr. Syverain, the prescribing team includes Annette Barnes, a physician assistant, Kinnari Shah, a physician assistant, and Carina W. Wong, a certified nurse practitioner. For weight loss, the clinic names Wegovy, Ozempic and Tirzepatide as medications it works with, paired with diet and exercise guidance it describes as "clinically guided." The practice has been operating for more than 25 years, and it does not state whether appointments are offered by telehealth or in person only.

This listing is for its Redwood City office at 801 Brewster Ave #220.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for any service, including the weight loss medications it names. The clinic offers a free initial consultation. It states that weight loss appointments qualify as medical expenses that can be paid with FSA, HSA or Medical Savings Account funds, but it does not say whether insurance is accepted or whether the monthly or visit cost includes the medication itself. Anyone interested will need to call and ask for the actual numbers before committing.

What should you ask before you book?

Since four different prescribers are listed, it is worth asking who would actually see you and sign off on any prescription, whether that is Dr. Syverain, a physician assistant, or a nurse practitioner. Ask directly what a program costs beyond the free consultation, and whether that price includes the medication or just the visit. If you are considering Wegovy, Ozempic or Tirzepatide, ask whether what is prescribed is the brand-name drug or a compounded version, since the clinic names brand products but does not specify. Ask what follow-up visits and any lab work cost, and how the weight loss program can be canceled if you decide to stop. If telehealth matters to you, ask whether visits require coming into the Redwood City or San Jose office or can be done remotely.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit for someone in the Bay Area who wants a general practice offering weight loss alongside skincare, hormone therapy and primary care, and who is comfortable calling ahead to get pricing and prescriber details before the first visit. It is less suited to someone who wants a program built only around GLP-1 medication with published, fixed pricing from the outset.
