About Melinda Silva, MD Anti-Aging & Wellness

What is Melinda Silva, MD Anti-Aging & Wellness?

Melinda Silva, MD Anti-Aging & Wellness is a medical spa with two offices, one in Eastlake in Chula Vista and one in Pacific Beach in San Diego. Most of what it offers is aesthetic, including Botox and fillers, CoolSculpting, Emsculpt and facials. It also offers hormone therapy and a physician-supervised weight loss program. In its own words: "We never take a one-size-fits-all approach."

The clinic names one prescriber, Melinda Silva, MD. She is board certified in family medicine and says she has more than 25 years of clinical experience, with training in integrative and functional medicine. Hormone services include bioidentical hormone therapy, female hormone therapy and testosterone therapy (TRT). The weight loss program names semaglutide and tirzepatide. It does not list peptide therapy as a service. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 130 reviews.

This listing is for its San Diego office at 2204 Garnet Ave Ste 302.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or any other treatment. Its one listed payment option is financing. It does not say whether insurance is accepted or whether any price includes medication. Cosmetic consultations are advertised as free, but no consultation fee is stated for weight loss. It lists T-Club and VIP memberships, but gives no membership terms or cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and who you will see at each follow-up. Ask whether the program price includes the medication, the initial labs and later lab work, and what each costs if billed separately. Ask whether those medications are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether hormone treatments built into the weight loss plan are billed on their own.

Ask whether insurance is accepted, and whether HSA or FSA funds can be used with financing. Ask whether any visit can be done by video, since the clinic does not say. Ask how to cancel a membership or program. The clinic lists two different street addresses for its Chula Vista office, so confirm which one applies. If you are looking for peptide therapy or longevity care, ask directly, because neither is listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy, weight loss care or aesthetic treatments from a physician-led medical spa, and you are willing to get prices and terms in writing before you commit. It is less likely to fit if you need insurance billing, published prices or peptide therapy, since none of those are listed.
