About Raafia Memon

What is Raafia Memon?

Raafia Memon is an endocrinology practice in Newark, Delaware, run by Dr. Raafia Memon, MD, MSCP. She is a board-certified endocrinologist and a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. The practice also goes by Delaware Direct Endocrinology. The office is at 700 Prides Crossing, Suite 306, Newark, DE 19713, in the Iron Hill Corporate Center (White Wing). Before opening this practice, she worked at ChristianaCare for almost 5 years, until July 2024. It has a 5 star Google rating from 44 reviews.

Endocrinology is the main work here. Weight management is one of seven listed service areas, alongside diabetes, thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, bone and reproductive hormone care. Menopause hormone therapy is among her listed areas of interest. Virtual visits are offered. The clinic does not list peptide therapy or longevity services.

What does it cost?

A new patient consultation is $400 for 60 minutes. For a medical weight management visit, the clinic recommends its 90 minute extended consultation at $450, and an optional InBody body composition scan is included at no additional charge. The scan costs $40 on its own, and anyone can book it without becoming a patient. Ongoing care is a membership at $125 per month that starts after the first consultation. It covers unlimited in-person and telemedicine follow-ups, direct messaging, prescription management and refills, prior authorizations, and discounted lab pricing. Single visits without a membership are offered on a limited basis, at $250 for a 30 minute follow-up or $275 for 45 minutes.

It does not say whether any medication is included in these prices, and it does not state membership cancellation terms.

The practice is cash pay only. In its own words: "No, we are not in network with insurance plans and follow the direct care model." It will provide a superbill or receipt, and HSA use may be possible, so check with your insurer. Membership is not available to Medicare patients at this time.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who would prescribe any medication and whether Dr. Memon handles it herself. Ask which weight loss medication, if any, the clinic would use, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. It does not name one. Ask whether the $125 monthly membership includes the medication or only the visits and prescription handling. Ask what lab work and follow-up cost beyond the membership, since lab discounts are mentioned but no amounts are given. Ask how cancellation works and whether you can stop partway through a month. Ask for office hours, which the clinic does not list.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led endocrine practice that handles weight alongside thyroid, diabetes or hormone concerns, and you are prepared to pay cash for every visit. If you are mainly looking for a weight loss program with the medication and total monthly cost stated up front, put the questions above to the office before you book.
