About Ahner Medical Center

What is Ahner Medical Center?

Ahner Medical Center is a physician-run practice at 25 NE Dixie Highway in Stuart, Florida. Charles E. Ahner, M.D. is the prescriber the practice names. His CV lists a private practice at this address since 2002, and he holds a diplomate listing with the American Board of Internal Medicine. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You book by phone at 772-692-9200, since the office does not take appointments online. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 3.9 rating from 14 reviews.

The practice describes itself mainly as integrative and functional medicine with internal medicine. Its service list includes Bioidentical Hormone Replacement for men and women, Anti-Aging Medicine, IV vitamin and glutathione therapy, chelation therapy, thyroid testing and treatment, and Natural Weight Control. The male hormone section names testosterone. In its own words: "Dr. Ahner will be happy to discuss the use of testosterone as part of an anti-aging program." The practice does not list a GLP-1 weight loss program or a peptide program.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. No consultation fee, hormone therapy price, medication cost, or lab cost appears in its materials. It also does not say whether the medication is included in any fee, or whether there is a membership or cancellation policy.

The only payment option named is Care Credit, a financing option. The insurance section says the office accepts it for patients not covered by Medicare. It does not say whether any insurance is accepted, and it does not mention HSA or FSA cards.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and whether Dr. Ahner sees you in person first. The practice describes a first visit with Dr. Ahner that includes a questionnaire and exam.

Ask for the full cost of the first visit and first labs. The male hormone section says the first step is a testosterone level and a PSA test. The female hormone section describes a urine test and several hormone measurements. Ask what each costs and whether they are billed separately.

Ask whether the medication is included in any fee. Ask whether the hormone is a brand-name product or compounded. The female hormone section describes custom blending and compounded dosage forms, so ask which applies to you.

Ask whether telehealth visits are offered. The clinic does not say.

Ask whether HSA or FSA cards are accepted, and how cancellation and follow-up visits are billed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person hormone or integrative care from a physician who has run this practice since 2002, and you are willing to ask for prices before you commit. It may not suit you if you need published prices before you call, or if you are looking for a GLP-1 or peptide program, since neither appears in the clinic's materials.
