About T1Rx

What is Emerald Medical?

Emerald Medical is a primary care practice in Vero Beach, Florida. Primary care is its main business. Weight loss and hormone therapy sit alongside IV therapy, ketamine therapy, mental health services, and virtual consultations. It says it has over 30 years of combined experience in primary and emergency medical care.

It describes its physicians as board-certified, but it does not name anyone as the provider who prescribes. Ask who that is before you book.

Its weight loss program is described as personalized and medically supervised, with Phentermine as the only medication it names. Its hormone services include testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Peptide therapy and longevity medicine do not appear in its service list.

Its listed office is in Vero Beach. Some of its marketing is written for Port St. Lucie, and a Port St. Lucie address appears on an event listing. It does not list an office there as a clinic location, so confirm where you would be seen.

This listing is for its Vero Beach office at 6200 20th Street, Ste #378.

What does it cost?

It publishes two prices. The initial consultation is $300. In the hormone section, it says that price includes a full lab panel, a physician consult, and the first month of treatment. Follow-up hormone care is billed monthly. In its own words: "Any follow on treatments are at the special price of $160 per month." That subscription covers the hormone, syringes, alcohol swabs, and tele-med follow-ups about hormone therapy.

It does not publish prices for weight loss, IV therapy, ketamine, or mental health care. It does not say whether weight loss medication is included in any monthly fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance. It offers discounts to veterans on its hormone plans, and its ketamine care carries special discounts for veterans and first responders. It does not state cancellation terms for the monthly subscription.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription and whether that person is a physician or a physician assistant. Then ask whether the weight loss program has a monthly fee, and whether that fee includes the Phentermine. Ask what visits and lab work cost along the way.

For testosterone, ask which product is prescribed and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the $300 consultation applies to weight loss as well as hormone care, since the price appears in the hormone section. Ask how cancellation works, whether insurance is accepted or billed, and when the Vero Beach office is open, because no hours are shown. If you want virtual visits for weight loss, ask whether the first one can be done remotely. The office number is (772) 307-9840.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care in Vero Beach with weight loss or hormone therapy under one practice, you are ready to pay cash, and you want a named prescriber before you commit. Veterans and first responders may also want to ask about the discounts and the Sheepdog Program, which the practice describes as a licensed and credentialed counseling program for mental health and substance abuse.
