About NUWell Medicine

What is NuWell Medicine?

NuWell Medicine is an integrative medical practice with offices in Miramar Beach, Florida, near Sandestin, and in Metairie, Louisiana, which it lists as New Orleans. It builds its care around what it calls Reformative Medicine, which starts with genomic, gut and blood testing before a treatment plan is set. Its services are full diagnostic testing, nutraceutical supplements, IV therapy, NAD+, PRP therapy, vaginal rejuvenation, K Therapy Laser and hormone therapy.

Hormone therapy is the service most relevant to someone looking for hormone care. It is described as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy using pellets. Its published services do not include weight loss medication or peptide therapy. The Sandestin location also includes a medical spa for non-surgical cosmetic treatments, so the practice mixes integrative medicine with aesthetics.

Dr. Devan Szczepanski, MD, MS, is the founder and CEO and a board-certified family medicine physician. Erin Johnson, MSN, FNP-BC, is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who also prescribes. Virtual consultations and programs are offered to clients across the U.S. Google shows a 4.6 rating from 9 reviews.

This listing is for its Metairie office at 701 Metairie Rd Suite 301.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether a hormone therapy price includes the pellets, the consultation or the lab work. It does not contract with medical insurance plans for in-clinic primary care, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted for hormone therapy. Plan on paying cash.

Initial consultations and testing ordered during that visit do not require a membership. After that, patients are asked to choose a membership level. In its own words: "following this initial process, we ask our patients to choose a membership level that best suits their needs." Membership prices and cancellation terms are not published. Most services and testing qualify for HSA or FSA reimbursement, and the office can provide documentation.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the hormone prescription. Dr. Szczepanski and Erin Johnson are the two named prescribers, so ask which of them will oversee your care. Ask whether the hormone is a brand-name product or compounded, and whether the pellet treatment is priced on its own. Ask whether the membership fee covers the pellets, follow-up visits and lab work, and what each costs when it does not.

Ask what testing comes before treatment and how often it is repeated. Ask how membership is cancelled and whether there is a notice period. The practice uses both NuWell and SoWell as names, so ask which one will appear on your bill. If you plan to use HSA or FSA funds, ask what documentation is provided for each charge.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy paid in cash, can reach the Miramar Beach or Metairie office or join by virtual consultation, and want testing done alongside treatment. It is not a fit if you are looking for weight loss medication or peptide therapy, which are not among its services.
