About Natural Health Improvement Center

What is Natural Health Improvement Center?

Natural Health Improvement Center is a natural and complementary health practice at 4466 Heritage Ct SW in Grandville, Michigan. Ann M. Auburn, D.O., is the one prescriber the clinic names. Her bio describes more than 8 years of training with physicians and mentors across the United States. The practice describes its approach this way: "look for the root causes of your issues."

The homepage names hormone replacement in its opening line, and bio-identical hormone replacement is one of the clinic's listed services. The rest of the list is long and includes IV therapy, chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, regenerative medicine, osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture and a detox boot camp. The weight loss page describes diet, exercise and a detox program, the Metagenics ClearChange program, often used at the start. That page does not name a prescription weight loss medication. The office is open Monday and Wednesday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, and closed Tuesday and on weekends. Google lists the clinic at 4.4 from 46 reviews, under the category Medical clinic.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, consultations, hormone therapy or any other service. It does not say whether a consultation fee applies, whether insurance is accepted, or whether a medication cost is included in any fee. Its online shop does list prices for supplements, such as DGL Plus at $78.50, GLP Fiber at $66.00 and GLP Amino Support at $69.00. Those are products you buy separately from any visit, and the shop offers a 5% saving on subscriptions.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask the cost of the first visit and of each follow-up, and whether any fee covers the medication. Ask which hormones the clinic uses, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether Dr. Auburn writes the hormone prescriptions herself and whether any other clinician is involved. Ask what lab work costs and how often it is required, and whether a visit can be done by telehealth. The clinic does not say.

Ask about insurance, and whether the clinic bills it at all. Then ask how cancellation works, including notice periods and any fees. If you are interested in prescription weight loss treatment, ask directly whether the clinic offers it, since the clinic does not describe one.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone replacement from a practice led by a D.O. with a natural and complementary approach, and you are willing to get the prices and prescribing details in writing before you pay anything. If you are looking for a prescription weight loss program with published pricing, call first and ask the questions above.
