About Advanced Health & Wellness Center

What is Advanced Health & Wellness Center?

Advanced Health & Wellness Center is a hormone therapy practice at 1815 Henson Avenue, Kalamazoo, MI 49048. The phone number is (269) 492-6506, and it has one location. It offers hormone therapy for women, hormone therapy for men, and nutraceuticals, which are supplements the clinic sells online with free shipping.

The main treatment is BioTE bioidentical hormone replacement therapy given as pellets. The pellets contain bioidentical testosterone or estrogen and are placed just beneath the skin in a nonsurgical insertion. The clinic describes itself as a certified BioTE provider. The prescribers listed are Mark Rummel, M.D., M.D., and Susie Bauman, R.N., N.P. The About page describes Mark Rummel's background as a board-certified vascular surgeon.

This listing is for its Kalamazoo office at 1815 Henson Avenue.

How does it run?

Each treatment is customized from extensive lab work and an office visit with a certified BioTE provider. The pellets release hormones over three to six months. Pellet therapy is paired with CORE+, a nutraceutical line that BioTE backs. The clinic has a Google rating of 5 from 8 reviews, and Google lists it as a wellness center. The listed hours are Thursday and Friday, 09:00 to 17:00. No other days are listed, so call to confirm.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether it accepts insurance. It also does not say whether a quoted price would include the pellets themselves. The one offer it does publish is a referral program. A patient who refers five friends gets their next pellet procedure free, and the referred friends must also receive the BioTE procedure to qualify.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the first visit costs, and whether the lab work and office visit are billed separately. Ask what the pellet insertion costs, whether that price includes the hormones, and how often you would return for a new insertion. Ask whether the pellets are BioTE pellets or compounded elsewhere, and which of the two prescribers would write your prescription. Ask what follow-up testing and CORE+ supplements cost. Ask whether any visits can be done by phone or video, since it does not publish that. Ask whether it bills your insurance or takes an HSA card, and what the cancellation terms are. Finally, confirm the hours, since only Thursday and Friday are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for hormone therapy given as pellets, you can pay out of pocket, and you live close enough to Kalamazoo to visit on a Thursday or Friday. If you are looking for weight loss medication, note that the clinic does not list that service.
