About Alma Vida

What is Alma Vida?

Alma Vida is a natural health practice at 4868 Sparks Blvd, Suite 100, in Sparks, Nevada. Its phone number is (775) 683-3833. It describes its approach as functional medicine and serves the Reno/Sparks area. Dr. Sonia Rich-Mazzeo, DNP, APRN, is the only prescriber named, and no other prescriber is named. Its in-person hours are Monday through Friday, noon to 5 pm, and its virtual hours are 9 am to 5 pm.

The practice offers five services: Detoxification, Nutrition, Physical Fitness, Hormones, and Health Coaching. Hormones is the service that describes treatment with medication. Care starts with testing for hormone deficiencies or imbalances, and therapy can be given as injections, pills, patches, or creams. Visits can be in person or fully online. Staff speaks English and Spanish. On Google, the practice has a 4.3 rating from 34 reviews and is listed under Nurse practitioner.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or any other service. The first step is a free 15 minute introductory call. It does not say whether the first visit carries a fee.

It accepts cash pay only. In its own words: "The short answer is no. But not because we do not want to."

Its wellness evaluation may lead to initial diagnostic testing, and it does not say what that testing costs. It also does not say whether a hormone therapy price includes the medication, whether it accepts HSA or financing, or how memberships and cancellation work.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who evaluates you and who signs the hormone prescription, and whether Dr. Rich-Mazzeo does both. Ask whether the first visit has a fee and what the free introductory call covers.

Ask which hormones are used, whether the medication is brand name or compounded, and whether its cost is included in the price you pay. Ask what blood tests, follow-up visits, and lab work cost, and how often you would need them.

Ask how cancellation works and whether you can pause care. If you prefer online visits, ask whether hormone care can be done fully online or requires the weekday in-person hours.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want cash-pay care that pairs hormone testing and treatment with nutrition, fitness, and coaching, and you can pay without insurance. The practice says, "We accept new practice members on a case-by-case basis," so expect to be screened before you are accepted. If you need a published price before you call, you will have to ask for one.
