Functional Wellness

About Functional Wellness

What is Functional Wellness?

Functional Wellness is a menopause and midlife practice. Michele Adams, FNP-BC, MSCP, is the only prescriber named, and the clinic describes her as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Most of the work is perimenopause and menopause care, with hormone therapy as the main treatment offered. Measured against the usual cash-pay menu of hormone therapy, weight loss, peptides and longevity, it covers hormone therapy and longevity. Its metabolic and weight support is built on nutrition, lifestyle and muscle-preservation work, and no weight-loss medication is named. Peptide therapy is not listed.

In-person appointments take place in Williamsville and East Amherst, and the clinic describes itself as based in Buffalo. Telehealth visits are offered across New York State and in Montana. Office hours are listed as by appointment only. It has a Google rating of 5 from 6 reviews, and its Google category is women's health clinic. It does not say how long it has been open. In its own words: "This isn't rushed, checkbox medicine."

This listing is for its Williamsville office at 5505 Main St Suite D.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, consultation fees or membership terms. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether medication is included in any fee, or how cancellation works. The first visit is an initial midlife and menopause evaluation of about 60 minutes, but no fee is given for it. Before booking, ask what that first visit costs, what a follow-up visit costs, and what any lab work adds on top.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with where you would be seen. The clinic lists offices in both Williamsville and East Amherst, so ask which one your visits would be at, or whether they would be by video. Confirm which number reaches the office, since its materials give both (716) 308-6938 and (716) 221-0015.

Next, ask about the medication itself. The clinic's material names estrogen in oral, transdermal, compounded and injected forms, progesterone in oral or compounded forms, and testosterone when clinically appropriate. Ask which of these you would be prescribed, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether any price includes it. Ask who signs the prescription and who handles refills and follow-up. Michele Adams is the only prescriber named, so ask whether she manages your care herself.

Finally, ask about the money and the exit. Ask whether any insurance is billed, what follow-up visits and lab tests cost, and how cancellation and refunds work. If you live outside New York and Montana, ask whether telehealth is open to you. If you came for a weight-loss medication or peptides, ask directly, because neither is named.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are in perimenopause or menopause, want hormone therapy as one part of a broader plan, and are ready to pay cash for a visit whose price you still need to confirm. If you are looking for peptide therapy or a named weight-loss medication, the clinic's own materials do not show either.
