About Seaside Wellness of Shallotte

What is Seaside Wellness of Shallotte?

Seaside Wellness of Shallotte is a family medicine practice at 4503 Main Street, Unit 1, in Shallotte, North Carolina. It sees patients aged three and up and works on a Patient Centered Medical Home model, with primary care at the center. Family nurse practitioner Deborah C. Varnam leads the practice. Family nurse practitioner Rebecca Todd is also a prescriber there.

Hormone optimization is one of many services, and it is the focus of this listing. The clinic offers pellet BHRT and says its hormone providers were trained in the EvexiPEL method. It also says it may use creams, patches, injections or pills when those are appropriate and wanted. In its own words: "We avoid synthetic hormones in treatment and prefer a more natural approach." The rest of the practice reads like a primary care office. It offers well child and sports physicals, blood pressure and cholesterol screening, care for diabetes, obesity and hypothyroidism, Medication Assisted Treatment for substance use (including injectable Vivitrol® for opiate and alcohol addiction), IV osteoporosis treatment and iron infusion, wound care, mammograms and bone density exams. Hours are Monday and Thursday 7:45am to 5:00pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 7:45am to 5:30pm, and Friday 7:45am to 12:00pm. The main line is (910) 754-2273, and the after-hours line is 910-473-2270. The practice has a 4.7 rating from 50 Google reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. It does note that many preventive tests are fully covered by insurance, so ask which of your visits and tests your plan would cover before you book. The clinic does not describe membership terms, cancellation rules or telehealth. To get started, call (910) 754-2273 to schedule a consultation.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber, Deborah C. Varnam or Rebecca Todd, would write your hormone prescription, and who follows your care afterward. Ask what the hormone fee covers, including the pellets, visits and lab work. Ask whether the pellets are brand-name or compounded, how often they are replaced and what each replacement costs. Ask what monitoring labs cost and whether they are billed to insurance. If Vivitrol is part of your question, ask the injection price and whether insurance is billed. Ask whether any visit can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not describe it. Finally, ask how to cancel or pause care and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care and hormone therapy under one roof in Shallotte, and you are willing to get prices and medication costs in writing before you commit. It is a weaker match if you are looking mainly for a dedicated weight loss program, peptide therapy or telehealth, since the clinic does not describe any of those.
