Balance of Life Clinic

About Balance of Life Clinic

What is Balance of Life Clinic?

Balance of Life Clinic is an alternative and integrative medicine practice with offices in Medina and Fredericksburg. It says it serves patients throughout northeast Ohio. Google lists it as a wellness center with a rating of 5 from 8 reviews. Its named physician is Clifford Sonnie, M.D., who has written several of its blog posts. The clinic does not name a provider for its hormone services, so ask who writes those prescriptions.

The clinic lists seven services: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV therapy, Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET), photoluminescence, and toxic metal testing. Hormone therapy is one of seven, not the whole practice. In its own words: "we provide bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women and men as an alternative to traditional HRT." It does not list a GLP-1 medication or a medical weight loss program.

This listing is for its Medina office at 3985 Medina Rd Ste 250.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It also does not say whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or whether telehealth visits are offered. Ask about each of these before you book, and ask for the answers in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who prescribes. Ask which provider writes hormone prescriptions, whether that person is a physician, and whether the same person handles the other services.

Next, ask whether the hormone medication is part of a monthly or program fee or billed separately. Ask whether the hormones are commercially manufactured or compounded by a pharmacy. The clinic calls its products bioidentical but does not say how they are made.

Ask what the first exam, follow-up visits, and lab work cost, and how often each is needed. Ask how to cancel a treatment plan or membership and whether any fee applies.

Finally, ask which office you would be visiting. The Fredericksburg office has a listed phone number but no street address, so get the address before you plan a trip.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for hormone therapy or one of the other listed services, you can reach the Medina or Fredericksburg office, and you are willing to get prices, prescriber details, and cancellation terms in writing before you pay. If you are looking for a medical weight loss program with published pricing, this clinic does not publish one and lists no GLP-1 service.
