What is Expect Wellness?
Expect Wellness is a physician practice at 130 Suber Rd. Suite D in Columbia, South Carolina. Rachel E. Hall, MD, is the only prescriber named. The practice describes her as a "Board Certified Integrative/Holistic Medicine & Family Medicine Physician."
Hormone care is the main work. The practice lists Hormone Replacement, Menopause and Male Low Testosterone as services, and in its own words: "Columbia’s Only Bioidentical Hormone Expert." The medications it names are testosterone, estrogen/estradiol and progesterone. Other services include Functional Medicine, Health Coaching, Weight Loss, IV Therapy, Chelation Therapy and Essential Oils. The weight loss description covers diet and exercise and names no medication. Google shows a 3.7 rating from 30 reviews. No hours are given, and telehealth is not mentioned.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a consultation has a fee, whether medication is included in any charge, or whether there is a membership. Call 803-796-1702 and ask about all of these before you commit to anything.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who signs the prescription. Ask whether Dr. Hall writes every hormone prescription herself and who manages changes between visits. Ask whether the testosterone, estradiol or progesterone is included in any fee or billed separately. Ask whether the hormones are brand-name, FDA-approved products or compounded. The practice says its BHRT is typically compounded by licensed pharmacies based on individual lab results and symptoms, so ask which pharmacy fills them.
Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost and how often they are needed. For IV Therapy, Chelation Therapy and Essential Oils, ask the price and who orders each one. If you are considering weight loss, ask whether any medication is part of that program. Finally, ask how cancellation works, whether a contract applies, and whether telehealth or insurance is accepted.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you have already decided you want hormone care and you will pay cash for visits, labs and medication. If you want a weight loss program that includes a prescription, or you want to see a clinician other than Dr. Hall, call first and get the answers above before you book.
