What is SG Essentials?
SG Essentials has offices in Watertown and Pierre, and it has operated since 2012. Most of its treatments are for skin and body, but it also offers Hormone and Men services. The hormone service is the one this listing covers. It uses BioTE bioidentical hormone pellets, placed just under the skin, and names testosterone and estradiol as the two hormones it uses.
Before a pellet visit, the practice runs blood work in house and uses the results to decide how many pellets to place. The insertion takes about 20 minutes under local numbing, through an incision no bigger than a grain of rice. Melissa Magstadt is listed as CEO and founder. The team page describes its staff as licensed practitioners and lists Courtney Linke as a provider, but it does not say who prescribes the hormones.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It does not say whether the pellets are included in any price, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. Payment is due in full at the end of the appointment, and it has no payment plans. In its own words: "Currently, we do not have any payment plans." Cancellations need to come at least 24 hours in advance.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who writes the prescription and who reviews the blood work. Then ask whether the quoted price includes the hormones or whether medication is billed separately. The FAQ describes its bio-identical hormones as professionally compounded, so ask which pharmacy supplies them.
Ask what the blood work, follow-up visits and repeat pellet placements cost, and how often pellets need replacing. Confirm whether any part of care can be done by telehealth, since it does not say. Ask whether it accepts insurance or HSA cards, and confirm the 24-hour cancellation window before you pay anything.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want in-person hormone pellet therapy, you can pay in full at the visit, and you want the prescriber's name and the full cost in writing before you book. If you mainly want skin or body treatments, most of its services are in those areas, so ask about the one you need.
