About Spring Valley Family Care

What is Spring Valley Family Care?

Spring Valley Family Care is a holistic and functional medicine practice at 8685 Cumberland Road. It does not publish a town, state or ZIP code with that street address, so ask for the full location before you book. Its prescriber is Marcia Jones, FNP, IFMCP, a nurse practitioner with over 3 decades of experience in healthcare.

It offers three services: Brain Health & Mental Wellness, Childhood Behavioral Challenges and Hormone Management. Hormone Management covers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for both men and women. The practice uses lab testing to build a customized plan, and it names genetic testing and neurotransmitter evaluations among its methods. Its condition list runs from anxiety and depression to ADHD, menopause and metabolic disorders, but weight loss is not one of its named services. It does not name the hormone medications it uses. Google shows it with a 3.5 rating from 8 reviews, under the category holistic medicine practitioner.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee. Insurance does not cover its functional medicine services. It accepts HSA accounts for those services, and financing options are available.

Visits are long. In its own words: "These appointments can be up to an hour, are very in depth, including health coaching and lifestyle support."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each hormone prescription, and whether Marcia Jones, FNP, IFMCP is the prescriber on every plan. Ask whether the medication is included in any monthly or program fee, and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since neither is stated. Ask what the lab tests, follow-up visits and hormone medication cost, and how often each one is needed.

Ask how you cancel and whether any payment is refundable, because it does not say. Ask for the town and ZIP code for 8685 Cumberland Road and for its office hours, which are not clear.

Its virtual care is offered to women in Virginia and West Virginia, but its hormone service covers men too. Ask whether men can be seen virtually.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman in Virginia or West Virginia who wants virtual visits, can pay out of pocket through an HSA or financing, and is comfortable starting before you know the full cost. If you are a man, call first to ask whether virtual visits are open to you.
