What is Essenza Mind & Body Longevity Clinic?
Essenza Mind & Body Longevity Clinic, also called Essenza Wellness, is a concierge longevity medicine practice at 8950 Villa La Jolla Drive, Building C, Suite 212, in La Jolla, California. Its main work is longevity and internal medicine. Under one membership it also offers advanced biomarker testing, women's health, neurology, and psychiatry.
Four physicians are named as prescribers: Dr. Aboo Nasar, Dr. Peyman Tashkandi, Dr. Maya Vaysbrot, DO, and Dr. Kimberly Washkowiak. Dr. Washkowiak is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with 25 years of experience. The clinic names Spravato and ketamine in its psychiatry care and offers FDA-cleared TMS. Telemedicine and virtual visits are part of its care model when clinically appropriate. It serves patients across La Jolla, San Diego, and throughout Southern California. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at 858-267-4872. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 3 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. No membership fee, consultation fee, or medication price appears anywhere. Membership is a single annual fee, billed annually. In its own words: "Membership pricing is shared during your initial inquiry." The clinic does not say whether medication is included in membership, and it does not mention HSA or financing. Cancellation terms are in the patient agreement, so ask to see that agreement before you pay.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who signs the prescription for Spravato, ketamine, or any other medicine, and whether that doctor is the one you will see. Ask whether the annual membership covers medication, lab work, and follow-up visits, or whether those are billed separately. The first visit is listed at 45 to 60 minutes, so ask the consultation fee and whether the initial lab work costs extra. Ask whether each medication is brand-name or compounded, because the clinic does not say.
Insurance needs a direct answer. In its own words: "Out-of-network, with insurance benefits billed on your behalf." The clinic also lists Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and CHAMPVA as in-network carriers. Ask which arrangement applies to your plan, and whether any plan beyond those four is accepted. Ask which doctor holds which board certification, since the clinic describes its physicians as a group. No credentials are stated for Dr. Nasar or Dr. Tashkandi.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want one annual membership covering longevity medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and women's health, you can pay for care your insurance may not cover, and you will get the price and cancellation terms in writing before you commit. If you need a published price or a clear answer about your insurance, call 858-267-4872 first.
