About Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity

What is Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity?

Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity is a concierge medical practice built around detailed testing. Dr. Florence Comite founded it in 2005 in New York City, and it now has locations in Palo Alto and Miami Beach. It calls its approach Nof 1™, treating each client as the sole subject of a clinical trial. It does not publish a street address, phone number or hours. It has a Google rating of 5 from 1 review.

Its prescribers are Dr. Florence Comite and the physician associates Vanessa Arcuri, Lauren Klein, Pamela Ruiz, Mary Russo, PA-C, and Jonica Kao, PA-C. Most of the work is testing: hormone panels covering testosterone, estradiol and progesterone, thyroid hormones and cortisol, plus blood sugar, lipid, nutrient, brain health and telomere tests. It prescribes a continuous glucose monitor, recommends its own brand of supplements, and reviews results on a telehealth call. In-person assessments take place at its Center. It does not name the medications or hormone therapy it prescribes. In its own words: "It begins with a conversation to understand you, your health story, including your personal health, family health history, and lifestyle, as well as your challenges and aspirations."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It calls itself a concierge medical practice, so ask what membership costs and how it is billed. It does not say whether it bills insurance, whether any fee covers medication, or whether it accepts HSA funds or offers financing. It does not publish cancellation terms either.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescriptions, and whether Dr. Comite reviews the ones the physician associates write. Ask whether any membership or program fee covers the medication, the supplements and the glucose monitor. Ask which hormone therapy it prescribes and whether it is a brand-name drug or a compounded one.

Ask what the testing panels cost, and whether repeat labs and follow-up telehealth calls are billed separately. Ask whether it bills insurance, how cancellation works, and what happens to testing you have already paid for. Since the practice has more than one location, ask which one your in-person assessment would be at.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a long process of testing and planning with Dr. Comite as the physician behind it, and you are ready to ask for prices and terms before you book. If you need a published price first, it is worth calling before anything else.
