About Peninsula Longevity

What is Peninsula Longevity?

Peninsula Longevity is a physician-led practice at 29000 S Western Ave, Suite 202, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275. The phone number is (424) 241-3008. Dr. Placik, MD, is the one prescriber the practice names. The practice describes its focus as lifestyle and longevity medicine, aimed at preventing chronic disease and supporting long-term health through nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress resilience, and behavior change.

Its listed services are an annual preventive and longevity evaluation, lab and biomarker review, a personalized nutrition, exercise, sleep, and metabolic health plan, ongoing physician guidance through the year, and coordination of imaging, specialists, and additional testing. Its own service pages do not list weight loss or hormone therapy as a separate service. Medications such as Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy, and semaglutide come up in the practice's blog, which Dr. Placik writes. The one Google review gives the practice a 5 rating.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a visit fee, or a membership fee. It does not say whether any medication is included in a program, and it gives no insurance information. The homepage offers a free intro call and says the practice keeps a limited number of patients. In its own words: "To ensure thoughtful, personalized care, the practice intentionally maintains a limited number of patients." Ask for the full fee schedule before you commit to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs any prescription, and whether Dr. Placik, MD, writes it personally. Ask whether a medication is part of the annual evaluation or the monthly plan, and what it costs on top of that. If a GLP-1 medication is offered, ask whether it is the brand-name product or a compounded version. The blog names brand products, but it does not say where a patient would fill them.

The blog also covers retatrutide, which the author calls investigational and not FDA-approved. Ask whether the practice prescribes it at all. Ask what lab work, imaging, and specialist visits cost, and whether those are billed separately. Ask whether follow-up is in person or by video, and how often you would be seen. Ask whether supplements are recommended and whether they cost extra. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a contract.

Who is it a good fit for?

This may be a good fit if you feel well, want a more regular relationship with a physician than an annual physical gives you, and are ready to pay out of pocket for longer visits and a written plan. It is a harder fit if you need a medication with a fixed monthly price, since the practice does not publish one.
