What is Advanced Wellness MD?
Advanced Wellness MD is a concierge primary care practice at 9685 Lake Nona Village Place, Suite 201, Orlando, FL 32827. The phone number is (407) 753-2217. Its main business is primary care on a membership basis, with a dedicated doctor and care team, and its other services build on that.
Dr. Allison Barnes, MD, MPH, is the medical director and a prescriber. Carla Chromik, APRN, is also listed as a prescriber, and Juliana is listed as one with no credential stated. Dr. Barnes has over 14 years of experience in preventative, family medicine and concierge services.
Of the four areas, the practice lists an Ongoing Weight Loss Plan, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement and Longevity Medicine. It does not list peptide therapy. It also offers Advanced Testing, including genetic, telomere and hormone testing. Telehealth is part of the membership, with Unlimited Virtual Visits, and phone appointments are available when you are traveling. Hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. It names Lake Nona, Lake Heart, East Park and Eagle Creek as areas it serves. It has a Google rating of 5 from 58 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. The first step is listed as "Book Complimentary Consultation," so no fee is stated for that visit. For the physical and the membership, it is clear about who pays. In its own words: "The physical and monthly membership is an out of pocket cost as we are not considered an in-network physician." Lab work done in the office through Quest can be run through your health insurance. The membership is described as "No Contract Involved," but the monthly fee is not stated, and the practice does not say whether the membership covers medication. It does not mention HSA or financing options. Ask for the fee, the medication terms and the financing options before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for any hormone or weight loss medication, and whether that will be Dr. Barnes, Carla Chromik or someone else. Ask whether the monthly membership includes medication or whether it is billed on top. The practice does not name the medications it uses for weight loss or hormone therapy, so ask which ones they are and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost beyond the membership, and whether in-office Quest labs will be billed to your insurance. Ask whether peptide therapy is offered, since it is not listed. Ask how to end the membership, because "No Contract Involved" does not explain cancellation or refunds.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a membership doctor you can reach by phone or video, you are prepared to pay out of pocket for care your insurance does not cover, and you plan to keep your insurance for prescriptions and specialists. If you need the medications named and priced before you book, get those answers first.
