About Lake Washington Internal Medicine

What is Lake Washington Internal Medicine?

Lake Washington Internal Medicine is a concierge internal medicine practice at 2265 116th Ave NE Suite 110-D in Bellevue, WA 98004. Dr. Mona Shawky, MD, is the physician who prescribes there. She is board-certified and has over 30 years in internal medicine. Its main focus is longevity and preventive medicine, and its own materials lead with heart and blood vessel testing.

The clinic lists seven services, including Anti-Aging & Longevity Medicine, Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED), and Chronic Disease Optimization. It names PCSK9 inhibitors as the one medication it coordinates with cardiologists when indicated. Concierge visits run 60 to 90 minutes, with a panel limited to 150-200 patients. In its own words, the goal is a physician who knows your complete medical history, genetic risks, and health priorities.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It gives no consultation fee or membership fee, and it does not say whether it takes insurance. Ask for the full fee schedule before you book at (206) 600-9034.

Testing is a large part of the offer, and none of it is priced. The longevity and executive programs name CIMT, CAC scoring, CCTA, DEXA scans, a Galleri blood test, and Whole-Body MRI, several of them marked optional. Ask the cost of each one and whether it is billed on top of the membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask who covers when Dr. Shawky is away and whether you will see her at each visit. Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication. If a PCSK9 inhibitor is recommended, ask whether it is brand-name or compounded, what it costs you, and whether it is billed separately. Ask too which supplements, such as the NAD+ precursors and CoQ10 the clinic mentions, the practice provides and what they cost.

Then ask about the rest of the bill. Find out the cost of follow-up visits and lab work, whether the practice takes insurance, and whether visits can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Ask for the office hours, which are not listed. Ask whether it offers hormone replacement therapy or medical weight loss, since the clinic does not say.

Finally, ask how a membership is cancelled and whether there is a notice period. The clinic cites reductions in heart attacks and strokes for its BaleDoneen Method, so ask for the published studies behind it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a long-term relationship with one physician in Bellevue, can pay the full cost yourself, and want heart, hormone, and genetic testing in one plan. It is a poor fit if you need a published price before you commit or only want a single test.
