About Physician Coach

What is Physician Coach?

Physician Coach is a sports medicine and fitness practice at 1120 MLK Jr. Way in Tacoma, Washington, reachable at (253) 220-7583. Most of what it does is sports medicine: diagnostic ultrasound for injuries, ultrasound-guided procedures such as PRP, dry needling and cupping, VO2 max and lactate testing, orthopedic physical therapy rehabilitation, vitamin and nutrient shots, and 1:1 coaching and programming. Weight loss and peptide therapy is one of its eight listed services, and the clinic does not describe that program in any detail. In its own words: "Our team combines physician-led care with functional fitness, rehabilitation, and longevity-focused medicine to help you move better, feel stronger, and perform at your best."

Its prescribers are Dr. Audrey Falconi, DO, RMSK, and Dr. Ayla Hopkins, ND, who is also a co-founder. Google lists the business as a weight loss service, with a rating of 5 from 54 reviews.

This listing is for its Tacoma office at 1120 M.L.K. Jr Way.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or peptide therapy, and it does not give a consultation fee. It also does not say whether any price includes medication, whether it takes insurance, or whether it offers telehealth. The prices it does publish are for fitness classes, not medical care: unlimited classes for $160 a month, three classes a week for $130 a month, one class a week for $100 a month, and a $20 drop-in. A 10-session starter program for people new to functional fitness is $300. It does not publish a price for its vitamin shots either, so ask for the full cost of any medical program before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who would write the prescription. The clinic lists two prescribers, so ask which one would handle a weight loss or peptide prescription and whether that person is licensed to prescribe in Washington. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication or whether it is billed separately. The clinic's supplement marketing names Ozempic, Tirzepatide and CJC/Ipamorelin, but it does not say which of these, if any, are part of its weight loss or peptide program. Ask which medication you would be offered and whether it is brand-name or compounded.

Then ask what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether insurance or a health savings account can be used. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership or minimum commitment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want sports medicine, injury care and fitness coaching under one roof, and you are also looking at weight loss or peptide care from a physician-led team. It is a weaker match if you need published prices and set terms before you call.
