About Covalent Health Wellness & Aesthetics

What is Covalent Health Wellness & Aesthetics?

Covalent Health Wellness & Aesthetics is a medical practice at 9835 SW 72nd St, Ste 208, in Miami. It brings direct primary care, functional medicine, wellness services and aesthetics into one office. Primary care and functional medicine are led by Gabriel Suarez, MD, MBA, a board-certified family medicine physician and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Provider (IFMCP). Natalie Suarez, PA-C, a board-certified physician assistant, handles the aesthetic side, which includes Dysport, Daxxify, laser and IPL treatments, microneedling, PRP and peels.

For hormones, peptides and weight, it lists hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy and medical weight loss. Hormone care is described as "individualized hormone treatments with options for natural support of supplement protocols, peptide therapy, or bio identical HRT". In its own words, "we incorporate peptide therapy into personalized Functional Medicine protocols". Medical weight loss appears on its menu, but no weight loss medication is named. Other services include stem cell therapy, red light therapy, IV vitamin therapy, and gut health and detox packages. Direct primary care patients can get same-day or telemedicine appointments.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, peptides or medical weight loss, and no consultation fee is listed. Its direct primary care model is described as care without the limitations of insurance, but it doesn't say how hormone, peptide or weight loss care is paid for, or whether you need to be a primary care member to get it. Ask for the price of the specific program you want and what it includes.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who would prescribe your hormone therapy or peptides, Dr. Suarez or the physician assistant. Ask which medications the weight loss program uses, whether they're brand-name or compounded, and what the monthly cost is with medication included. For hormone therapy, ask what form it comes in, which labs you'll need first and how often they're repeated. Ask whether you need to join the direct primary care practice to get these treatments, and what that costs. Ask about office hours, since none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you're in the Miami area and want hormone or peptide care inside a functional medicine and primary care practice, with aesthetics in the same office. It suits you less if you want a dedicated weight loss clinic with published prices and named medications.
