About Aspire Functional Medicine

What is Aspire Functional Medicine?

Aspire Functional Medicine is a family medicine clinic in Mobile, Alabama. It also lists a Foley location, though it gives no address for that office. In its own words: "We are a Primary Care Clinic serving patients of all ages with an emphasis on health optimization and lifestyle medicine." Weight Loss/Optimization, BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and Functional Longevity Medicine are three of its services. The others are men's health, IV nutritional therapy, osteopathic manual therapies, infrared sauna, ozone therapy and onsite lab draws.

Luke Fondren, DO, and Kathryn Thompson, FNP, are listed for family medicine. Barry Gaston, CRNP, is listed for men's health, and Jan Wood, CRNP, for women's health. Vicky Armstrong, ANP, is a recent addition who will work closely with Dr. Fondren. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.4 rating from 9 reviews.

This listing is for its Mobile office at 7856 Westside Park Dr. Suite I.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, or whether HSA or financing is accepted. Its membership enrollment page lists a Basic Plan, a Core Plan, a Health Optimization Plan, a Hormone Plan, and a Founding Member option for the first 100 only. You send your contact details and choose a plan, and staff reach out to finish enrolling.

Membership carries a minimum commitment. In its own words: "Please note that previous emails stated 6 months minimum enrollment but moving forward it is 12 month minimum enrollment." No plan price is shown, and the page does not say whether medication is included. If you opt in to its text messages, the terms say you will receive recurring promotional texts, up to 4 messages per month.

What should you ask before you book?

Call 251.308.4990 and ask what each plan costs per month, and whether that fee covers the medication. The clinic names no drug for weight loss or hormone therapy. Ask which medication would be used, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and which of the listed prescribers would write it. Ask whether there is a consultation fee, whether any visit is billed to insurance, and whether telehealth is available, since none is mentioned. Lab draws are walk-in with LabCorp, Tuesday through Friday, 8am to 12pm, so ask what those draws and any follow-up labs cost. Finally, ask how cancellation works during the 12 month minimum and whether unused months are refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family medicine practice that also offers weight loss, hormone and longevity care, and you can commit to a 12 month minimum before you know the full cost. If you need published prices or insurance details before you call, you will have to get those answers by asking.
