About Yellowhammer Weight Loss and Wellness

What is Yellowhammer Weight Loss and Wellness?

Yellowhammer Weight Loss and Wellness is a clinic at 44878 Hwy 17 in Vernon, Alabama 35592. The phone number is (205) 712-4944. Its main work is medically supervised weight loss and hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), with online urgent care running alongside. The clinic also lists vitamins and supplements, IV hydration therapy, and in-house lab services. Its home page adds wellness injections and medical foot care.

The prescribers are nurse practitioners Jason Patterson (MSN, CRNP, AGPCNP-C, CRC) and Ashley Sudduth (DNP, NP-C). The two of them established the clinic in December of 2024. Amber Eads joined soon after as a clinical assistant with phlebotomy experience. She does not prescribe, and no credential is listed for her.

Telehealth is open to anyone in Alabama, and most follow-up visits can be done that way. The Vernon office is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 5 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm, and walk-ins are welcome. Online urgent care runs 24/7/365 for Alabama residents of all ages, for minor conditions only. On Google the clinic is rated 5 from 43 reviews and is listed as a weight loss service. In its own words: "Take control of your health with our personalized, medically supervised weight loss program."

This listing is for its Vernon office at 44878 Hwy 17.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It also does not give a consultation fee, say whether medication is included in any program, or say whether it accepts insurance. It mentions weight loss bundles and BHRT memberships that save money, but it does not list what either one costs. Its urgent care is described as transparent in price, yet no figures appear. Get the numbers in writing before you book, or ask when you call (205) 712-4944.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who would write your prescription, and whether Jason Patterson or Ashley Sudduth would be your prescriber for the weight loss program and for hormone therapy. Ask how often you would see them.

Ask whether the monthly weight loss fee includes medication. No weight loss or hormone medication is named, so ask which drug it is, what it costs each month, and whether it is a name brand or compounded product.

Ask what "certified by EliteNP" means for the weight loss program. The phrase is never explained.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. The clinic offers in-house labs but does not price them, and it does not say which labs are required.

If you join a BHRT membership or a weight loss bundle, ask what each costs, what it includes, and how to cancel. Ask whether your insurance is accepted at all. For urgent care, ask which pharmacy your prescription goes to and what a visit costs.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Alabama, want telehealth follow-up with the option of an in-person visit in Vernon, and are ready to get prices and medication details in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or a named medication list before you commit.
