What is AKTW?
AKTW is a practice at 3894 E Pima St Suite A in Tucson, Arizona 85716. It names two prescribers, both nurse practitioners: Kirk Tjalas, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, and Titus Tjälas, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. The clinic calls its work performance medicine, and Google lists it as a medical spa. Its main services are medical weight loss and hormone therapy, with mental health care for anxiety, depression and ADHD. In its own words: "We don’t treat you like a number on a chart. We treat you like someone who’s not done yet."
Weight loss medicines named on the site include semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine, phendimetrazine and metformin. Hormone services include hormone testing, HRT/TRT and ongoing monitoring. The shop menu also lists a sermorelin peptide product and NAD+ patches. No longevity or anti-aging program is named. Telehealth hormone consultations are offered, and the clinic serves all 50 states. The office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm, and closed on weekends. The main line is 520-777-6718. Google shows a rating of 5 from 7 reviews.
What does it cost?
The one program price is $599 for 12 weeks, shown as a starting price under tirzepatide. The clinic does not say whether the medication is included. Single items are listed with prices, such as semaglutide initial dose at $250 and tirzepatide at $385, and a first month special price of 300.00 appears without a program name or unit. It does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which of the two named nurse practitioners will write your prescription and see you at follow-up, since the clinic spells Titus's surname two ways. Ask whether the $599 for 12 weeks includes the medication, and what you will pay after that.
Ask whether the tirzepatide is compounded, as the clinic describes it, and whether the semaglutide is too. The clinic's legal notice says compounded medications have not had FDA review for safety, efficacy or quality, so ask which pharmacy fills them and whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. Ask what follow-up visits, labs and monitoring cost, since these are offered but not priced. Ask whether there is a consultation fee, whether the plan renews on its own, and how to cancel. The pricing page carries placeholder text under its tirzepatide price, so ask for the terms in writing. Finally, ask whether it takes insurance and whether HSA funds can be used.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss or hormone care from one of the two named nurse practitioners and you are ready to get the medication, price and cancellation terms in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price list, an insurance answer or a named longevity program, since none of those is given.
