About Rescue Me Wellness

What is Rescue Me Wellness?

Rescue Me Wellness is a locally owned wellness clinic in Tucson, Arizona. It offers six services: concierge urgent care and wellness visits, IV hydration and vitamin therapy, medically guided weight loss, functional and integrative nutrition programs, medical aesthetics and beauty services, and first responder community services. Weight loss is one of those six rather than the whole practice, though Google lists the business under weight loss services with a 4.8 rating from 143 reviews. No street address is published, only the city. The phone number is (520) 433-8000.

The clinic is owned by Lisa Ritter, who also works there as a practicing physician assistant. The people listed as prescribers are Lisa Ritter, Dr. Tammy Kastre, MD, who serves as chief medical officer and is an emergency medicine specialist, Laura Thompson, a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), and Ashley Tsonetokoy, MSN, AGNP. The semaglutide and tirzepatide program includes a scan on a Fit3D machine and an assessment, weight loss medication, a weight loss specific meal plan, and monthly consultations with a Nurse Practitioner and a Medical Nutritionist. Extra nutrition coaching is available, and virtual health coaching runs once or twice a week. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, with no weekend hours given. For first responders, it offers telehealth connections to staff with field trauma, substance abuse, and depression experience.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no monthly figure, and no statement on whether a program fee includes the medication. It does not say whether insurance is accepted. The weight loss section does make a claim about cost. In its own words: "The BEST and most affordable Semaglutide and Tirzepatide weight loss programs in Tucson." Without a posted price, that claim cannot be checked before you call.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for the semaglutide or tirzepatide, and which nurse practitioner handles your monthly consultations, since no one is named for that role. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the Fit3D scan, the functional lab panel, and follow-up visits cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether the MIC Fat Burner injections are part of a program or an extra charge. Ask how a monthly program is canceled and whether it has a minimum term. Finally, ask whether insurance is accepted and whether HSA or financing works.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Tucson, want weight loss care alongside everyday medical visits or first responder services, can keep to weekday daytime appointments, and are ready to pay cash once you have a full price in writing. If you need evening or weekend visits, or a fixed monthly figure before you book, get those answers first.
