About Optimize Wellness Clinic

What is Optimize Wellness Clinic?

Optimize Wellness Clinic is a cash-pay wellness clinic at 1618 North A Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas, 72901, just north of downtown. It is mainly a walk-in clinic for injections, IV drips and basic medical visits: MICC lipotropic injections, shoulder and knee injections, hydration and vitamin drips, physical exams and same-day sick visits. It also offers a Weight Management Program and a Peptide Therapy Program, along with a Primary Care Membership. In its own words: "Don't let pain hold you back. We're here to help."

The one prescriber named is Dr. Elizabeth Recupero, DO, MPH. The clinic does not say which of its programs she prescribes for. It is open Tuesday and Friday 8am to 4pm, Wednesday and Thursday 7am to 7pm, and Saturday 8am to noon, and it is closed Sunday and Monday. The phone number is 479.315.0055. It has a 4.7 rating on Google from 3 reviews.

What does it cost?

Single services have set prices. MICC lipotropic injections are $25 each, shoulder and knee injections are $50 each, and the Myers Cocktail is $150. The Primary Care Membership is $100 a month and includes one visit a month, labwork, one acute care visit a month and chronic disease management. Medications are the member's responsibility, with prescriptions sent to the pharmacy of choice. The Weight Management Program is also $100 a month, with weekly weigh-ins and a dietitian's nutrition plan. It does not say whether medication is included in that fee. The Peptide Therapy Program carries a $100 a month program fee, and additional costs may apply depending on the peptide and dose. Members get 10% off IV therapy on every visit. Memberships can be cancelled at any time, with no long-term contracts. The clinic takes no insurance. It does not publish prices for IV drips, physical exams, sick visits or the peptide consultation, which are listed as "call for pricing." It does not publish a consultation fee for either program.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for the weight and peptide programs, since the clinic names only Dr. Recupero and does not connect her to either one. Ask whether the $100 weight program fee includes tirzepatide, and what the medication costs if it does not. Ask whether tirzepatide and each peptide are brand-name or compounded. Peptides are sourced through a pharmacy contract and are not FDA-approved, so ask what that means for your formulation and what you will sign. Ask what labs and follow-up cost, since both programs require weekly in-person visits. Ask whether any visit can be done by telehealth, because the clinic does not say. Ask for the price of the IV drip or physical you are considering before you come in. Finally, ask how cancellation works for the membership you choose.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want walk-in, cash-pay injections, IV drips or a same-day visit in Fort Smith, and you can come in person every week if you join the weight or peptide program. It may not suit you if you need telehealth or want a single monthly price that includes your medication.
