What is The Lapidus Clinic and Med Spa?
The Lapidus Clinic and Med Spa is a concierge medicine practice with a med spa, at 6685 Bay Laurel Place, Building 1, in Avila Beach, California. It serves patients in Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo. Yelena Lapidus, MD, is the physician, and Rita Morris, RN, works as the aesthetic RN. Its main work is the Hormonal Health and Wellness Program, a membership built around bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). The program is described as supervised by a board certified physician with 30 years of medical experience practicing functional medicine.
One of the BHRT options is pellets from Pellecome. In its own words: "Pellets are administered in our office periodically and hormone levels monitored." Weight management with GLP-1 agonist support is also listed as a membership benefit. The med spa side offers injectables, microneedling, laser treatments and dermal fillers. Its hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 5:30, with Saturdays by appointment and Sundays closed. Google lists it as a medical spa with a 4.4 rating from 14 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a membership fee. The membership is called a monthly program. In its own words: "The Hormonal Health and Wellness Membership Program goes beyond the scope of normal and customary care covered by insurance." It does not say whether insurance is accepted for visits, or whether the membership fee includes medication.
Lab work is handled differently. Most lab and diagnostic testing is billed to insurance by the laboratory or imaging site. Some tests that insurance does not cover, Medicare included, are billed to the patient separately at special negotiated cash pricing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask what the monthly program costs, and whether that fee includes the pellets, other medication and lab work. Ask whether the hormone medication is manufactured or compounded. No weight loss prescriber is named, so ask who would prescribe a GLP-1 agonist and who would monitor you on it. Ask who the supervising physician is and how often you would see them. Ask what each pellet visit and follow-up costs, whether telehealth visits are offered, and how to cancel, including whether there is a cancellation fee.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want physician-supervised hormone therapy with in-office pellet visits and you are ready to ask about the membership cost before you book. It also makes sense for someone who wants med spa treatments alongside hormone care in Avila Beach.
