What is Opal Aesthetics?
Opal Aesthetics is a medical spa at 8501 Brimhall Rd, Building 100, Suite 102, in Bakersfield, California. Most of its listed treatments are cosmetic, from Botox and dermal fillers to laser work. Medical weight loss and hormone therapy are two of its services, not the whole practice. The clinic's founder and physician is Dr. Ariana Stenderup, MD. She is the only prescriber listed, and she is a board-certified physician.
The weight loss program opens with a 45-minute consultation with Dr. Stenderup. It pairs diet and exercise counseling with weight loss injectables for patients who are suitable. The program names semaglutide and tirzepatide, the active ingredients in Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. The hormone program includes testosterone replacement therapy for men. Its Google rating is 4.9 from more than 110 reviews. It is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and closed on weekends. The phone number is 661-331-9244.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss, testosterone therapy or hormone therapy, and it does not state a consultation fee. For the semaglutide and tirzepatide program, the monthly price includes the medication and follow-up visits. It gives no dollar figure, so get that amount in writing.
Payment runs through HSA or FSA cards for eligible treatments, or through monthly plans via Cherry and CareCredit. The clinic also offers package pricing on several treatments. It does not mention billing insurance, so plan on paying out of pocket.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the prescription. Ask whether Dr. Stenderup personally writes it and sees you at follow-up, since she plans every treatment. Ask whether the medication is brand name or compounded. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound are named, but it does not say which product it dispenses. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, visits and labs, and what the labs cost, since none are priced.
Then ask about the plan itself. Find out how often you would be seen, because two different follow-up intervals are given. Ask whether the 45-minute consultation is charged, how cancellation works, whether there is a minimum term, and whether any visits happen by video. Telehealth is not mentioned.
In its own words: "Semaglutide is not right for everyone." Ask what your health history would need to show, and what the clinic does if it is not a fit for you.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician to plan and adjust a weight loss or testosterone program, and you can pay out of pocket by card or monthly plan. If you need a firm price to compare, get written quotes from Opal and at least one other clinic before you commit.
