About Privvy Modern Health

What is Privvy Modern Health?

Privvy Modern Health is a wellness and aesthetics practice in Chico, California, founded by Dr. Nerissa Prieto. Dr. Prieto is a board-certified anesthesiologist with Stanford ICU fellowship training and more than 18 years caring for the Chico community. Most of its services are IV therapies, infusion therapies, vitamin injections, and NAD+ IV therapies, plus aesthetic treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, CO2 laser skin resurfacing, IPL, Laser Genesis, and RF microneedling. It also sells skin care products.

Medical weight loss is one of its services. The program uses semaglutide and tirzepatide along with oral medications the clinic does not name. Patients visit weekly for an injection, and the program adds counseling, movement coaching, pantry and recipe help, and lab work. It does not state a hormone therapy service. Both of its offices are in Chico, and it lists Colusa, Willows, Oroville, Yuba City and several other towns among the places it serves.

This listing is for its Chico office at 1950 E. 20th St., Unit E523.

What does it cost?

It does not publish weight loss prices. It does not state a consultation fee, whether the monthly cost includes medication, whether insurance is accepted, or what membership and cancellation terms apply. The only prices it publishes are $99.00 for each of five skin care products, which have nothing to do with weight loss. It lists financing through Cherry, Care Credit, Allē Pay and Aspire, but does not say which of these, if any, applies to medical weight loss.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription. The medical weight loss information does not name the prescriber, so ask which physician prescribes the medication and whether you will see that person at each visit. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication and the weekly injection visits, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the blood work, body composition check, and follow-up visits cost, and whether the IV add-ons paired with semaglutide are part of the program price or billed on top. Ask whether any follow-up can be done by video, and how to cancel or pause, including notice periods and fees. Ask which office your weight loss visits happen at, since that is not stated.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person, physician-guided weight loss at a practice that also offers IV and aesthetic care, and you can get the full price in writing before your first visit. The program describes its typical candidates as people with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 to 29.9 with a condition such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. If you need a published price before you call, ask first.
