About u-wellness

What is u-wellness?

u-wellness describes itself as physician-led whole-person wellness. Its menu leads with mobile IV care, and medical weight loss is one of six services, along with vitamin shots, supplements, lab testing and Optimize. The clinic is based in Clovis, California, and lists offices in Fresno, Clovis, Visalia and Tulare. Its service area also takes in Madera, Sanger, Selma and Kingsburg. It has a 5 rating on Google from 6 reviews.

Dr. Bahram Sohrabi, DO, is the Medical Director. He is listed as a board-certified family physician, ABFM Board Certified, who reads and finalizes every plan. The weight loss program does not name which physician reviews it. For weight loss, a physician reviews your intake and labs and decides whether an FDA-approved medication fits. The program mentions GLP-1 and dual-agonist medications as examples. Prescriptions go through LillyDirect, and it does not use compounded GLP-1 medications. In its own words: "Nothing is promised in advance, and if medication isn't the right answer for you, that's the answer you'll get."

What does it cost?

Medical weight loss is $249 a month, with physician check-ins and labs included. Medication is not included. The pharmacy bills it separately. The clinic does not publish a consultation fee. It is direct pay only, with no insurance billing, though HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout. You can cancel any time. Its other services are listed separately: IV care is $269 for one visit or $229 a month as a membership, vitamin shots start at $35, and lab testing starts at $149.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Sohrabi is the physician who prescribes for weight loss, or whether someone else does. Ask what "labs included" covers, especially the basic labs you need if you have no recent results. Ask how the medication is priced and billed, since it sits outside the $249. Ask whether visits are in person or by video, because that is not stated. Ask whether there is a minimum commitment or any cancellation fee, and get the answer in writing. Ask how the plan tracks muscle as well as weight. You can call (559) 314-6624 to put these questions to the clinic.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in California, can carry $249 a month plus the medication cost, and want a physician to review your labs before a plan is set. It is a weaker match if you need insurance billing, or if you need to know how visits are done before you commit.
