Advanced Metabolic Care + Research

About Advanced Metabolic Care + Research

What is Advanced Metabolic Care + Research?

Advanced Metabolic Care + Research is an endocrinology practice, a clinic built around hormones and metabolism. It lists eight services: Diabetes Management, Virtual Care, Thyroid Health, Lipid Health, Women's Health, Osteoporosis, Men's Health and Weight Management. Weight management is one service among several. Its Men's Health service describes optimizing testosterone, thyroid function, metabolic health and fertility, but it does not say whether testosterone therapy is offered as a named service. Virtual Care is delivered by telehealth. In its own words: "diabetes care delivered remotely through telehealth, continuous glucose monitoring, personalized education, and virtual coaching for medication, diet, and lifestyle management."

Nine clinicians are named as prescribers: Navya Reddy, MD; Timothy Bailey, MD; Farhad Farjoudi, MD; Nikhitha Chandrashekar, MD; John Walsh, PA; Elena Eckard, NP; Roya Jannesari, NP; Charlene Dobashi, NP; and Jenine Yager Stone, NP, Ph.D. It does not give a street address, phone number or opening hours, and it does not name a town. It has a Google rating of 2.2 from 99 reviews, in the Medical clinic category.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Every service is listed at $0.00, which is not a figure you can budget from, so ask for the real number. It does not publish a consultation fee, a membership term or a cancellation policy. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee. It lists an Insurance section but does not say whether it accepts insurance. Some services carry an Add to cart button and others a Book Appointment button, so ask what each route costs.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will write your prescription and which of the nine named clinicians you will see. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and which weight-loss medications it uses, since it does not name them. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and what the medication costs on its own. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and continuous monitoring cost, and whether Virtual Care visits are billed differently from in-person ones. If testosterone therapy interests you, ask whether it is prescribed under Men's Health. Ask whether it bills insurance, where the office is, whether any visit happens in person, and how to cancel or pause a plan.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already manage a diabetes, thyroid, lipid or bone condition with endocrine care and want a team to coordinate it, or if you want to ask about weight management or hormone care and are comfortable getting the price, the prescriber and the medication details in writing before you pay. It is worth calling if those answers come back clear. Hold off if you need a published fee or a street address first.
