About Aterna Wellness

What is Aterna Wellness?

Aterna Wellness is a medical spa and family practice in Fontana that also offers hormone therapy and medical weight loss alongside its aesthetic services. It was founded by Ahmad Ghandour, MSN, who is listed as CEO and as a Trauma ICU Clinician and Advanced Aesthetic Injector, and who is also named as a DNP-FNP Candidate. The two people named as prescribers are Tarek Ezzeddine, M.D., and Ahmad Ghandour, MSN.

Its Medical Weight Loss service centers on GLP-1 injections, naming Semaglutide (sold as Ozempic and Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (sold as Mounjaro). Hormone Optimization Therapy is offered for both men and women. Beyond these, the practice runs an IV lounge, a full menu of aesthetic injections (dermal fillers, neurotoxins, Sculptra, PRP, the P-Shot and V-Shot), laser treatments including the Soprano Titanium for hair removal, HydraFacial Syndeo, and general Family Practice visits for conditions like colds, flu, hypertension, and diabetes. In its own words: "At Aterna Wellness, we offer personalized, evidence-based hormone therapy for both men and women who are struggling with fati..." Its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 98 reviews, categorized as a medical spa.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for GLP-1 injections, hormone optimization therapy, or any other service. There is no consultation fee listed, no statement on whether insurance is accepted, and no mention of membership terms, financing, or cancellation policy. Anyone interested should ask for a full price breakdown before booking, including whether a visit fee applies separately from treatment costs.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Tarek Ezzeddine, M.D., or Ahmad Ghandour, MSN, is the one who will evaluate you and sign off on any prescription, since both are listed as prescribers but hold different credentials. Ask whether a quoted price for weight loss or hormone therapy includes the medication itself, and whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide used is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and any lab work cost, whether telehealth is an option given that no statement on this is published, and what the cancellation terms are for an ongoing program.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you would rather handle weight loss, hormone therapy, aesthetic treatments, and general family medicine through one practice instead of several separate providers. It is less of a fit if you want published pricing or a stated telehealth option before you pick up the phone.
