About Excellence Medical Group

What is Excellence Medical Group?

Excellence Medical Group is a family medical practice at 755 N Irwin Street in Hanford, California. It describes itself as a practice that serves the whole family, and its services include yearly physicals, immunizations, urgent care walk-ins, chronic illness care, menopause care and hormone replacement therapy. Weight management is one service among many. Its medically supervised weight loss programs are offered in partnership with Excellence Medical Spa, which sits right next door. The programs name two medications, semaglutide and phentermine.

Eric Sorensen, MD, is listed as a prescriber, along with five nurse practitioners: Ronnette Daulton, NP; Aaron Cagle, FNP-BC; Laura Mulligan, FNP-C; Leah Gilcrease, FNP-C and FNP-BC; and Tiffany Clayton, FNP-C and FNP-BC. In its own words: "Our Nurse Practitioners listen to you." The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. Its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 296 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss programs are the ones with prices listed. The hCG program starts at $55 a week. The Keto program is $40 a week plus a start-up fee. The Phentermine program is also $40 a week plus a start-up fee. The Semaglutide program is $900 for three months, and that price includes the medication.

The practice accepts most PPO and Medicare plans as well as cash pay patients. It does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not publish membership, financing or cancellation terms. It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or menopause care either.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will write your weight loss prescription. No prescriber is named for the programs, so ask which clinician will sign it and how often you will see that person. Ask whether the hCG and Keto prices include medication, since only the $900 semaglutide program lists medication in its price. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab testing, follow-up visits and weekly weigh-ins cost beyond the program price.

Ask whether insurance applies to any weight loss service, and how the $900 program is billed. It does not say whether follow-up can be done by video, so ask that directly. Ask how cancellation and refunds work. Saturday hours are not listed consistently, so confirm the day before you drive in.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one family practice that handles routine medical care and a weight loss or hormone question in the same office, and you are willing to confirm the prescriber, the medication and the cancellation terms before you pay. If you need a named physician running the weight loss program or video visits, ask about those first.
