About Living Water Clinic

What is Living Water Clinic?

Living Water Clinic is a family medicine practice with offices in Porterville, Lindsay, Woodlake, Selma and Visalia, California, plus a mobile clinic serving nearby areas. Its full name is Living Water Community Health and Wellness Clinic, also known as Clínica Agua Viva. It describes itself as a faith-based family medicine practice. Its services include primary care, pediatric care, diabetes and asthma care, virtual urgent care, walk-in visits, remote patient monitoring and weight loss management. Dental, optometry and chiropractic care are offered at its Lindsay and Woodlake offices.

The weight loss program is led by Angelina Neria, MD, who is also listed as a registered dietitian, with an M.P.H., and as an obesity medicine specialist. The program starts with an exam to check for chronic conditions or hormone problems that could get in the way, then builds a customized plan covering meal planning, exercise and ongoing support. Medication is one option. Dr. Neria may prescribe a weight loss medication. In its own words: "If you’re a good candidate, we may also prescribe medications to help adjust your appetite." It does not name any medications. Telemedicine is available, and weight loss patients can be seen at its Porterville, Visalia and Lindsay locations, both in person and by telemedicine. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 531 reviews.

This listing is for its Lindsay office at 833 Rd 214.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. No consultation fee, program price or membership term is listed, and it does not say whether medication is included in any charge. The clinic accepts insurance and asks patients to contact the office with payment questions, but the plans it accepts are not named. Call before you book and ask whether your plan covers weight loss visits and medication. If it does not, ask what a visit costs without insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription. Dr. Neria is named for the weight loss program, but no prescriber is named for the Visalia office, so if you are booking there, ask who would prescribe for you. If the program carries a monthly fee, ask whether it includes the medication. Ask which medication you would receive, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed on top of the program. Ask whether the prescriber can see you by video, and how cancellation works, including any minimum commitment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family medicine practice where a physician leads the weight loss program, you can attend in person or by telemedicine, and you are willing to get prices, medication details and cancellation terms in writing before you commit. If you need published prices before you call, you will have to ask for them.
