What is Avita MD?
Avita MD is a physician-owned primary care practice with offices in Los Altos, Mountain View, and Los Gatos, California. It is mainly a primary care clinic, the kind that does annual physicals, manages chronic conditions, and handles referrals, with medical weight loss, BHRT, and longevity medicine offered alongside that core work. The weight loss program is led by Dr. Patricia Sitnitsky, M.D., DABOM, who is board certified in obesity medicine, and prescribing also involves Dr. Jyotsna Singh Vincent, M.D., Dr. Pardeep Taunk, M.D., and Ganna Baetge, PA-C. For weight loss, it prescribes and monitors GLP-1 medications, naming semaglutide and tirzepatide (the active ingredients in Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound), alongside metabolic testing, nutrition guidance, and lab work. All three locations have on-site phlebotomy, so labs can be drawn the same day as a visit. Telehealth is available for established patients, and the practice offers same-day and next-day appointments.
This listing is for its Los Altos office at 827 Altos Oaks Dr, Suite 4.
What does it cost?
No prices are published for the weight loss program, BHRT, or longevity medicine, and it does not say whether a monthly fee would include the cost of the medication itself. It does state that it accepts Medicare, most major PPO plans, and HMO plans, and that it offers self-pay options for patients without insurance. It also notes that major medical insurance typically covers one preventive visit a year at no cost to the patient, though it does not say whether GLP-1 prescriptions or ongoing weight loss visits are covered the same way. Ask directly what a consultation costs, what the medication itself will run you, and whether your insurance covers any part of the GLP-1 prescription or just the office visit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether your specific plan covers the GLP-1 medication or only the visits around it, since that is not stated. Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide you would be prescribed is brand-name (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) or a compounded version, and what the cash price is if insurance does not cover it. Ask which of the four listed prescribers you would actually see, since a practice with 13 providers may not guarantee time with the obesity medicine specialist. Ask what the follow-up visits and repeat labs cost over the course of treatment, and what happens if you want to stop.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss care folded into an ongoing primary care relationship, with on-site labs and a provider who also manages your other health conditions, rather than a stand-alone weight loss subscription. It is less of a fit if you are looking for published, predictable monthly pricing before you ever pick up the phone.
