What is Dr. Terese Harris?
Dr. Terese Harris is a physician-led practice in Newport Beach, California, run by Terese Harris, MD, FACOG, FAARM. The practice calls itself a concierge-style wellness practice and centers on hormone therapy, with regenerative medicine, weight management and longevity care alongside it. Its services include Hormone Optimization, a Metabolic Reset Program, Regenerative Medicine and Aesthetic Enhancements. Named treatments include pellet therapy, menopause and low testosterone care, and Testopel, a testosterone pellet. The Metabolic Reset Program combines hormone balance, GLP-1 injectables and lifestyle strategies.
The practice is in Newport Beach, and a second office in Huntington Beach is also listed. The practice says Dr. Harris has over 25 years of experience and has used hormone pellets since 1998. Her bio lists board certification in OB/Gyn and Regenerative Medicine. Google lists the practice as a medical group with a 4.9 rating from 126 reviews. The team listing also names Dr. Bela Patel, a Doctor of Pharmacy and health and wellness coach, but Dr. Patel is not listed as a prescriber.
This listing is for its Newport Beach office at 1501 Westcliff Dr #300.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any program, and it does not describe membership terms or cancellation. The practice is cash pay. In its own words: "We prioritize your care over insurance constraints, which is why we don’t bill insurance directly." It is out of network, but it gives you an invoice, superbill and reimbursement form to file yourself. It accepts FSA and HSA cards and offers payment plans. Labs may be covered by EPO and PPO plans, or you can use cash labs. For cost details, call (714) 794-1818.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription and whether Dr. Harris handles follow-up in person, since Dr. Patel is not listed as a prescriber. Ask whether a monthly program fee includes the medication or bills it separately. For GLP-1 injectables and peptides, ask whether the product is brand-name or compounded. A blog post from the practice says most hormone pellets are compounded, so ask the same question about pellets.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether your plan covers those labs. Ask whether telehealth is offered, because the practice does not say. Ask which hours apply, since its listed hours differ on Fridays. Finally, ask how to cancel a program or payment plan, and which office you would be seen in, Newport Beach or Huntington Beach.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying cash for hormone therapy or weight management, want a physician-led practice, and are willing to ask about prices and products before you book. It may not suit you if you need a published price before booking or want the office to bill your insurer directly.
