About Miranda Medicine

What is Miranda Medicine?

Miranda Medicine is a private practice at 1456 Professional Dr., Suite 404, in Petaluma, California. Erick Miranda, MD, is the one prescriber the clinic names. He is Harvard Medical School educated and USC trained, with nearly 20 years of direct patient care, and he is double board certified in emergency medicine and lifestyle medicine.

Mainly it is a general office for a broad range of conditions, which resembles urgent care. Its four listed services are in-person clinic visits, telemedicine consultations, a weight loss program, and USCIS immigration exams. The weight loss program names two medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide. Telemedicine is open to anyone in California. Immigration exams are done in a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon clinic. The practice has a Google rating of 5 from 11 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss program starts at $375. That price includes the medication, syringes and instructions. In its own words: "Our pricing is straight forward and transparent without hidden costs." Some numbers are still missing. The clinic does not say whether $375 covers one month, one vial, or a 2-4 month supply, and the medication is described both ways. It does not publish a price for tirzepatide.

Other listed prices include $85 for a general office visit, $85 for a telemedicine visit, and $275 for a USCIS immigration exam, which includes completing the I-693 form. Quest bills its lab work separately, and insurance usually covers that portion. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and who manages your care between visits, since Erick Miranda, MD, is the only prescriber the clinic names. Ask whether the $375 is charged once or each month, and how much medication it buys. Ask whether the semaglutide is brand-name or compounded, because the vial is listed as semaglutide with vitamin B12 and glycine. Ask what tirzepatide costs and whether it falls under the same program.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether the "no extra charges" wording covers the $85 office and telemedicine visits on the general price list. Ask whether the clinic takes insurance and how cancellation works, since it does not describe a membership term. You can call 707-931-4614 to ask.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a Petaluma office or a telemedicine visit anywhere in California, or if you need a USCIS I-693 immigration exam. For weight loss, it fits if you can get the cost per month or per vial, and the tirzepatide price, in writing before you start. If you need insurance billing, call first, because the clinic does not say whether it takes insurance.
