About 911 BioCare - Redlands

What is 911 BioCare, Redlands?

911 BioCare, Redlands is a telemedicine and in-person wellness practice at 330 Alabama, Ste D in Redlands, California. It is run by Dr. Conrad Salinas, MD, who received his medical degree from UCLA and has practiced medicine in Southern California for over 32 years, with specialties listed in Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, and Longevity Medicine. He also serves as a combat surgeon, Colonel, in the Army National Guard. The practice offers hormone therapy, weight loss, IV therapies, chiropractic therapy, interventional pain medication, and vitamin injections, and describes its weight loss program as physician-directed. Hormone therapy for women uses bio-identical hormones prescribed through a local licensed compounding pharmacy, based on blood testing. The practice offers both telehealth and in-person visits, with telehealth available statewide in California and specifically mentioned for San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and Ventura counties. In its own words: "Schedule a call with one of our providers to see if hormone therapy or our weight loss program is right for you before committing to any expense."

What does it cost?

911 BioCare does not publish prices for its weight loss program, hormone therapy, or any of its other services. One cost it does name: lab work for a hormone panel, for those who have not had recent levels checked, averages $150 to $200. It does not say whether that figure is folded into any later treatment cost, and it does not state a consultation fee, a membership structure, or whether insurance is accepted.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the full cost is once labs, the consultation, and any prescribed medication are added together, since none of that is listed anywhere. Ask whether the monthly or program fee includes medication itself, or whether that is billed separately through a pharmacy. For hormone therapy, ask whether what is prescribed is a compounded preparation or a brand-name product, since the women's hormone information specifically mentions a local compounding pharmacy. Ask who you will actually see for your visits. Dr. Salinas is the physician named, but the practice also refers to "providers" and "medical professionals" more generally, so confirm who signs your prescription. Ask how often follow-up visits and labs are required, since the practice mentions monitoring every 3 to 6 months, and what each of those follow-ups costs. If you are considering the weight loss program, ask which FDA approved medications are actually used, since none are named. And ask what happens if you want to stop treatment partway through, since no cancellation terms are given.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a telehealth option covering a wide stretch of Southern California with a physician who has decades of general and emergency medicine background, and you are comfortable asking directly about costs and what is or is not included before you commit to anything, since none of that is published up front.
