What is AriaMed?
AriaMed is an integrative medicine practice at 515 Alameda Ave #D in Salinas, CA 93901. Its main number is (831) 771-0903, and the office is open weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm, closed Saturday and Sunday. Four physicians are listed as its providers: Matthew M. Watson, MD, MPH, an internal medicine specialist; William Khieu, MD, FACS, FACOG, listed as senior medical director for integrative medicine; Michael Klassen, MD, FACS, an orthopedics and sports medicine specialist; and Kathryn Gunnison, MD, an obstetrics and gynecology specialist.
Most of its listed services are cosmetic. The MediWeight Program uses prescription diet medications for weight loss, and the practice also offers Anti-Aging Hormone Rebalancing. Its other listed treatments are Botox, injectable fillers, Kybella, CoolSculpting, PRP therapy, V.I.Peel and Glow Eternal. It does not list peptide therapy. It describes its approach as integrative, combining conventional and alternative methods. It has a Google rating of 5 from 4 reviews. It does not state whether it offers telehealth or how long it has been open.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. It accepts insurance, and most insurances cover the visit costs. In its own words: "Medications are an out-of-pocket expense." It does not say what those medications cost. Aesthetic consults are free of charge, but it does not state whether a weight loss consult carries a fee. Botox pricing varies depending on insurance coverage, and CoolSculpting quotes come only after a personal consult. It does not publish financing, HSA or membership terms.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the MediWeight prescription, since the program description names no medications and does not say which physician prescribes them. Ask which medications are used, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask what the medication costs each month and whether any program fee covers it.
The program also asks for regular visits. In its own words: "Attend weekly appointments to weigh-in and track progress." Ask what each visit costs after insurance, and whether the weight loss consult has a fee. For the hormone program, ask which hormones are involved and what testing comes first. Finally, ask how lab work and follow-up are priced, whether telehealth is available, and how cancellation works.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you can keep weekday daytime appointments and want the prescriber, the medication cost and the cancellation terms settled before you pay anything.
