What is Viva Wellness Medical Group?
Viva Wellness Medical Group is a medical weight loss and aesthetic clinic at 3434 Midway Drive, Suite 2007, San Diego, CA 92110. Its best-known service is medication-based weight loss, with cosmetic work such as Botox, dermal fillers, Ultherapy and laser hair removal alongside it. It also offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, and anti-aging treatment such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Dr. Michael Tachuk is the physician who prescribes at the clinic. He has practiced in San Diego for over 30 years and has specialized in weight loss medicine for over 20. Before opening this clinic he ran a family medicine practice in El Cajon. No MD or DO is listed after his name, so none is stated here.
The clinic has been in business for over 19 years. It is open Monday 11am to 5pm, Tuesday through Friday 11am to 6pm, and Saturday 10am to 3pm, and it welcomes walk-ins. Google lists it at 4.7 from 158 reviews.
What does it cost?
The per-dose prices include the medication. Semaglutide is $299 at 0.25 mg, $349 at 0.5 mg, $359 at 1.0 mg, $399 at 1.7 mg and $449 at 2.5 mg. Tirzepatide is $299 at 2.5 mg, $375 at 5 mg, $465 at 7.5 mg, $599 at 10 mg, $610 at 12.5 mg and $720 at 15 mg.
In its own words: "Prices are subject to change. Your provider confirms your dose and total at your visit."
Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not publish a consultation fee. Ask for that number before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs your prescription and what credential that person holds. Dr. Tachuk is named as the physician, but no MD or DO appears after his name, so ask for the credential in writing.
Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. The clinic's weight loss material mentions Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Zepbound, but it does not say which product it uses.
Ask whether phentermine or phendimetrazine is offered. That material mentions both, but neither appears on the price list.
Ask what each per-dose price covers, including the first exam, in-office injections, follow-up visits and lab work. Ask how often you are billed and what happens to your price when your dose changes. Ask how cancellation works and whether an unused dose is refunded. Ask whether any visit can be done by video, since none is mentioned, and whether HSA or FSA cards can be used.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want in-person, medication-based weight loss in San Diego, can pay per dose or finance it, and may want cosmetic work in the same office. If you need insurance billing or a video visit, get those answers in writing before you book.
