What is Smart Medicine SF?
Smart Medicine SF is a family practice at 2369 Ocean Avenue in San Francisco, run by Vinh Ngo, MD, who has practiced there for almost 20 years. It is built around integrative and functional medicine, meaning Dr. Ngo mixes conventional care with a broader wellness approach, and the services reflect that range: medically assisted weight loss and hormone replacement therapy sit alongside addiction medicine (Suboxone and Buprenorphine), nootropics, Myer's Cocktail IV therapy, and a long list of aesthetic treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, Kybella, Emsculpt, SculpSure, and laser tattoo removal. Weight loss and hormone therapy are two services among many here, not the main focus of the practice. It describes itself as serving San Francisco "and beyond," and is open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Spanish is spoken on site.
In its own words: "Shed pounds without feeling hungry and reach your ideal weight with our medically assisted weight loss programs."
What does it cost?
No prices are published for weight loss, hormone therapy, or any other service. There is no stated consultation fee, no mention of what a monthly program includes, and no published policy on insurance, HSA or FSA use, or financing. If cost matters to your decision, you will need to call (415) 498-1356 and ask for actual numbers before you book anything.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Dr. Ngo is the one who will see you and sign any prescription, or whether another clinician on staff handles weight loss or hormone visits. Ask what the weight loss program actually includes: medication, lab work, follow-up visits, and whether any of those are billed separately. Ask which medications are used for weight loss, since none are named for that service specifically, and whether any hormone or weight loss prescriptions are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether insurance is accepted for any part of care, since nothing is stated on that either. If you are considering the addiction medicine track, ask how Suboxone or Buprenorphine treatment is structured and billed, since that is named more specifically than the weight loss or hormone programs. Finally, ask what happens if you want to stop a program partway through, since no cancellation or membership terms are published.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a single, local physician you can see in person for a mix of primary care, hormone therapy, weight loss, and aesthetic treatments under one roof, and you are comfortable calling ahead to get pricing and program details that are not posted anywhere. It is less of a fit if you are looking for a clinic built specifically around one GLP-1 or hormone protocol with published pricing you can compare before you ever pick up the phone.
