About Advance Biomedical Treatment Center

What is Advance Biomedical Treatment Center?

Advance Biomedical Treatment Center is an integrative and functional medicine practice at 35 Jolley Drive Suite 102 in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Its physician is Dr. Eileen C. Comia, M.D., a board-certified Internal Medicine physician and a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is also a staff physician at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center in Hartford. The clinic describes its approach this way: "The uniqueness of the practice is the integration of complementary medicine with conventional Internal Medicine, providing a new perspective to chronic illness."

The practice is mainly internal and functional medicine, with an aesthetics side under the Refresh Medspa name. Google files it as a medical spa and shows a 4.3 rating from 110 reviews. Its services include weight loss, anti-aging, autism treatment, detoxification, IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, specialized laboratory testing, and XLR8 cold laser therapy. The weight-loss program begins with a 10-day metabolic detoxification, then uses FirstLine Therapy, a Metagenics product the clinic describes as protein shakes and supplements. Office hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The phone number is (860)242-2200.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish a price for its weight-loss program or a consultation fee for people who are not members. The prices it does publish belong to its membership plans, which cover body contouring and skin treatments. None of them is the weight-loss program. Verju is $399 a month on a 6-month plan of 24 treatments, one a week. Accufit is $499 a month for 12 treatments on a 6-month plan, or $399 a month on a 12-month plan. LaseMD Melasma is $399 a month for 6 treatments over 6 months. Every plan includes a free consultation, a free nutritional plan, and 5% off additional treatments. A monthly supply of the slimming protein shake and supplement can be added for $200 a month. The clinic does not say whether medication is included, whether it accepts insurance, or how cancellation works.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes any prescription, and whether Dr. Comia sees you at each stage of the plan. Ask whether the monthly fee covers FirstLine Therapy, the blood tests, and the body composition analysis, and what lab work costs if it is billed separately. Ask whether any prescription medication is part of the plan, and if so whether it is brand-name or compounded and what it costs each month.

Ask what follow-up visits cost, whether the clinic accepts insurance, and whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask how cancellation and refunds work on a 6-month or 12-month plan. Finally, the weight-loss page makes strong claims about outcomes, so ask what evidence the clinic has for them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led office for a weight-loss plan or an aesthetic treatment series, you are willing to pay in monthly installments, and you will get the answers above in writing before you sign. It is a weaker match if you were looking for hormone or peptide therapy, since the clinic does not list either, or if you need a published price before you call.
