What is The Aesthetic Center?
The Aesthetic Center is mainly a plastic surgery practice, with a medical spa and a medical weight loss program in the same office. It is at 722 Post Road, Suite 202, Darien, CT 06820, and it serves Darien, New Canaan and beyond. The phone number is (203) 656-9999. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and the office is closed on weekends.
The medical weight loss program is led by Dr. David Passaretti, FACS, MD, and Cassandra Esposito, APRN. Those two are the prescribers. Carin Gustavson, CMLT, EMT, is the medical spa director, but she is not listed as a prescriber. Of the kinds of care covered here, the clinic offers medical weight loss and peptide therapy. Hormone therapy and longevity medicine are not mentioned. The weight loss program uses tirzepatide.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for medical weight loss, and it does not state a consultation fee. It also does not say whether tirzepatide or peptide therapy is included in any price, or whether weight loss care is covered by insurance.
The clinic is in-network with ConnectiCare and Aetna, but that statement covers breast reconstruction, facial fractures, hand surgery and other medically necessary procedures. Its menu lists financing and online payment for consultations, but no terms for either appear in the text. Membership terms and cancellation rules are not stated.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and signs the tirzepatide prescription, and who will see you for follow-up. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the tirzepatide is a brand name drug or compounded. Ask what the consultation costs and whether it counts toward treatment.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed on top of the program. Ask whether telehealth is available, since the clinic does not say. Ask how you cancel, whether there is a minimum number of months, and what you owe if you stop. If you plan to use financing, ask for the terms in writing, and ask whether insurance covers any part of weight loss care.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss care in Darien or New Canaan from a practice that also does cosmetic surgery and med spa work, and you can keep weekday office hours. It is a weaker fit if you need telehealth, hormone therapy or longevity medicine, since the clinic does not describe any of those. Get the prices, the medication terms and the cancellation rules in writing before you book.
