This listing is for its Plainville office at 58 W Main St.

What does it cost?

The 12-week Metabolic Reset Program starts at $1297, which it lists as including medications, labwork, dietary guidance and coaching, and supplement protocols. Its hormone package averages $1297 over 12 weeks. The initial visit with labs is $399. The testosterone plan is $199 a month, and its footnote says that covers medication and supplies shipped to you, quarterly labs, follow up visits, and discounts on peptides and supplements.

It does not publish prices for hormone visits after the first. Care is cash pay only, since the clinic works outside insurance. It asks for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. It does not publish a membership term or a cancellation fee, so ask about both.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription. The credentials listed are DNP, APRN and FNP-BC, so confirm which one applies to you. Ask whether the $1297 covers medication for all 12 weeks, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the $399 initial fee also applies to weight loss visits, and what hormone follow-up visits and labs cost.

For testosterone, ask which form the $199 a month covers, such as injection, gel, patch or pellet, and whether changes to your medication cost extra. Ask how the monthly plan is cancelled and whether any unused month is refunded. The clinic lists no hours, so ask for them by calling (959) 900-8206 before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This clinic suits someone who will pay cash for weight loss or hormone care, can wait for a new patient slot, and wants telehealth or evening and weekend visits. As of 2/1/26 the clinic has a waitlist, and new patient visits begin in early March. If you need care sooner, or need a clinic that bills insurance, it may not fit. Most of its hormone copy is written for women, so a man seeking testosterone care should ask how the plan fits him.
