What is Agape Family Medical Center?
Agape Family Medical Center is mainly a primary care and family medicine practice, with offices in Waterbury and Hartford, Connecticut. Its services range from primary care, internal medicine and pediatrics to immunizations, blood pressure care, ear wax removal and DOT/CDL physical exams. Weight loss is one of those services, not the practice's whole purpose. It is listed on Google under nurse practitioner, with a 3.9 rating from 19 reviews.
The one prescriber the clinic names is Felistas (Felly) Mazhandu, FNP-BC. The clinic describes her as an internal medicine and primary care nurse practitioner who specializes in family medicine, certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
The weight loss program is designed for patients with an unhealthy BMI. Each patient gets a physical exam, body composition analysis, and metabolic, nutritional or diagnostic testing, with lifestyle changes and support groups included. A separate Back on Track program is for people who have regained weight after bariatric surgery. In its own words: "With our unique and flexible weight loss program, we address the medical, behavioral, and nutritional aspects to cater to your specific needs."
This listing is for its Waterbury office at 1078 W Main St Ste 3.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss or any other service. It does not state a consultation fee, whether insurance is accepted, or whether a monthly program fee covers any medication. Membership terms, cancellation, HSA use and financing are not mentioned either. Call 203-527-3576 and ask for the full cost of your first visit and of each month of the program, in dollars, before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who prescribes within the weight loss program. The clinic names one prescriber, but it does not say whether she runs the program or who else would prescribe. Ask whether any prescription medication is part of the program, and if so, which one, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. The clinic names no medication.
Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication, and if it does not, what the medication costs on top. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and body composition testing cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether insurance covers any of it, and whether HSA cards or financing are accepted. Ask how to cancel and whether cancellation carries a fee. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the clinic does not say. Confirm weekday office hours before you visit, because the posted times differ from place to place.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a family medicine practice that handles your regular care and also runs a weight loss program, and you are willing to get prices, medication details and the prescriber's role confirmed before you pay. It may not suit you if you need a published monthly price, a named weight loss prescriber or telehealth, since none of those are published.
