About LaRocca Medical

What is LaRocca Medical?

LaRocca Medical is a physician-led obesity medicine practice that also offers primary care. It describes itself as membership-based, with direct access to the physician by phone or secure messaging. Dr. Kristine LaRocca, D.O., is the founding CEO and the prescriber named for the practice. Her profile describes her as a family medicine physician and an obesity medicine specialist, and as a veteran Army medic who is the current Commanding Officer of the Delaware Army National Guard Medical Unit.

The practice names Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Foundayo (orforglipron) on its pages. Its listed care also includes hormone replacement therapy with estradiol and progesterone. In its own words: "We meet you where you are and go at your pace." It has a 5-star rating on Google from 22 reviews. The practice does not publish a street address, phone number or hours, and it does not name a town.

This listing is for its Greenville office at 20 Montchanin Rd Ste 125.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish its own fees for weight loss, hormone or primary care visits. It does not say whether a monthly price includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or what its membership costs. Membership fees and cancellation terms are not published either. The one cost it states is that the consultation is free for people who want to become patients.

Its blog has a post on cash prices from the drug makers, $149 to $449 per month for GLP-1 medications. Those figures are what Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly charge directly, not what this practice charges. The post does not say what the clinic adds on top of the medication price.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription. The practice names Dr. LaRocca as its prescriber, so ask whether she writes yours or whether another clinician on the team does. Ask whether the monthly membership includes the medication or whether the drug is billed separately at the manufacturer price. Ask whether the medication is brand-name. The clinic's blog urges patients to avoid compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, so ask whether it would ever prescribe a compounded version.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they fall under the membership. Ask how cancellation works and whether any fee is due after you cancel. Ask where the office is, what its hours are, and whether visits can be done remotely, since none of these are published.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led practice for obesity medicine with primary care alongside it, and you are ready to pay a membership out of pocket once its terms are in writing. It is a weaker fit if you need prices and office details before you call, since the practice does not publish them.
