About Scale Down

What is Scale Down?

Scale Down is a medical weight loss practice in Ave Maria, Florida, and it says it serves patients across the state. It does not publish a street address, so call (239) 376 0888 to confirm where the office is. Medical weight loss is the main service. The practice names two medications in the GLP-1 family, semaglutide and tirzepatide, and says care happens under a licensed healthcare professional.

The practice also offers what it calls Enhancements: NAD+, which it describes as a coenzyme involved in energy production, and Bio Booster, which it describes as a wellness formula of amino acids and B-vitamins. It does not name a prescriber. In its own words: "Our clinical team takes the time to understand your unique needs and prepares a customized, detailed plan for every patient who walks through our doors."

This listing is for its Ave Maria office at 5072 Annunciation Cir Ste 240.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or consultation fees. It also does not say whether medication is included in any monthly fee, whether insurance is accepted, whether financing or an HSA can be used, or what its cancellation terms are. It does not list hours and does not say whether telehealth visits are offered. It asks prospective patients to call or book a consultation to get a plan. Ask for the full cost of that first consultation in writing, then ask for the monthly cost with and without medication.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who the licensed healthcare professional is, and whether that person prescribes your medication and oversees your progress. Ask whether the semaglutide and tirzepatide are brand-name products or compounded, and where the clinic gets them. Ask whether a monthly fee covers the medication, the visits, and lab work, and what follow-up visits and labs cost if they are billed separately. For NAD+ and Bio Booster, ask who recommends them, who oversees them, and whether they are part of the program or chosen separately. Ask whether visits are in person, by video, or both. Ask for the Ave Maria street address and office hours. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a contract or minimum commitment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person medical weight loss program in or near Ave Maria, and you are ready to get the prescriber's name and every price in writing before you pay. If you want telehealth or insurance billing, call first and confirm, since neither is described.
