Most of its listed services are aesthetic, including Elite Tox, Elite Lips, Elite Smile Lines, Elite BBL, Elite Microneedling, Elite O-Shot, Elite IPL Photo Facial and laser hair removal. Medical weight loss and TMJ treatment are also on the list. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

The weight loss program is called the Elite Skinny Shot. The clinic describes it as medically supervised GLP-1 therapy using either semaglutide or tirzepatide, combined with glycine. The prescribers named are Jeff Goldstein, PA-C, who is also the owner, Melanie Hartsell, APRN, Leanne Lorenz, APRN, and Rigoberto J. Mendoza, MD, the medical director, whom the clinic describes as a board-certified plastic surgeon. The clinic has a Google rating of 5 from 245 reviews.

This listing is for its Bradenton office at 11549 SR 70 E Suite 102 – Loft, 16.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The weight loss program is billed monthly, but no dollar amount is given for it. It says nothing about whether the monthly fee includes the medication. No consultation fee is listed. It says nothing about insurance, HSA or financing. It also gives no membership terms or cancellation policy for the weight loss program. The clinic does offer Botox and Xeomin membership programs, but no terms for those are listed either.

What should you ask before you book?

In its own words: "A first visit is unhurried on purpose, with time to ask questions and understand the options before anything is scheduled." Use that time to ask who writes and signs the prescription, and how often you would see that person. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, the visits and the glycine, or whether any of those are billed separately. Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are included. Ask whether telehealth is offered and whether insurance is accepted. Finally, ask how you cancel a monthly plan and whether there is a minimum number of months.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medically supervised weight loss in the same office that offers cosmetic treatments, and you are comfortable with a prescribing PA or APRN working under a physician medical director. It is a better match if you can get the full monthly cost and cancellation terms in writing before you book.
