In its own words: our team is committed to providing exceptional care tailored to your needs.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. Payment is due at the time of service, and there is a payment plans section, but no plan amounts or terms are listed. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a monthly fee includes medication, or how cancellation works. The intake process starts with a form, then a review of recent blood work or a lab visit, so ask what labs and follow-up visits cost on top of any treatment fee.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes each prescription and who reviews your results and changes your plan. Ask whether the program price includes the Skinny Shot or Skinny Drop. The clinic does not name the Skinny Shot's active ingredient, so ask for it, and ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. For the pellets, ask whether they are compounded and who oversees that. Ask what blood work, lab visits and follow-ups cost. It does not say whether follow-up can happen by phone or video, so ask. Ask the hours at each office and which one you would be seen at. If a membership or monthly plan is involved, ask how cancellation works before you pay anything.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want care from a nurse practitioner and are ready to pay directly for weight, hormone or peptide treatment once you have the costs in writing. If you need insurance billing or a posted price list before you call, ask for both first.
