About LakeSide Endocrine Associates

What is LakeSide Endocrine Associates?

LakeSide Endocrine Associates is an endocrinology practice at 1667 N Clyde Morris Blvd STE 2 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Its main work is thyroid, adrenal, diabetes, bone and reproductive hormone care. Dr. Frank R. Kohler, Jr., D.O., F.A.C.E., is the medical director and is described as a board eligible endocrinologist whose experience in endocrinology spans twenty years. Shawn "Demian" Kelly, FNP-C, MSN and Veronica Pellino, FNP-C are the nurse practitioners listed as prescribers. The phone number is (386) 274-1414.

Beyond endocrine care, the practice offers medical weight loss with semaglutide, hormone therapy, hormone replacement therapy, low testosterone in men, and menopause. Semaglutide is the only medication it names. The weight loss program was set to launch in November of 2023, and it is not stated whether the program is taking patients now. For insulin pump training, the practice does not run the training itself but hosts manufacturer-led sessions from time to time. The clinic's Google rating is 3.3 from 125 reviews.

This listing is for its Daytona Beach office at 1667 N Clyde Morris Blvd STE 2.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no monthly program price, and nothing that says whether medication is included in any cost. On insurance, the practice lists a long set of plans, including Medicare Advantage, Tricare and commercial plans. Patients pay copays and coinsurance at the time of service. Out-of-network plans it accepts carry a higher deductible or copay. Medicaid is among the plans it does not take.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the semaglutide program is taking patients now and what a month of it costs. Ask whether that monthly price includes the medication, and whether the drug is the brand-name product or a compounded version. Ask who writes the prescription, and whether you will see Dr. Kohler or one of the nurse practitioners. In its own words: "A provider will conduct a thorough medical history before prescribing weekly injections." Ask whether that visit is billed separately, and what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since that is not stated, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. Finally, ask how a program is cancelled and whether there is a fee.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you have a thyroid, adrenal, diabetes, bone or hormone question and want an endocrinology office staffed by a D.O. and two nurse practitioners. Call before you book if you need a program you can start this month or prices in writing.
