About Lifespan Wellness Group

What is Lifespan Wellness Group?

Lifespan Wellness Group is a cash pay integrative practice with offices in Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The St. Augustine office is listed as St. Augustine Spa. Kaitlyn Pontrelli, APRN, FNP-C, MSN, founded the practice and is the only prescriber named. Her background is in cardiac nursing and in an anti-aging and regenerative medicine office in Florida.

Its main work is primary care with an integrative focus, and it says it was founded to serve northeast Florida. The hormone, weight loss and peptide services sit alongside heart health, thyroid optimization, immune support, joint injections and IV therapy. Hormones are offered for men and women as creams, gels, injections and capsules. Weight loss care starts with history and lab testing, and the clinic does not name a medication. Telemedicine is available. It has a 5 rating on Google from 5 reviews.

This listing is for its Jacksonville office at 8833 Perimeter Park Blvd Ste 903.

What does it cost?

It does not take insurance. In its words: "We do not take insurance as most insurance companies limit the amount of time we can spend with you and how we manage your conditions." It offers free 15-minute consultations. After that, appointments generally cost between $50 and $350, depending on the level of care and whether you are new or established. Visits run 20 to 60 minutes. The clinic argues its prices compare well to insurance once co-pays and deductibles are counted, so check that against what you would actually pay.

It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or peptide therapy. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, and it does not describe membership terms, cancellation, or HSA or financing options.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription. Kaitlyn is the only prescriber named, so ask whether she reviews and signs every hormone and peptide order herself.

Ask whether any medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication, and what labs, follow-up visits and IV sessions add to the total. Ask for the full yearly cost in writing.

For weight loss, ask which medication would be used, since none is named. For peptides, ask which conditions the clinic treats in practice and what it bases each one on, because its list of uses is long. Ask which office you would be seen at and what hours it keeps, since no hours are listed. Finally, ask how to cancel, and whether a telemedicine visit can lead to a prescription.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you expect to pay the full cost yourself, want a nurse practitioner who will spend time with you, and will ask for prices in writing before you book. It is not a fit if you need insurance to pay any part of the bill, or if you need published prices for weight loss or hormone therapy before you call.
