Verified listingAbout Northeast Florida Internal Medicine
What is Northeast Florida Internal Medicine?
Northeast Florida Internal Medicine is an internal medicine practice at 2065 Herschel Street, Jacksonville, FL 32204. It has been in practice for 30 years. Elyssa Blissenbach, MD, founded the practice and leads it. She is a board-certified obesity medicine specialist. Lea-Anne Griffis, APRN, is the only other prescriber named.
Its named services are Lyme disease, weight loss management, hormone replacement therapy, ADHD and internal medicine. It also offers IV vitamin and glutathione infusions, echo, carotid Doppler and renal ultrasound, metabolic rate and bone density (DXA) testing, and immunizations with in-office blood draws. For weight loss, the medications named are Mounjaro, Ozempic, semaglutide, Wegovy, phentermine, Contrave and Qsymia. It also offers peptide therapy with AOD 9604. Hormone care comes as pellets, injections, and oral and topical medications.
Telemedicine visits are offered to patients in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. Pellet insertion and some prescriptions still require an in-office visit.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or any other service. It does not state a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. It accepts most insurance providers but does not name which ones.
Before you book, ask for a written estimate that covers the first visit, the medication, lab work and follow-up visits. Ask whether cash-pay patients are charged differently from insured patients, whether HSA funds or financing are accepted, and whether any membership fee applies.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Dr. Blissenbach or Lea-Anne Griffis, APRN, will write your prescription and handle your follow-up visits. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication. Ask whether the drug is the brand-name product or a compounded version. The practice names brand products but does not say whether it dispenses compounded medication. Ask the same question about AOD 9604.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether pellet replacements are billed separately. The practice says some lab work can be done at a laboratory near you, so ask which tests that covers and who pays for them. If you choose telemedicine, ask which parts of your care still need an in-office visit. Finally, ask how to cancel, how much notice is required, and whether a fee applies if you stop early.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician-led internal medicine practice that also handles weight loss or hormone treatment, and you are willing to get a written price before you commit. It is a harder call if you need to know the full cost before you pick up the phone, since no prices are published.
