Freedom Family Practice

About Freedom Family Practice

What is Freedom Family Practice?

Freedom Family Practice is a family primary care practice at 2929 Lakeland Highlands Rd, Lakeland, FL 33803. Its core work is primary care for adults and children, including acute and urgent visits, management of chronic conditions, immunizations, sports physicals and geriatric care. Pamela Leach, APRN, is the only prescriber named, and she guides its weight loss and hormone services.

Medical weight loss is one service among several. Semaglutide is named as the generic name for Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus. Its plans combine prescription medication with nutrition and fitness guidance and lab monitoring. Hormone replacement therapy is offered for men and women, including testosterone replacement therapy. Peptide therapy is also listed. In its own words: "peptide therapy is designed to support the body’s natural healing, metabolic, and regenerative processes through individualized medical care."

Telehealth is available anywhere in Florida, and mobile primary care and house calls in Tampa are also offered. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. The phone number is 863-500-9279.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. Which insurance plans are in network is still being verified, so plan on paying cash until the office confirms your plan.

Ask for every charge in writing before you book. That means the first visit, monthly care, medication, lab work, follow-up visits, and what happens if you cancel.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Pamela Leach, APRN, is the only prescriber named, so ask whether she writes and adjusts your prescriptions and who you would see between visits.

Next, ask whether the semaglutide is brand-name or compounded, and which brand the office prescribes. Three brands are named, and the office does not say which one it uses.

Then ask the money questions. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication and what the medication costs on its own. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since its plans include lab monitoring. Ask how the dose is raised and how often you will be seen during that time.

Ask what the office will check on your current medications before you start. Ask whether the first visit can be by telehealth and whether later lab work must be done in person. Ask whether any supplements are part of the plan, since the practice links to a Shaklee shop.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care under one roof with cash-pay weight loss, hormone or peptide services, either in Lakeland or by telehealth, and you are willing to get every price in writing before you commit. If you need a published price or an insurance answer before you call, you will have to call and ask.
