About Suncoast Family Urgent Care & Wellness Center

What is Suncoast Family Urgent Care & Wellness Center?

Suncoast Family Urgent Care & Wellness Center is a family medicine and urgent care practice in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. No street address is published, so call (941) 867-2560 to confirm where the office is. The clinic describes itself as a new medical practice, and Google lists it at 4.6 from 107 reviews. Its listed hours are 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday through Friday and 8:00am to 5:00pm Saturday, with Sunday closed.

Dr. Barbara L. Bakus, DO, ABIHM is the only prescriber the clinic names. Its site describes her as a board certified family physician who is also board certified in integrative holistic medicine. It says she completed an integrative medicine fellowship with Dr. Andrew Weil at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, and that she is MAT certified in addiction medicine.

The clinic offers urgent care, family medicine, integrative medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, osteopathic treatment, addiction medicine, IV therapies, aesthetic services with neurotoxins and dermal fillers, home visits, and weight loss. Weight loss is one service alongside the rest. Its weight loss program uses tirzepatide (Zepbound) with coaching, nutrition guidance, weekly follow-ups, regular check-ins with licensed medical providers, and on-site lab work. Evening and weekend appointments are offered.

What does it cost?

The weight loss page lists tirzepatide starting at $99 a week. It does not say whether that figure covers the medication alone, the visits, or both. It does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance for weight loss care. It says, "A medical consultation is required to determine eligibility." It does not give a price for that visit. It also does not mention membership terms, financing, or how to cancel.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who prescribes. The weight loss page names no one for that program, so ask which provider signs the tirzepatide prescription and makes dose changes. Ask whether the $99 weekly price includes the medication, and what the consultation, each follow-up, and each round of lab work cost on top of it. Ask whether the medication is brand-name Zepbound or a compounded tirzepatide, and where it is filled.

Ask whether it takes your insurance or an HSA card, how cancellation works, and whether there is a minimum number of weeks. Telehealth is not mentioned, although home visits are listed, so ask whether follow-up check-ins can be done by video. Finally, one blog post on the website describes chiropractic adjustments and refers to the clinic's chiropractors, but chiropractic care is not on its service list. Ask who would provide it, if anyone.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person family medicine and urgent care practice that also runs a tirzepatide program, and you are ready to book a consultation before committing to weekly fees. If you are looking for hormone therapy or peptide therapy, the clinic does not list either, so call and ask before you assume it offers them.
