About Upwell Medical Clinic

What is Upwell Medical Clinic?

Upwell Medical Clinic is a physician-led practice at 2949 Allegra Way in Lutz, FL 33559. Its main focus is primary care through internal medicine, with lifestyle medicine alongside it. The prescriber is Sirisha Tirthala MD, FACP. Her bio says she is board certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, that she also holds a certification in plant-based nutrition from eCornell, and that she worked as a hospitalist before starting her own private practice. The practice does not say when it opened. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 87 reviews.

Weight management is one of its services. The clinic describes it this way: "Personalized treatment plans to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight." It also lists obesity medicine, geriatrics, care for chronic diseases and Exomind™ Therapy. It does not explain what Exomind™ Therapy involves. Its healthcare news posts discuss tirzepatide, a weight-loss medication, but the clinic does not say it prescribes that drug.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. No consultation fee, medication cost, membership term, insurance policy or telehealth option is stated. The website has a Fees Structure section and an Insurance Info section, so ask for both before you book. The office can be reached at (813) 934-2959, and it keeps hours Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the medication. Ask whether the clinic prescribes tirzepatide or another weight-loss drug, and whether it would be the brand-name product or a compounded version. Ask whether any monthly program fee includes the medication or bills it separately. Ask what the consultation costs and whether you pay it if you decide not to start treatment.

Then ask about the rest of the bill. What do follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how often are they needed? Is telehealth offered, and is it priced like an office visit? Does the clinic accept insurance for any part of your care? Ask what Exomind™ Therapy involves and what it costs. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a notice period. Finally, ask whether Dr. Tirthala signs your prescriptions or whether another clinician does.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an internist to manage your primary care alongside weight management, and you are ready to ask about medication costs before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price list or telehealth before you call, since neither is stated.
