What is Galenus Group?
Galenus Group is a group medical practice built around adult primary care. Weight management is one of the services it lists, alongside annual physicals, diabetes evaluation and management, men's health, telemedicine and chronic care management. Its home office is in Lehigh Acres, Florida, and it also has offices in Saint Petersburg, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Tampa and Fort Myers. Appointments can be made at (239) 230-7087.
The weight management service is offered by a group of providers that includes Edgardo Castillo Nieves, MD, Luis Barata, NP, William Torrez, MD, and Marc McColleum, PA, along with other providers. Google shows a rating of 5 from 3 reviews, which is a small sample.
This listing is for its Naples office at 870 111th Ave N, Ste 3.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. No consultation fee or weight management program fee appears anywhere on its materials, and it does not say whether medication is included in any cost. It says it accepts all major insurance plans and asks patients whose plan is not listed to call for more information. Its home page also advertises Club 65, a 65+ concierge option for Medicare Advantage, but it gives no fee or membership terms. If you plan to pay cash, ask for the full price in writing before your first visit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription. The weight management service names several providers, so ask which one would prescribe any medication and who would follow you over time. Ask whether the program fee covers medication, and if it does not, what the drug costs each month. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded and which drug it is, since no weight-loss medication is named. In its own words: "Medication might play a role in your treatment plan, but drug therapy is never the sole approach." Ask what the first visit, follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether men's health includes hormone therapy, since the clinic does not say. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term. If you are considering telemedicine, ask whether follow-up can be done that way and at what cost. Hours are listed for each office and differ from one town to the next, so confirm the office and its hours before you go.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want primary care and weight management from one group of offices, and you are willing to get medication costs in writing before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need a posted price before you call, since none is published.
