About Dr. Raymond J. Marquette M.D.

What is Dr. Raymond J. Marquette M.D.?

It is an obstetrics and gynecology practice at 1800 SE 17th Street, Suite 300, in Ocala, Florida. Dr. Raymond J. Marquette has been in private practice in Ocala since 1996, and he also serves as Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at AdventHealth. Most of the work is women's health care, including gynecological and obstetrical care, well woman visits, birth control, infertility and the Novasure procedure. Weight loss and hormone replacement therapy are two more services on the list. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

The office is open Monday and Thursday 8am to 4pm, Tuesday and Wednesday 8am to 5pm, and Friday 8am to 12pm. Hormone replacement starts with blood tests that measure the body's own hormone levels. Pellets are placed under the skin in the office and contain estrogen and testosterone. In its own words: "A compounding pharmacist, using strict federal guidelines, compounds the estrogen and testosterone used in the pellets."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or pellet hormone therapy, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether insurance is accepted or whether medication is included in any price. Its 3D and 4D ultrasound is for entertainment and is not covered by insurance. Ask for the numbers before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for Phentermine or Bontril and for the pellets. Dr. Raymond J. Marquette is the physician it names, but it does not say which provider prescribes weight loss medication or pellets, and it lists other providers as well.

Ask whether a monthly or program price includes the medication, and whether Phentermine and Bontril are brand-name or compounded. The pellets are compounded, but the page does not say how the weight loss medication is supplied. Ask what the blood tests, pellet visits and follow-up appointments cost. Ask whether it offers telehealth and how you cancel a program, since none of that is stated.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person care from a practice that does gynecology and obstetrics alongside weight loss and hormone therapy, and you are willing to call and confirm costs before you commit. Call 352-622-2229 to ask.
