This listing is for its Ocala office at 1405 SW 6th Ave.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It works outside insurance. In its own words: "By working outside the limitations of insurance, we’re able to provide more time, more options, and a deeper level of attention to your health."
It does not say whether medication is included in any price, or which payment methods it accepts. Ask for every figure in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Cindy Lombard writes every prescription, and who handles follow-up between visits.
Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication. Ask whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, and which version you would receive if you start semaglutide or tirzepatide.
Ask whether retatrutide is available to you now, since the blog says it is not yet available outside clinical trials.
Ask what the consultation, lab work and follow-up visits cost. Ask whether HSA cards or financing are accepted.
Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a commitment period. Ask about office hours and whether telehealth visits are offered, since neither is published.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying out of pocket, want hormone or weight care from one named prescriber in Ocala, and are comfortable getting every price and medication detail in writing before you commit. If you need a published price list or a clear list of payment options, call first and ask for both.
