About Vitality Medicine

What is Vitality Medicine?

Vitality Medicine is a medical practice in Ocala, Florida, with a second office in Summerfield. It has offices in Ocala and The Villages / Summerfield. Its foundation is in ophthalmology. The prescriber named is Dr. Alethia Pantazis, M.D., a board-certified ophthalmologist who also specializes in anti-aging, regenerative medicine, cosmetic eyelid surgery and sexual wellness. Google lists the business as a medical spa. Most of what it offers is eye care or cosmetic work: eye exams, dry eye treatment, eyelid surgery, Botox and fillers, PRP, skin resurfacing, and body treatments such as Emsculpt Neo and TempSure Firm.

Weight and hormone care is one part of that list. The clinic offers "Weight & Body composition optimization" and "Bio-Identical Hormone evaluation & optimization." In its own words: "Our medically guided weight management programs are tailored to your body, lifestyle, and goals." It also lists wellness work such as cardiovascular health evaluations, allergy testing and immune support. Peptide therapy does not appear among its services.

This listing is for its Ocala office at 1317 SE 25th Loop Ste 100 and 101.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any program, and it does not name a weight loss medication. It gives no membership or program terms, so there is nothing posted about monthly fees, length of commitment or cancellation.

On insurance, it says it accepts Medicare, Aetna, Humana, Cigna and other private insurance, and it asks patients to call for the full list. That does not tell you whether a weight or hormone visit would be billed to insurance. Ask which visits would be covered and which would be paid in cash.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription. Visits are with "licensed providers" in Ocala or The Villages, so ask whether Dr. Pantazis prescribes or whether another provider does, and what that provider's credentials are.

Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication. If it does not, ask what the medication costs on top. Ask whether the hormone or weight loss medication is brand-name or compounded, and which one you would start on.

Ask what the consultation, lab work and follow-up visits cost, and whether any of them are billed to insurance. Ask whether follow-up can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask how you cancel and whether there is a minimum commitment. Listed office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 4:00pm, so ask which office and which days you would be seen. You can call 352-804-2397 to put these questions to the clinic before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight or hormone care from a practice that also handles eye care and cosmetic treatments, and you are willing to call and get prices and medication terms in writing before you commit. It is less suited to you if you need posted prices or telehealth before you decide, since the clinic does not publish either.
