About Dr. John Hill, West Volusia Family & Sports Medicine

What is Dr. John Hill, West Volusia Family & Sports Medicine?

Dr. John Hill, West Volusia Family & Sports Medicine is mainly a family practice with a sports medicine focus. It has offices in DeLand and Orange City, Florida, and says it also serves Deltona, DeBary and surrounding Volusia County. Its Google listing is in the family practice physician category and shows a 4.4 rating from 258 reviews.

Dr. John M. Hill MD is listed as board certified in family medicine. Other physicians on the staff are Dr. S.

The practice offers preventative care and health maintenance, disease management, women's health, vaccinations and therapeutic injections, a weight loss program and concierge medicine. Of medical weight loss, hormone therapy, peptide therapy and longevity medicine, only weight loss appears among its services. Its weight loss program uses GLP-1 injections. In its own words: "Through the use of GLP-1 Injections for weight loss, and EMSculpt Neo for muscle building and fat elimination"

Separately, its wellness program describes diet and exercise planning from a family doctor, with monthly office visits.

This listing is for its Orange City office at 2865 Wellness Avenue.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss program, and it does not say whether GLP-1 medication is included in any price. It does not publish a consultation fee either.

The one price it does publish is its concierge membership, $3,000.00 annually from the date of payment. Members get emergency same-day appointments with an available provider, electronic prescriptions sent to the pharmacy (except controlled substances), lab collection at one of its offices, help with disability and parking paperwork and prior authorization, and discounts on aesthetic services. The membership details do not describe cancellation.

It says it accepts most insurance plans, but patients must confirm that their plan includes the provider. Its services list also says it is not accepting Affordable Care Act plans.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which clinician prescribes the GLP-1 medication. The weight loss program does not name one. The staff bios describe Dr. VanDemark as having completed fellowships in obesity medicine, but ask who signs the prescription and whether you will be seen by that person first.

Ask whether the medication is included in any fee, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether EMSculpt Neo sessions are billed separately, and how a membership or program can be canceled.

Two phone numbers appear. 386-774-0016 is the main line, and the weight loss program lists (386) 868-1964. Ask which one reaches the program. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the practice does not say.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family practice that also runs a weight loss program, and you are ready to get the price, prescriber and medication details on the phone before you book. If you need a published price or a named prescriber before you call, this clinic will leave those questions open.
