About Alpha Medical Clinic and MedSpa

What is Alpha Medical Clinic and MedSpa?

Alpha Medical Clinic and MedSpa is a primary care and medical spa practice in Orlando, Florida, open since 1980. It describes itself as a primary care, urgent care and cosmetic practice, with medical weight loss as one of its services. The phone number is 407-380-1951.

Dr. F.V. Ello, MD, is the medical director and the only person named as a prescriber. The clinic describes him as a board certified medical doctor and general surgeon. In its own words: "The weight loss program here at Alpha is medically directed and overseen by our medical director who is a board certified MD and general surgeon."

New weight loss patients have a medical evaluation, a medical history review and a full body composition analysis. A monthly plan is then prescribed and dispensed at the end of the first visit. The plans use prescription medications and vitamin combinations. The only medications named are Botox and Dysport, which appear in its aesthetic list.

The rest of the menu leans toward cosmetic work. It offers B12 and B complex injections, laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, micro-needling, MesoTherapy, radio frequency fat reduction and skin tightening, chemical peels, vein treatment, and Restylane and Juvederm fillers. It also sells its own creams and skin care lines. Hormone therapy and peptide therapy are not among its services. No street address appears in its listing, and its most common service areas are Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties, with patients drawn from towns such as Kissimmee, Sanford, Melbourne and Daytona. Its Google listing shows a 4.3 rating from 66 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. Nothing states whether the monthly plan includes the medication, whether insurance is accepted, or whether financing or HSA payment is available. The only payment detail given is that it accepts most major credit cards. Laser hair removal is sold in packages that begin with 6 treatments, and the clinic recommends 12, so ask for the full package price before you start.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the weight loss prescription, and whether Dr. Ello sees you at each visit or another clinician does. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first visit, the body composition analysis, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and what the plan dispensed at the end of your first visit costs. Ask whether insurance is accepted and whether telehealth is available. Ask how you cancel a monthly plan or laser package, and whether unused treatments are refunded. Ask for the street address and office hours before you travel. If you want hormone or peptide therapy, confirm it is offered before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person weight loss care with a physician in charge, alongside primary care or cosmetic treatments in Central Florida, and you are willing to get prices and medication details in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for hormone therapy, peptide therapy or telehealth, none of which it names.
