About Cura Wellness

What is Cura Wellness?

Cura Wellness is a medical weight loss clinic at 2406 N 12th Ave in Pensacola, FL 32503. Shakedia Pope, FNP-C, is the Family Nurse Practitioner who founded the clinic, and she is the only prescriber named. She has nearly 20 years of healthcare experience and has focused on obesity medicine since 2020.

Medical weight loss management is the main service. The clinic also offers nutrition and lifestyle support and ongoing accountability, which includes follow-up visits and progress monitoring. It names GLP-1s among its medications and says it uses FDA-approved oral and injectable treatments when appropriate. Visits can be in person or by telemedicine.

Hormone replacement, peptide therapy and preventive health services appear only as future plans, not as current care. Google shows a 5-star rating from 86 reviews, under the category weight loss service.

What does it cost?

The Initial Visit is $199 and each Follow-Up Visit is $125. Both are priced per visit. The clinic does not say whether medication is included in either price, and it publishes no medication prices, so the monthly cost is unknown from its materials. The Initial Visit covers a consultation, medical history review, medication options if appropriate, nutrition guidance and treatment planning. The clinic also offers a free 15-minute consultation to get started. It is not clear whether that call is the same thing as the $199 visit.

The clinic does not publish insurance information, financing options, or membership or cancellation terms. Call 850-292-0590 before you book and ask for those details.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the per-visit prices include medication, and if they do not, what a month of the medication you would be prescribed costs. Ask whether the GLP-1 medication is brand-name or compounded, and where it is filled. Ask what lab work costs, since the clinic orders labs when needed. Ask what each follow-up includes and whether monitoring between visits is extra. Ask whether the free consultation is the same as the $199 Initial Visit, and whether a telemedicine visit costs the same as an in-person one. Ask whether insurance is accepted at all, how you cancel if you stop, and which office hours apply, since the clinic lists different hours on two of its pages. Finally, ask how often you will see Shakedia Pope herself.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medical weight loss care from a nurse practitioner with an obesity medicine focus, you can pay per visit, and you want the medication cost confirmed before you start. It is not the right fit if you are hoping for hormone, peptide or longevity care now, since those are only planned.
