About Evolve Medical

What is Evolve Medical?

Evolve Medical is a medical weight loss practice at 24 N Tarragona St, Pensacola, FL 32502, with telemedicine available alongside in-person visits. Weight loss is its main service. It also offers aesthetic services, which it names but does not describe, so ask about those separately if they matter to you. The clinic serves patients in Florida and Alabama, but it does not name cities or say which states telehealth covers.

The prescribers are nurse practitioners: Kaitlin Graye, APRN, FNP-C; Whitney Harper, APRN, FNP-C; and Angela Cobb, MSN, FNP-C, ENP-C. Kaitlin Graye is listed as licensed in Florida, Virginia, Alabama and Arkansas, and Whitney Harper in Florida. The weight loss program starts with an initial visit of about 60 minutes, followed by monthly 20 to 30 minute visits during weight loss and a minimum follow-up every 3 months during maintenance. The clinic also lists outside partners for mental health counseling, concierge physical therapy and psychiatric care. It has a 5 rating on Google from 276 reviews. In its own words: "Our priority is building strong patient-provider relationships."

What does it cost?

The initial consultation is $199, and each follow-up visit is $125. Those are per-visit prices. It does not say whether medication is included, and it does not publish a monthly program fee. It does not accept insurance for office visits and takes cash or card, not checks. Insurance can be used for prescriptions and labs done through the office, and a superbill is available if you want to seek reimbursement for the visit yourself.

Booking requires a credit card, but you are not charged unless you miss an appointment. A no-call or no-show costs $100, and so does a cancellation or reschedule with less than 24 hours' notice. That fee must be paid before you can rebook. Patients may be discharged after 3 no shows.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will prescribe for you. The clinic describes its patients as treated by an obesity medicine specialist, while the people listed as prescribers are nurse practitioners. Ask what training your prescriber has in obesity medicine.

Ask whether the $199 and $125 prices include medication, which drugs are used, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab work the first visit requires and what it costs when ordered in the office, since those charges are not published.

If you plan to use telemedicine, ask whether your state is covered, because the clinic does not say. If you are considering hormone therapy or peptide therapy, ask directly, since neither is listed among its services.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a medically managed weight loss program, can pay cash or card per visit, and are comfortable with nurse practitioners as prescribers. If you need hormone or peptide care, or you want your visits billed to insurance, get answers to those questions before you book.
