What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or any other service. It does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether any medication is included in a program, or whether memberships or financing are available. Ask for the full cost of the first visit and the monthly cost of any program in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes any hormone prescription, and whether that person is a physician, nurse practitioner or other licensed prescriber. Ask whether the weight loss program includes any medication. If it does, ask whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, and who fills it.

Ask what follow-up visits cost, and what the DUTCH, GI-MAP and other lab tests cost, including whether they are billed once or repeated. Ask whether the consultation fee is credited toward treatment. If you sign up for a monthly plan, ask how to cancel it and whether any fee applies. Ask whether any of the chiropractic visits are billed to insurance.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want chiropractic, spinal decompression, nutrition counseling or body contouring close to Port Charlotte, and you are comfortable confirming prices and prescribers in writing before you pay. If you need a physician to write a hormone or weight loss prescription, ask first, because the clinic does not name one.
