About CHANGING TIDES FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

What is Changing Tides Functional Medicine?

Changing Tides Functional Medicine is a functional and integrative medicine practice at 7085 Turner Rd, Rockledge, FL 32955. The practice describes its location as Suntree, between Rockledge and Melbourne, and says it serves Viera, Satellite Beach, Merritt Island and other Brevard County communities. It treats women and men for chronic conditions, from hormonal imbalance and stress to weight management and gut health.

Kelsey Leslie, APRN is the prescriber the practice names. The practice describes her as a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience in nursing. It offers four services: functional medicine, BHRT hormone replacement, weight loss and metabolic health, and pediatric care. Its consultations are described as 1-hour visits with lab review, and it sells vitamins and supplements from an in-office store or online. Virtual consultations are available for patients who cannot come to the office or who are sick. Google lists the practice at 4.9 from 43 reviews. In its own words: "Changing Tides offers care that is focused on the root cause, not just symptoms."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether any fee includes medication, or what a hormone or weight loss program costs each month. Call 321.895.3017 and ask for the cost of the first visit, the monthly cost of each program, and whether medication is billed separately.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes your prescriptions. Kelsey Leslie, APRN is the prescriber the practice names, so ask whether she sees you herself at each visit and who covers when she is away.

Ask whether the weight loss program includes medication and which medication it uses. The practice does not name it. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs each month.

Ask whether hormone therapy medication is included in its fee. Then ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since its consultations include lab review and labs may be billed on their own.

The practice says it has limited spots for new patients and keeps a waiting list, so ask how long the wait is.

If you are booking for a child, ask who sees pediatric patients and whether the same prescriber does.

Ask how a virtual visit is billed and whether it can lead to a prescription. Finally, ask how cancellation and rescheduling work and whether either one carries a fee.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one nurse practitioner to handle hormones, weight and metabolic health together, and you are ready to pay directly and get the costs in writing before you book. If you need a published price list or insurance billing before you call, this practice does not yet offer either.
