About Sarasota Wellness, MD

What is Sarasota Wellness, MD?

Sarasota Wellness, MD is a physician-run wellness practice at 5573 Marquesas Circle, Sarasota, FL 34233. The phone number is (941) 922-4264. Google lists it as a family practice physician and gives it 4.9 from 39 reviews. The practice describes itself as a medical home for functional medicine and wellness care. Its services include medication for weight loss, bio-identical hormone therapy, and peptide therapy, along with thyroid and gut health care, IV nutrition, specialty labs, supplements, and procedures such as Morpheus8 microneedling and Votiva radiofrequency treatment.

Two physicians prescribe. Dr. Dana Fabiani, MD, FAAMFM, ABAARM, is the founder and owner and is board-certified in family medicine and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Jessica Teav, MD, is board-certified in family medicine. The weight loss medications named are semaglutide and tirzepatide, and the practice works with several compounded pharmacies. The office is open Monday and Wednesday from 7:30am to 4:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 4:30pm, and closed Friday through Sunday. It does not say when it opened or whether it offers telehealth.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee. The clinic runs two payment models. In its own words: "We are now offering a concierge model with Dr. Fabiani (package pricing) and continue to offer a fee for service model with Dr. Teav (Pay per visit)."

Concierge patients commit to annual, quarterly, or monthly payment plans. Fee-for-service patients pay in full at checkout. The clinic is cash-pay only and does not bill insurance for visits. It may submit labs to insurance on request, and it adds that some out-of-network reimbursement may be possible if you check with your insurer first. It does not publish a consultation fee.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and whether that will be Dr. Fabiani or Dr. Teav. Ask whether the concierge or monthly fee includes the medication, whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, and which compounding pharmacy fills it. Ask the cost of a consultation, of each fee-for-service visit, of the InBody body composition check, and of follow-up lab work. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth.

Ask how cancellation works. The concierge terms state that dues unpaid for 3 months, with no attempt to contact the practice, can result in dismissal from the practice and loss of any right to future care from its providers. Ask what happens to prepaid months if you stop early.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led care for weight loss medication, hormone therapy, or peptide therapy, and you can pay cash on a monthly, quarterly, annual, or per-visit basis. Get the prices in writing before you book. It may not suit you if you need insurance billing or cannot confirm the medication cost ahead of time.
