About OBGYN Specialists of North Florida

What is OBGYN Specialists of North Florida?

OBGYN Specialists of North Florida is a women's health practice at 111 Nature Walk Pkwy. Unit 107, St. Augustine, FL 32092. Its core work is gynecology, and its listed services are Annual Well-Woman Exams, Fertility & Reproductive Health, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Procedures, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Medical Weight Management, and Aesthetics. Weight loss is one of six services, not the main focus.

Dr. Lina Fouad, M.D., FACOG, DABOM is the physician. Heather Tarno, APRN, FNP-BC is a nurse practitioner, and the practice says she is now accepting new patients for preventive visits, screenings, and gynecologic concerns. The practice is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and closed on weekends. The phone number is (904) 800-7613. It has a 5-star rating on Google from 54 reviews.

The practice does not name any medication. It also does not say which clinician runs the weight loss program, so ask.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether a weight loss plan includes medication. It says it accepts insurance, in its words: "We proudly participate with most major commercial insurance plans." It does not name which plans. If you plan to pay out of pocket for weight loss or hormone care, call and get the full figure before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and manages a weight loss prescription. The practice does not say whether that is Dr. Fouad, Heather Tarno, or someone else.

Ask which medication would be used, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. The practice names none, so you will need the answer before you commit.

Ask whether a monthly fee, if there is one, includes the medication. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed to insurance or paid in cash.

Ask whether telehealth is offered. The practice does not say.

Ask how you cancel, and whether you are locked into a program or a set number of months.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want gynecology, hormone, or weight loss care in St. Augustine from a physician or nurse practitioner, and you are willing to call and get the full cost before you book. It is a poor fit if you need prices posted online before you pick up the phone.
