SOUTH BEACH MEDICAL ASSOCIATES

About SOUTH BEACH MEDICAL ASSOCIATES

What is South Beach Medical Associates?

South Beach Medical Associates is a family practice at 2100 Southeast Ocean Boulevard, Suite 202, in Stuart, Florida 34996. The phone number is (772) 252-5265. Some listings place it in Ormond Beach, but its own address is in Stuart, so confirm the address before you drive.

Its listed prescriber is Dr. Nevine Mahmoud, MD, MS, and the clinic describes its physicians as board-certified. The clinic's bio describes pediatric residency training and family medicine practice. Its main work is primary care for the whole family. Its listed services are pediatrics, adults and geriatrics, women's health, medical weight loss, behavioral health, work compensation, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Weight loss and BHRT are the two programs it describes in detail. In its own words: "We offer a wide range of medical weight loss programs."

For weight loss, a physician screens you in person before deciding whether you are a candidate for oral or injectable GLP-1 agonists. The clinic contrasts these in-person visits with online programs. The medicines it names include phentermine (generic Adipex), Ionamin, benzphetamine (generic Didrex), semaglutide (Ozempic and Rybelsus), tirzepatide (Mounjaro), Wegovy, naltrexone, Sermorelin and Lipo-Trim SL. It says it uses compounding pharmacies, which usually ship within 24 hrs on weekdays. For hormone therapy, it names Bi-est, progesterone and testosterone as its commonly used products.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or any other service, and it does not state a consultation fee. It says it accepts insurance, cash pay and concierge medicine, but it does not say whether medication is included in any price. For weight loss, you sign a contract under Florida law only if a stimulant is prescribed. Otherwise there is no binding agreement, and you can leave once you reach your goals or whenever you want to stop.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Mahmoud writes every prescription, and whether anyone else at the practice can prescribe for you. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic uses compounding pharmacies, and whether it is shipped to you or filled through the office. Ask what the monthly fee covers, and what the consultation, follow-up visits, lab work and monthly B12 injections cost separately. If you would rather not give yourself injections, ask whether the office gives them and what that costs. For hormone therapy, ask which products are used, how the dose is set, and which tests come first.

Telehealth is limited. In its own words: "Tele-Visits are eligible only for patients who have had an in-office visit with us before." Your first visit will be in person.

Its financial policy, charge policy, dismissal policy and controlled substance agreement are published. Read them before you book, and ask how cancellation works. Its hours are 08:00 am to 05:00 pm, but the days are not stated, so ask which days you can come in.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person weight loss or hormone visits with one physician, with family care in the same practice, and you are ready to pay cash for what insurance does not cover. It may not suit you if you need a firm price before you book, or if you want to start with a video visit, since telehealth requires an earlier office visit.
