About Anti-Aging and Wellness Medicine

What is Anti-Aging and Wellness Medicine?

Anti-Aging and Wellness Medicine is a physician-led practice in Vero Beach, Florida, serving that town and nearby areas. Dr. Terry Carstensen, D.O., is the medical director and the only prescriber the practice names. The practice describes her as a board-certified osteopathic physician with twenty-two years of experience, and says she is board certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Its main focus is age management and hormone care. Listed services include bioidentical hormones, andropause and menopause treatment, an Ozempic weight loss diet, nutrition counseling, cardiovascular health, disease prevention and concierge medicine. It also offers Xeomin, Radiesse and Versa injectables, Neocutis skincare and a Plasma Pen treatment. In its own words: "Dr. Carstensen's passion is to prevent disease through bio-identical hormones, vitamin supplementation, nutrition and lifestyle."

The practice has one Google review, rated 5 stars. It does not publish a street address or office hours. The phone number is 772-453-3250.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish prices for any service, including the Ozempic program, hormone care, injectables or concierge medicine. The one cost it names is a complimentary wellness consultation with Dr. Carstensen, offered through its contact page. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether a weight loss program fee includes medication, or what concierge membership costs and how it cancels. Get every number in writing before you commit beyond the first visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescriptions. Dr. Carstensen is the only prescriber named, so ask whether she writes every prescription herself and who answers questions between visits. If the Ozempic program has a monthly fee, ask whether it includes the medication and, if not, what the medication costs each month. Ask whether it is a brand-name product or a compounded one. For hormone care, ask which hormones are prescribed, what lab work comes first and how often it is repeated, and what each lab and follow-up visit costs. Ask whether visits can be done by video, since the practice does not say. Last, ask for the office street address and hours before you pay.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one physician to oversee hormone care, a weight loss program and skin treatments, and you are willing to get prices and terms in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices, insurance billing or a street address before you book.
