What is Indian River Health Center?
Indian River Health Center is a chiropractic, functional medicine and acupuncture practice at 1880 37th St., Ste. 1 in Vero Beach, Florida. Weight loss and hormone therapy are among its services, alongside same-day X-rays, spinal decompression, PEMF therapy and facial acupuncture. It has a 4.8 rating on Google from 90 reviews.
Dr. Ryan D. Hess, DC, CVSMT, CoAC, bought Indian River Chiropractic in 2014. Dr. Kyung (Kay) Lee is the acupuncturist. Neither is named as a prescriber. The prescriber for the weight loss and hormone services is Andrea Machado, FNP-BC, a nurse practitioner who heads the primary care services and maintains both New York and Florida licenses. Her bio says she typically handles weight loss injections and hormone replacement therapy. The weight loss service names Wegovy and Semaglutide. The clinic offers telemedicine, but it does not say which visits can be done by video. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, with Saturday by appointment from 9am to 12pm.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy. It does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not say whether any price includes the medication. The only posted prices are for X-rays: $150 per region for a large body part and $105 per region for a small one, with no insurance needed.
Indian River Health Center accepts most health insurance and car insurance for covered therapies. On weight loss, it says: "Coverage can vary depending on your individual plan, yet Semaglutide is typically covered by insurance." It does not publish membership or cancellation terms.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes your prescription and whether your first visit is with Andrea Machado. Ask whether the weight loss price includes the medication. Wegovy and Semaglutide are both named, so ask which one you would receive and whether it is brand-name or compounded. For hormone therapy, ask which hormones are prescribed and what medication is used, since no product is named.
Ask what the lab work costs, since the prescription depends on it. Ask what follow-up visits cost, whether video visits are priced differently, and how cancellation works, including whether there is a fee. Get the answers in writing before you pay.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss or hormone care in Vero Beach alongside chiropractic, acupuncture or same-day X-rays, and you are comfortable asking for every price in writing before you book. If you need posted prices for the medication itself, expect to call first.
