About OptumMD

What is OptumMD?

OptumMD is a membership-based internal medicine practice with offices in Atlanta (Buckhead) and Alpharetta. Its listed services are concierge medicine, functional medicine, primary care, hormone replacement therapy, longevity medicine, brain health, cardiovascular health, obesity medicine, IV fluids and women's health. Virtual visits are listed as an option when a clinician judges them appropriate.

The prescribers named are Edward Espinosa, DO, MPH; Valerie Pershad, MD, IFMCP; and Diana Rodgers, MD. Dr. Espinosa is described as board-certified in internal medicine, Dr. Pershad as board-certified in internal medicine and functional medicine, and Dr. Rodgers as board-certified in family medicine.

Hormone care covers menopause, testosterone for men and thyroid disorders. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, levothyroxine and Clomid are among the medications named. Weight care is listed as obesity medicine, and no weight-loss medication is named. Peptide therapy is not among the services.

Longevity care centers on screening and prevention. In its own words: "Our physician-directed longevity program prioritizes preventative health through evidence-based medicine, advanced early screening, and deeply personalized assessments designed to identify risk before symptoms appear." Longevity care also lists optional add-ons, including a full-body MRI and a multi-cancer blood test.

This listing is for its Atlanta office at 91 W Wieuca Road NE, Suite 1000.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, a membership cost, commitment terms or whether the membership covers medication. Its first step is a booked discovery call, so ask whether that call is charged.

In its own words: "OptumMD’s premium concierge service in Atlanta, Georgia is an In-Network provider for many of the major insurance providers." It does not say whether that covers hormone or weight visits, so ask which visits your plan pays for and which fall under the membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for the membership fee in writing, how often it is billed, and what it covers. Ask which prescriber would manage your care. Ask whether any hormone or weight medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what lab work, follow-up visits and add-on scans cost outside the membership. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum term. Ask how long the practice has been open, since it does not say.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led membership practice with primary care, hormone, weight and longevity services in one place, and you can pay a membership fee on top of what insurance covers. If you need published prices before you call, this is not a clinic that publishes them.
