About Natural Wellness Center

What is Natural Wellness Center?

Natural Wellness Center is a naturopathic and integrative medicine practice at 2752 Woodlawn Dr. #5-215 in Honolulu, in the Manoa Marketplace. Its main work is naturopathic medical consultations. The clinic describes its practitioners as doctors trained as primary care providers who use natural therapies alongside conventional care. In its own words: "We spend the time required to hear our patients concerns and always strive to address the source of their problems."

Its listed services are weight loss, IV therapies, anti-aging and bio-identical hormones, detox and cleansing, body sculpting, naturopathy and lab services. Two of these are the kind of medical service a cash-pay patient would weigh most carefully. One is a weight loss program the clinic describes as doctor supervised, combining appetite suppressants with a low calorie diet. The other is hormone therapy under its anti-aging heading. Peptide therapy is not on the list. Its Google listing, under the category naturopathic practitioner, shows one review with a rating of 1. Doctor's office hours are listed as 9am to 12pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The phone number is (808) 988-0800.

This listing is for its Kailua office at 305 Uluniu St Studio 104.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The weight loss consultation is listed as free, with a call to schedule it. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether any fee includes medication, or whether it offers HSA use, financing, membership terms or cancellation rules. Nothing is listed for lab tests, hormone therapy or the weekly reassessments either. Ask for a full price sheet before the first visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who prescribes. The clinic describes a group of doctors but does not name the one who would sign a prescription. Ask for that doctor's name and credentials before you book.

Next, ask what the appetite suppressant is. Is it a prescription medication or a supplement? Is it brand-name or compounded? Is it FDA-approved? The clinic's own disclaimer says the supplements it discusses are not FDA-approved, so the answer matters.

Then ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and what each weekly reassessment costs. The clinic lists IgG food allergy testing, urine and hair mineral analysis, salivary hormone tests and gastro-intestinal tests, but it does not say which are part of any program. Ask which tests are required and what each one costs. For hormone therapy, ask what labs come before treatment and what follow-up will cost.

Ask whether the clinic bills insurance, and whether any visit can be done by video or phone. The doctor's office lists mornings on three weekdays only, and remote visits are not mentioned.

The clinic also links to detox retreats and do-it-yourself cleanse programs. Ask whether any of those are run by the clinic and billed to you. Finally, ask how cancellation and refunds work, in writing, before you pay anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic or integrative consultation in Honolulu and are ready to get answers about the prescriber, the medication and the price in writing before you pay. Call first if you need a named prescribing doctor, a published price, insurance billing or remote visits, since none of those are stated.
