This listing is for its Caldwell office at 4605 Enterprise Way Ste 101.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, including for weight loss medication or a consultation. It also does not say whether medication is part of any price. It accepts many forms of insurance, and in its words, "We accept many forms of insurance, as well as self-pay and cash options," so cash pay is one route. Its menu includes a Pay with Care Credit option, which appears to be financing, and it takes online payments through a patient portal. Membership terms and cancellation are not listed.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the four prescribers would handle your weight loss visits, and who signs off on the prescription. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether the monthly price includes the drug itself. The clinic mentions an onsite pharmacy, so ask where the prescription would be filled and what it costs there. Ask what the clinic uses to decide who qualifies. It describes blood work as part of its evaluation, so ask what labs and follow-up visits cost on top of the visit. Ask which insurance plans it accepts and whether your plan covers weight loss medication at all. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether any membership term or minimum applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want walk-in urgent care, family medicine and a weight management visit in one office, and you are willing to get the full cost in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices before you call, or if you want a clinic that focuses only on weight loss.
