About Advanced Surgical Technology

What is Advanced Surgical Technology?

Advanced Surgical Technology is a practice with offices in Mt. Vernon, Centralia, Herrin, Hoyleton and Carlyle, Illinois. Surgery, vascular care, aesthetics and primary care make up most of what it does. Its weight loss program, BioTe hormone therapy and peptide therapy are listed alongside those services, with an IV Bar as well. Dr. Udaya Liyanage, MD, founded the practice and is a board certified general and vascular surgeon.

The prescribers named for the practice are Abbey Dempsey, APN-BC, Kelsey Meyer, FNP-C, and Kylie Newcomb, APRN, FNP-BC, FNP-C, MSN. The clinic does not say which of them handles weight loss or peptide care. It says its peptide plans start with a consultation and lab review. Weight loss medications it names include Retatrutide, Tesamorelin, Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, AOD-9604 and CAG (Cagrilintide). In its own words: "At Advanced Surgical Technology, we offer peptide therapy, a medical approach that uses naturally occurring amino acid chains to influence specific functions in the body."

This listing is for its Mt. Vernon office at 3120 Veterans Memorial Drive.

What does it cost?

Weight loss peptide care starts with an initial consult and labs for $150. After that, the clinic prices ongoing packages to each treatment plan, and it does not publish those package prices. It does not publish prices for its other peptides or for BioTe hormone therapy. It does not say whether medication is included in the package, whether insurance is accepted, or what membership terms and cancellation look like. Call 618-262-0620 and ask for the package price before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which named prescriber will manage your weight loss care, and whether a physician is involved. Ask whether the package price includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand name or compounded. Ask what each weekly visit costs, and what follow-up and lab work cost after the first $150. Weight loss patients come to the clinic each week for nurse-given injections, so ask whether any visits can be done by video, since the clinic does not say. Ask which office offers weight loss care. Its program is described for Mt. Vernon, Carlyle, Marion and Centralia, and Herrin and Hoyleton are not named. Its listed hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so confirm that a weekly visit fits that window. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether you can stop partway through a package.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near one of its offices, can come in weekly on weekdays for injections, and want the medication and package price answered in writing before you commit. If you need telehealth or a published price list, ask first, because the clinic does not say it offers either.
