About Candescent Health and Wellness

What is Candescent Health and Wellness?

Candescent Health and Wellness is a medical wellness practice at 2104 Ironwood Circle, South Bend, IN 46635. It serves Granger and surrounding areas. Its services run from medical weight loss and menopause care to hormone testing, sexual health, gynecology, incontinence care, body contouring, aesthetics, IV therapy, acupuncture, mental health services and general health. Much of the list centers on women's health, though the clinic cares for men and women in Michiana.

The two people named as prescribers are Claire Walker, MSN, CNM, and Margaret Gerwels, MSN, FNP-BC. Kelli Bolling is listed as Patient Experience Lead, which is a staff role and not a prescriber. The clinic has 4.9 stars on Google from 69 reviews. It does not list office hours or say how many years it has been open.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Nothing published says what the medication costs or whether it is included in any monthly fee. The only pricing language is this sentence: "Claire Walker, MSN, CNM, offers complimentary consultations and ongoing care customized to meet your unique needs." So the first consultation is free. What ongoing care costs is not stated.

The clinic has an insurance listing, but it does not say which plans it takes, or whether it takes any. Nothing is said about HSA use, financing, membership terms or cancellation. Ask about each of these before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will write your prescription and manage your care, Claire Walker or Margaret Gerwels. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication or whether the drug is billed on its own. Ask whether the product is the brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic, or a different version, and where it is filled. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether those are billed separately.

Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurance and, if it does, which plans. The clinic offers a Virtual Consultation option, but it does not make clear whether ongoing visits can be done by video, so ask that too. Finally, ask how you cancel and whether there is a fee for doing so.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a medical weight loss program led by a named nurse-midwife or nurse practitioner in South Bend, and you are willing to get prices, medication details and cancellation terms in writing before you pay. If you need a published price list or posted hours before you call, you may find this clinic harder to plan around.
