About VitalUty Wellness

What is VitalUty Wellness?

VitalUty Wellness is a clinic at 3555 Stone Creek Cir SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404. The phone number is 319-693-8800. Shannon Braslavsky, AGPNP-BC, leads the clinic and is the prescriber named. She is a board-certified adult-gerontology nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of healthcare experience.

The clinic describes itself as provider-led wellness care. Its services are provider-led weight loss, primary care, women's health, men's health, sexual health, hormone therapy, aesthetics, and a $30 telemedicine visit. The weight-loss program names semaglutide and tirzepatide as possible medications and says some patients may be candidates for prescription treatment. In its own words: "Medication is not required and is not right for everyone."

Telehealth depends on the service. Hormone creams and injections can be managed by telemedicine only for patients located in Iowa. Hormone pellets are placed only in person in Cedar Rapids. Weight-loss telehealth may be available in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Vermont, when care is appropriate and available in your state.

This listing is for its Cedar Rapids office at 3555 Stone Creek Cir SW.

What does it cost?

The telemedicine visit is $30, with no insurance or membership needed. That fee covers the visit only. Prescriptions, medications, testing, imaging, in-person services, and procedures are separate when they apply.

Weight loss has two pathways. If compounded medication is prescribed and obtained through its treatment program, the visit fee is waived and the medication is included in one total price. The clinic does not publish that total. If a name-brand medication is processed through insurance, the visit fee is $30, and your insurer and pharmacy set the medication cost. Laboratory testing is not part of the weight-loss visit, so there is no separate lab charge for it. Hormone care has separate lab costs, and pellet costs are separate and not published. No subscription or ongoing membership is required. The clinic names CareCredit and Cherry Financing among its patient resources but does not say how they apply to its fees. The consultation fee is not clearly stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the medication is compounded or name-brand. The clinic notes that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and that FDA does not review their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.

Ask for the total price of compounded treatment and what it includes. If you use insurance, ask what the medication will cost you after your plan and pharmacy. Ask whether there is a consultation fee, what follow-up visits cost, and what hormone labs and pellets cost. The clinic does not list hours, so ask when the office is open. Ask whether Shannon Braslavsky will be your prescriber, and whether your state and your service qualify for telehealth.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person care in Cedar Rapids, or if you live in Iowa and want hormone care through a $30 telemedicine visit. If you live outside Iowa and need hormone pellets, you would need to travel to Cedar Rapids for them.
