What is Manawa Family Medicine and Wellness?
Manawa Family Medicine and Wellness is a family medicine practice at 3502 Metro Drive in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Alongside family medicine, it offers weight loss, testosterone therapy and hormone therapy. Dr. Eyad Kakish, a board certified family physician, has been practicing medicine for more than 16 years. The other two prescribers are Wyatt Schmidt, PA-C, and Allison (Allie) McLendon, ARNP, FNP-BC.
For weight loss, the clinic names two medications, tirzepatide and semaglutide, and gets them from a 503B pharmacy. Its hormone therapy is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, which can be given as pills, injections, pellets, creams, gels or skin patches. Testosterone therapy can be given as injections, either in the clinic or at home after training, or as gels or pellets.
The phone line is (712) 256-7172. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
This listing is for its Council Bluffs office at 3502 Metro Dr.
What does it cost?
Weight loss medication is priced by dose for 4 weeks. Semaglutide runs from $40 for 4 weeks at the 0.25mg dose to $200 for 4 weeks at the 2mg dose. Tirzepatide runs from $200 for 4 weeks at the 2.5mg dose to $500 for 4 weeks at the 10mg dose. The 1-month follow-up visit is included in the monthly price. It does not say whether the medication itself is included. It does not publish a consultation fee, prices for its testosterone or hormone services, or whether it accepts insurance. Cash pay, HSA use and financing are not mentioned.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether the monthly price covers the medication or whether the drug is billed on top of it. Ask whether tirzepatide and semaglutide are brand-name products or compounded versions from that 503B pharmacy. Ask what the initial consultation costs and what lab work costs. The clinic asks weight loss patients to bring CBC, CMP and TSH results from their primary care doctor if the tests were done within the last year, and testosterone patients have scheduled blood draws. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether insurance is accepted for any service. Finally, ask whether a program has a commitment period and how to cancel.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live within reach of Council Bluffs, want in-person care from a family medicine practice, and are considering weight loss with tirzepatide or semaglutide, or hormone therapy, and are willing to get the cost and compounding answers before you book. If you are looking for peptide or longevity services, this clinic does not list them.
