About Mason City Wellness

What is Mason City Wellness?

Mason City Wellness is a hormone therapy practice at 423 4th St SW, Ste A, Mason City, IA 50401, with a medical weight loss program as its third service. It offers testosterone replacement therapy for men, hormone replacement therapy for women from perimenopause through the years after menopause, and medical weight loss. Samantha Smith, ARNP, NP-C, founded the practice and is the only prescriber named. Visits can be in person or virtual. Google lists it as a wellness center with a 4.7 rating from 3 reviews.

In its own words: "Personalized hormone therapy and medical weight loss programs designed to help you feel energized, confident, and like yourself again." The weight loss program is described as combining prescription medications with hormone optimization and support, but no specific weight loss medication is named.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service. The first consultation is listed as free, and the clinic also offers a free discovery call. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers financing, a membership plan or cancellation terms. Before you book, ask for the price of each visit, each lab panel and each medication in writing, and ask for the monthly total if you would be on an ongoing plan.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and who oversees your care. The weight loss program is described as physician-supervised in one place and nurse practitioner-supervised in another, and Samantha Smith is the only prescriber named. Its providers are listed as board certified, but no board is named, so ask which one.

Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, how often they are required, how to cancel, and whether there is a minimum commitment. Finally, confirm you have the right practice before you send payment or personal health details. The phone number is (641) 454-5961 and the website is masoncitywellness.com.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone care from a nurse practitioner in Mason City, in person or by video, and you are ready to pay for it yourself without a published price. If you want a physician overseeing your care or a named medication before you commit, get those answers in writing first.
