About Corva Medical

What is Corva Medical?

Corva Medical is a cash-pay clinic at 7025 Hickman Rd, Suite 5, in Urbandale, Iowa. Its main work is medical weight management and hormone care. It also offers men's health, women's health, Biote hormone pellet therapy, peptide therapy, injectable therapies and same-day express care. The prescriber named is Yaovi Tony Gbogbo, DNP, whose doctoral degree is from the University of Iowa. The practice operates under Gbogbo Integrative Medicine PLLC, and the phone number is (515) 474-7912.

Weight management uses semaglutide and tirzepatide, which the clinic describes as compounded versions of the same active ingredients in Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. It also offers phentermine, which it calls FDA-approved. Patients in Iowa and Nebraska can begin by telehealth, with in-person follow-up in Urbandale when helpful. Appointments run Monday to Friday, 4 to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 1 to 5pm. The clinic does not state how many years it has been open. It has a Google rating of 5 from 5 reviews.

In its own words: "Most clinics are built around handoffs. Corva is built around continuity."

This listing is for its Urbandale office at 7025 Hickman Rd #5.

What does it cost?

A new patient consultation is $60 and includes baseline labs. Quarterly follow-up with monitoring labs is also $60. Semaglutide bundles begin at $185 a month for months 1 to 3 and $230 a month for months 4 to 6. Tirzepatide bundles begin at $275 a month and $375 a month for the same two phases. Phentermine is $89 a month, and Express Care is $65 per visit. Peptide medication starts at $129 a month, and injectable therapies start at $30.

The clinic does not say whether bundle prices include the medication. It does not publish Biote pellet prices, saying those are reviewed after an evaluation. The men's and women's health pages list a starting price of $185 a month without saying what it covers. The clinic is cash-pay with no insurance billing, and it does not publish membership cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the bundle price includes the medication, and if not, what the medication costs each month. Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is the compounded version the clinic describes, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask who writes and signs your prescription and whether you will keep the same provider through follow-up. Ask what follow-up and monitoring labs cost beyond the $60 quarterly fee, and what a pellet course costs all in. Ask how you cancel a monthly plan and whether there is a notice period. If you are considering peptide therapy, ask in writing whether it qualifies for HSA or FSA reimbursement, since the clinic does not state an answer.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are an adult in Iowa or Nebraska who wants cash-pay weight-management or hormone care, prefers one provider over time, and is willing to get bundle contents and cancellation terms in writing before paying. It is less suited to you if you need insurance billing or emergency care, which it does not provide.
