About Elevate Wellness KC

What is Elevate Wellness KC?

Elevate Wellness KC is a wellness and aesthetics clinic at 8725 Rosehill Rd, Ste# 107, Lenexa, KS 66215. It is now doing business as Respira Wellness KC, at the same address. Its services include Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, IV therapies, infrared and red light therapy, hormone replacement, intramuscular injections and weight loss injections. Weight loss is one service among many, not the whole practice. The weight loss injections named are semaglutide and tirzepatide. In its own words: "We offer the popular weight loss injections alone or in conjunction with other injections, infusions, red light, and infrared light therapy."

The only physician named is Dr. David Whitmer, listed as Medical Director. His bio says he completed a residency at Truman Medical Center (now University Health) in 2013 and holds board certification from the American Board of Emergency Medicine. Beside his name the clinic lists ASKP (American Society of Ketamine Physicians). The weight loss program does not name who writes its prescriptions. Fernanda Whitmer is listed as a licensed esthetician and is not a prescriber. Google shows a 5 rating from 12 reviews.

What does it cost?

Weight loss injections are priced monthly. Semaglutide is $400 a month without membership and $550 a month with membership. Tirzepatide is $650 a month without membership and $800 a month with membership. Membership includes 2 B12 shots and 2 Beautiful you IV bags per month, plus four 20 minute infrared and red light therapy sessions. The monthly price does not say whether the medication itself is included.

Other listed prices include a chemical peel at $120, a Myers Cocktail at $150, Botox at $15 per unit, NAD+ at $300 for a 90 minute infusion, Juvederm fillers at $600 to $800, and ketamine mood infusions at $350 for 40 minutes. A 10% discount is available for military, first responders and health care providers. It does not publish a consultation fee or membership cancellation terms, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the weight loss prescription and who reviews your lab work. Ask whether the $400 or $650 monthly price includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand name or compounded. Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost, since neither is priced. Ask whether the consultation is charged and whether that fee counts toward treatment.

Ask whether the injections are self-administered at home or given at the office each week, since the program can work either way. Ask how a membership is cancelled and whether any part of the monthly fee is refunded. Ask whether telehealth is offered and what hours the office keeps, since neither is published. Finally, ask which business name the agreement will be signed under, since Respira Wellness KC is now the name in use, and which phone number to call, since two appear: (913) 249-2420 and (816) 806-4969.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want cash-pay weight loss injections, IV therapy or skin treatments in Lenexa, and you are ready to have the prescriber, the medication cost and the cancellation terms in writing before you pay. It is not the right fit if you need insurance to cover any part of your care.
