What is Bethesda Medical Clinic?
Bethesda Medical Clinic is a multi-specialty practice with offices in Marrero, Louisiana, and Cooper City, Florida. Most of its work is primary care, endocrinology, and oncology and hematology, with an on-site infusion center. Weight loss is one of its services. It has more than 20 years of experience. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.2 rating from 17 reviews.
The clinic names four prescribers on its team: Shibu Varughese, MD, and Amy Varughese, MD, an endocrinologist, along with Sushma Rawat, MSN, FNP-BC, and Evona L. Smith, DNP, FNP-BC.
The weight loss program covers medical evaluation, nutritional counseling, exercise plans, medical management, vitamin infusions and weight loss medications. The clinic describes its approach as covering nutrition, physical activity, appetite control, stress management and sleep. It does not name the medication it uses. The program is described as part of its Med Spa, and the clinic does not say whether that program is run as medical weight loss care in Marrero or in Cooper City. It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It also does not say whether weight loss medication is included in the program fee, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers telehealth. Hours are not listed, though its contact form is answered during business hours, Monday through Friday. Before booking, ask for a written quote covering the consultation, each follow-up visit, the medication and any lab work, and whether the program is billed monthly.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which of the clinic's prescribers runs weight loss care, and whether you will see that person or a colleague. Ask which medication is used and whether it is a brand-name drug or a compounded one, since that changes what you are paying for. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of it. Ask whether the program is run as medical weight loss care at the office you would visit, or as a Med Spa service. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum commitment. Finally, ask whether insurance covers any part of the visit and whether any part can be done by telehealth.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss care from a practice that also handles primary care and endocrinology, and you are willing to get the prescriber, the medication and the monthly cost in writing before you commit. It is not a match if you are looking for hormone or peptide therapy, which the clinic does not list.
