About Slim Medical Clinic

What is Slim Medical Clinic?

Slim Medical Clinic is at 955 Pierremont Road, Suite 300, in Shreveport, Louisiana. The clinic calls itself a MedLounge, and most of what it offers is aesthetic: IV hydration, skincare, laser treatments, Botox, dermal fillers, permanent makeup, and an esthetician menu of facials, brows and lashes. Its medical side covers primary care and family medicine, medically monitored weight loss, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, and peptide injections. The clinic is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Wednesday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, and closed on weekends. The phone number is 318-606-2941.

The clinicians named as prescribers are Dr. Tri Pham, M.D., whom the clinic describes as a board-certified family medicine physician, Dr. Faraz Alwani, M.D., whose specialty the clinic describes as hormone therapy replacement and wellness, and Loren Carscadden, APRN, FNP. The clinic does not say which of them manages the weight loss injections. Its Google rating is 5 from 87 reviews. It does not say how long it has been open or whether it offers video visits.

What does it cost?

The consultation fee is $50, waived if you receive treatment the same day. Peptide injections are $125 per injection on the weekly payment plan at the starting dose, or $450 for a monthly package of 4 injections at the starting dose. The clinic does not say whether the medication is included in those prices. It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, for its medically monitored weight loss program apart from those injections, or for IV hydration.

Aesthetic prices are published. A relaxing facial is $100, a Hydra-Facial is $130, dermaplaning is $160, and chemical peels run from $175 to $395.

It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not mention HSA or FSA cards. The payment options it names are CareCredit, a health credit card that lets you pay over time, and Cherry financing, which gives an instant decision on approval. Membership terms and cancellation are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for your weight loss injections, since the clinic does not say which of its clinicians manages them. Ask whether the $125 injection or the $450 package includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. The lipotropic injections are described as containing B6 and B12, so ask exactly what is in each shot. Ask what you pay if you book a consultation and do not start treatment that day, and whether any visit can be done by video.

For hormone therapy, the clinic offers this in its own words: "Long gone are the days of creams, patches, and pills, as we prefer to use a natural alternative to synthetic hormones." Ask what that alternative is, who prescribes it, and what monthly labs, follow-up visits and refills cost. Ask how a monthly package is cancelled, whether any part is refundable, and what happens to a CareCredit or Cherry balance if you stop treatment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want aesthetic treatments and medical visits in one place, you are paying cash or with financing, and you are willing to ask the prescriber directly what the medication is and what follow-up costs before you pay. If you need insurance billing or a published price for every program, call first and get those answers in writing before you book.
