What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a price for the MDOC program. It does not say whether the program fee includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers an HSA or financing. Call 318-212-2929 and ask about each of these before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the medication. The clinic names no weight-loss drug, so ask which medications the MDOC prescribes and whether each is brand-name or compounded. Then ask whether the program fee includes that medication or whether it is billed separately.
Ask who writes and monitors the prescription. Dr. Patterson-Rosen leads the MDOC, but ask whether she or another prescriber will see you. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, whether telehealth is offered, and how cancellation works. The office is staffed 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and after hours an answering service takes calls. Some online listings show a different street address, so confirm the location before you go.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want primary care for a chronic condition and a physician-led weight-loss program under one roof, and you are willing to get prices and medication details by phone before you commit. If you are looking for hormone, peptide or longevity care, the clinic names none of those services, so ask directly before you assume it offers them.
