What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight management or hormone therapy, and no consultation fee is listed. The weight program is described as including weekly GLP-1 and peptide doses, nutritionist-led education, goal-setting, and vital sign check-ins. It does not publish whether the medication is included in the program cost.
Payment is by HSA or FSA funds, and the clinic offers payment plans and financing. It does not publish whether insurance is accepted.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which doctor or nurse signs each prescription, and whether the weight program fee includes the GLP-1 medication. Ask whether that medication is brand-name or compounded, and what check-ins, lab work, and follow-up visits cost on top of the program. For hormone therapy, ask what a pellet insertion costs, how often pellets are replaced, and what the labs cost. Ask which states telehealth covers, since none are named. Finally, ask for the membership fee, how cancellation works, and whether insurance is billed at all.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want primary care and med spa services under one roof, you can pay out of pocket or with HSA, FSA, or financing, and you are comfortable getting prescriber names and prices in writing before you commit. If you need a published price before you call, call first and ask for it.
