About Wellspring Clinic

What is Wellspring Clinic?

Wellspring Clinic is a physician practice at 2012 S Tollgate Road, Suite 207, in Bel Air, Maryland. Its main focus is pain management, with physical medicine and rehabilitation, primary care, addiction treatment, brain injury care, stroke recovery, spasticity and headache medicine alongside it. Medical weight loss is one of its services, supervised by Dr. Arene. Google shows the clinic at 4.6 from 158 reviews.

Nkiruka Arene, MD, is the medical director, board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and in pain management. Before opening this practice she was medical director of the stroke rehabilitation unit at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Rehan Khan, MD, is a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, and Immanuellin Delfin, NP-C, is a certified nurse practitioner. The weight loss program is tied to Dr. Arene, but no weight loss prescriber is named. No weight loss medication is named either. The medications named, Botox, Suboxone, Sublocade and Vivitrol, belong to other services. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and closed on weekends.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or any other service. The only cost stated is for the first visit, described as: "Free Confidential Consultation." Nothing says whether the monthly program fee includes medication, whether insurance is accepted, or whether financing or an HSA can be used. Ask for each figure before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which clinician writes the weight loss prescription. Dr. Arene is named as the supervising physician, but no prescriber is named for the program. Ask which medication the program uses, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and where it is filled. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and if not, what the medication costs each month.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost and whether they are billed separately. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a commitment period or a fee. Ask whether any part is billed to insurance and whether telehealth visits are available, since neither is stated. Two phone numbers appear for the office, 443-352-0933 for appointments and 443-371-9750, so ask which one reaches the weight loss team.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Bel Air, can make weekday daytime visits, and want weight loss care from a practice that also handles pain and primary care. If you need published prices, a named medication, or a clear answer on who prescribes before you commit, call first and get those answers in writing.
