About E. Michael Health

What is E. Michael Health?

E. Michael Health is a cash-pay integrative wellness clinic at 16233 Kenyon Avenue, Ste 130, in Lakeville, Minnesota. It is built around testing before treatment. Its prescribers are Ellen Lynch, APRN, DNP, FNP-BC, Amy Pavelko, AGPCNP-BC, and Allison Gadient, APRN, DNP, FNP-BC. Hormone therapy is the first service listed. It offers bioidentical hormones as pellets, creams, troches or patches, for perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone and erectile dysfunction. The clinic also offers medical weight loss using GLP-1 medications with lifestyle coaching, clinical IV therapy, NAD therapy and advanced testing, including a WAVi brain assessment and ANS cardiac testing. Allison Gadient focuses on complex chronic illness such as Lyme disease, POTS and MCAS, and Ellen Lynch works with consulting physicians on the harder cases. It is open Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday by request. It does not say whether it offers telehealth. It has a Google rating of 5 from 93 reviews. Patients travel in from Apple Valley, Farmington, Burnsville, Prior Lake, Elko New Market, Rosemount, Savage and beyond.

In its own words: "We test, we don’t guess."

What does it cost?

E. Michael Health does not publish prices. It is cash pay only, and it accepts HSA and FSA cards for eligible services. It describes the consultation as carrying no obligation, but it does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. It lists a cancellation policy without stating the terms.

In its own words: "we’ll always tell you costs up front."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the GLP-1 prescription and who adjusts it from visit to visit, because the clinic does not name a GLP-1 prescriber. Ask whether a weight loss fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what labs, follow-up visits and retesting cost, and whether each is billed on top of the consultation. Ask the price of the WAVi or ANS testing, and whether you can book one test without joining a program. For hormone therapy, ask what each delivery method costs, such as pellets compared with creams, and what retesting adds. For IV therapy, ask which bags need labs first and what those labs cost. Ask whether follow-up can be done by telehealth. Ask for the cancellation terms in writing before you pay anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want testing before hormone, weight or IV treatment, you are ready to pay cash, and you want costs in writing before anything is ordered. If you need published prices or a clear answer on medication costs, call (612) 584-1145 first and get those numbers before you book.
