About Dr. Delphine Shannon, MD

What is Dr. Delphine Shannon, MD?

Dr. Delphine Shannon, MD is a wellness practice at 15429 O’Neal Road in Gulfport, Mississippi. The practice also appears under the name Dr. Shannon Wellness, and it says it has served Gulfport for the past 16 years. Dr. Delphine Shannon, MD is listed as a general practitioner who graduated from the USC Keck School of Medicine in 1999. Olivia Moran, PA-C also prescribes. The office phone is (228) 831-1785.

The practice offers four kinds of care: medical weight loss, hormone health, anti-aging treatment, and aesthetics. Hormone health covers bioidentical hormone therapy, testosterone, hormone therapy for women, menopause, and thyroid therapy. Sexual health treatments and a long list of cosmetic procedures, including Botox, Dysport, and chemical peels, make up the rest of the menu. Because most of the listed treatments are cosmetic, this is more accurately described as a practice run by a physician that offers medical weight loss and hormone care alongside aesthetics.

The weight loss program starts with a first visit with the doctor or PA, followed by a customized plan and follow-up visits every 1 to 4 weeks. The program lists body composition analysis, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, and FDA-approved prescription medication for patients who are medically qualified. The weight loss page names Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Phentermine, Qsymia, and Contrave.

This listing is for its Gulfport office at 15429 Oneal Rd.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. The practice is cash pay only. In its own words: "Dr. Shannon Wellness operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, and while our services are not covered by health insurance, your weight loss medications may be." Ask what your own plan would cost before you book, and ask whether that plan would cover the medication you would be prescribed.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which provider would sign your prescription, and whether the doctor or the PA would see you at each follow-up. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication. The clinic names brand-name medications but does not say whether any of its medication is compounded, so ask that directly.

Ask what each follow-up visit costs, since visits are scheduled every 1 to 4 weeks, and whether lab work or the body composition analysis is billed separately. Ask whether telehealth is available, since the clinic does not say, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a fee for the first consultation.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want care in person in Gulfport, can pay cash, and want a physician or PA involved in weight loss, hormone care, or cosmetic treatment. If you need insurance billing or care without an office visit, ask about those before you call.
