Shawnta Gandy, FNP-C, is the provider. She has served in the healthcare field for 14 years in various capacities. The practice mentions a collaborating physician but does not name one.

It includes no copays and no deductibles.

In its own words: "As a patient at Core Metabolix, you pay your doctor directly just like you pay a gym membership."

Weight management is fee for service, and the practice does not publish prices for it. It does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. All care is paid in cash.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes your prescription. The practice names Shawnta Gandy as its provider and mentions a collaborating physician without naming one, so ask who that physician is and who signs.

Ask whether a membership fee covers any medication and, if not, what each one costs. The practice offers several medications without naming them. Ask which ones, and whether each is a brand-name drug or a compounded one. It also lists a Core Lipotrophic Injectable and IV/IM vitamin infusions as services, so ask what each one is and what it costs.

Ask what lab draws, metabolic testing and follow-up visits cost, and whether any of them fall under the membership. The metabolic test requires a 4 hour fast beforehand.

Ask how a membership is cancelled and whether there is a notice period. It does not publish cancellation terms.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a membership paid in cash with a named provider, and weight management is one part of that care. If you want weight management prices before you book, call 601-258-8551 first, since the practice does not publish them.
