About Desoto Family Care Clinic

What is Desoto Family Care Clinic?

Desoto Family Care Clinic is a family medicine practice at 346 Stateline Road West in Southaven, Mississippi. Its main work is primary care for patients of all ages, including routine checkups, urgent visits and same-day lab results. It names Diosan Powell, FNP and Thitiporn Whaley, NP as its prescribers. Its services include diabetes care, chronic disease management, hypertension management, well woman care, physical and annual exams, COVID-19 testing, monoclonal treatment and DOT physicals.

Weight management is one of its services, not its main business. Its program includes testing, nutrition advice and possible supplements, but it does not name a weight-loss medication. In its own words: "Our medical weight management programs are completely customized to the unique needs of your body." The team includes staff who are fluent in Spanish, Tagalog and Cebuano and proficient in sign language. Google shows the clinic at 4.5 stars from 713 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, consultation fees or the cost of its weight management program. It says it accepts most insurance plans and offers CareCredit financing, along with membership options for individuals and families without insurance. It does not describe what those memberships include, what they cost or how to cancel. It also does not say whether medication is part of any price. Call (662) 510-5353 and ask for these details before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription. Ask whether it would be Diosan Powell, FNP or Thitiporn Whaley, NP, and whether the weight management program includes any prescription medication. If it does, ask which medication it is, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether the monthly fee covers it. The clinic requires a one-on-one consultation before recommending any treatment, so ask whether that visit has a fee and whether insurance covers it. Ask what the testing panel costs, since the program starts with one, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost after that. Ask whether any part of the program can be done by video or phone, since it does not say. Finally, ask how a membership is canceled and whether it requires a contract.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family doctor's office that also runs a weight management program, and you are willing to get prices and prescription details in writing before you start. If you are looking for a clinic built around one specific weight-loss medication, call first, since it does not name one.
