About Taochemy

What is Taochemy?

Taochemy is a cash-pay clinic at 814 W 17th Street in Kansas City, Missouri. The first service it lists is acupuncture, which it calls Taochemy Method Precision Needling. Its other services are peptide therapy, ketamine IV therapy, NAD+ infusion, IV vitamin infusion, weight management, hormone balance care, Team Health and gift certificates. Weight management and hormone care sit alongside the needling and infusions, so they are parts of the practice, not all of it. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.9 rating from 31 reviews.

Taochemy does not name a prescriber, and it shows no prescriber credentials. Stacy Tucker founded the practice and is described as a trauma nurse and nutritionist, but it does not say who writes prescriptions. Its weight management service names semaglutide and tirzepatide as injectable options and says the team chooses the approach after an assessment. The first visit includes a nervous system evaluation, a needling session and a personalized protocol.

This listing is for its Kansas City office at 814 W 17 St.

What does it cost?

Peptide therapy typically ranges from $200 to $600 a month, depending on your personalized protocol. Taochemy does not say whether the medication is included in that monthly price, so confirm it first. It does not publish a consultation fee or prices for its other services.

Peptide therapy is cash pay. In its own words: "Peptide therapy is considered elective/optimization medicine and is typically not covered by insurance." Taochemy does not say whether its other services take insurance, so ask about each one. It also does not mention HSA options, financing or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and what license that person holds. Since no prescriber is named, get the name and credentials in writing before your first visit. Ask whether the monthly peptide fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded.

Ask what lab work, follow-up visits and dose changes cost on top of the monthly fee. The weight management program runs over 90 days, so ask whether the price covers that full period. It also mentions patented nutrition supplements, so ask whether those are required and what they cost.

Ask whether the consultation is charged, how cancellation works and whether you sign a contract. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, and ask for office hours, since neither is published. Its weight management material also mentions Overland Park, so ask whether injections are given there or only at the Kansas City office.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Kansas City, want acupuncture, IV therapy or peptide care under one roof, and will not pay anything until you have the prescriber's name, the full monthly cost and the cancellation terms in writing. If you need a named prescriber before you book, call and ask first.
