What is Northwest Family & Functional Medicine?
Northwest Family & Functional Medicine is a functional and naturopathic medicine practice at 1232 Whitefish Stage Road in Kalispell, Montana 59901. The phone number is 406-751-6833. Dr. Julie Barter, ND, practices there and works with patients of all ages. Keyna Schlup, MD, is medical director and helps with the management of complex cases. Both are named as prescribers.
Weight loss is one service among many. It offers semaglutide and tirzepatide injections once weekly in the office, and names Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound as brand names. It also names phentermine. Its hormone options include testosterone replacement (TRT) and EvexiPEL hormone pellets. Its peptide and booster options include Sermorelin, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, BPC-157 and NAD. The rest of the service list covers IV therapies, Lyme and mold care, PRP, exosomes, B12 shots, Skinny Shots and an on-site psychiatrist. It serves the Flathead Valley and surrounding regions. On Google it has a 4.4 rating from 13 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It does not say whether medication is included in any program fee, whether insurance is accepted, or whether telehealth is offered. It does not list hours. Before you book, ask for the consultation fee, the monthly cost of the program, and the cost of each lab draw and follow-up visit, all in writing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide you would receive is brand-name or compounded. The clinic names the brands but does not say which one is dispensed. Ask who writes and signs the prescription, Dr. Barter or Dr. Schlup. The weight loss section says a growth hormone peptide, Sermorelin or CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, is required for patients who cannot commit to its exercise goals. Ask whether that peptide is billed separately and what it costs. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether the "touch ups" after reaching goal weight are charged separately. Since the weekly injections are given in the office, ask whether any follow-up can be done by telehealth. Its hormone pellets come from Farmakeio, a compounding pharmacy, so ask how often pellets are replaced and what that costs. Finally, ask how a program is cancelled, because no terms are published.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want GLP-1 injections given in an office rather than at home, or if you want weight loss, hormone and peptide care under one roof and are ready to get the full cost in writing first. It is worth calling once you have the answers to the cost questions above.
