About Thrive Medspa & Wellness

What is Thrive Medspa & Wellness?

Thrive Medspa & Wellness is a medical spa at 501 Islington St, Suite 2B, Portsmouth, NH 03801, and its phone number is (603) 496-8802. Its menu runs from aesthetic treatments such as CoolSculpting Elite, dermal fillers and HydraFacials to wellness services including IV therapy, NAD injections, functional medicine and a sauna. Its weight loss programs include semaglutide and HCG injections. It also offers hormone therapy for women and for men, testosterone replacement therapy and menopause treatment.

Dr. Nicole Schertell, ND, founded the practice, and Dr. Sarah Waterhouse is the other person named as a prescriber. Dr. Schertell's bio gives over 15 years in her field. It welcomes clients from Portsmouth, Rye and Greenland, NH, and surrounding areas including Kittery, York and Eliot, ME. Google shows a 4.7 rating from 151 reviews, under the category medical spa.

What does it cost?

Its medical weight loss programs run $100 to $500 a month. It does not say whether that price includes the medication. The natural weight loss program is priced at $500 to $2,500, and the total depends on program length, the treatments included and the level of medical guidance, with lab work and follow-up visits able to change it. It does not publish a consultation fee. It names financing options, including credit plans, monthly memberships and gift cards, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. It does not state commitment or cancellation terms for its programs.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly fee covers the semaglutide or the HCG, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask who writes the prescription and how often you will see a prescriber. On HCG injections it says, in its own words: "Patients can also receive these injections in our office if they wish." Ask whether office injections are billed separately. Ask whether the weekly check-ins it describes for its medical support are part of the price, and what lab work and follow-up visits cost. Ask whether telehealth is available, since it does not say, and what its hours are, since none are listed. Finally, ask how a membership or program is cancelled and whether there is a commitment period.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want aesthetic treatments and weight loss or hormone care from one clinic, you plan to pay out of pocket, and you are comfortable asking the questions above before a consultation. If you need a firm price for the whole program or want to know about telehealth, it is worth calling first.
