About Melissa Parra CNP, LLC

What is Melissa Parra CNP, LLC?

Melissa Parra CNP, LLC is an integrative medicine practice run by Melissa Parra, CNP, the only prescriber named. Her listed credentials are Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Herbalist, and she describes herself as a Bio-Identical Hormone Consultant. She says she has been in the medical field for over 35 years.

The main services are weight loss and hormone balancing. Weight loss care includes injections for Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda and Zepbound, along with the oral medicines Contrave, Xenical and Phentermine. Hormone consultations cover topical gels, oral capsules, patches, injections, troches, hormone suppositories and sublingual drops. Most of the rest of the menu is testing, including blood, saliva, stool and genetic tests, heart and brain panels, and an InBody 230 body composition scan. Vitamin injections and herbal medicine are also offered. Peptide therapy is not among the listed services.

The clinic lists its hours as Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8AM to 5:00PM. Tuesdays are administrative with variable hours, and Friday through Sunday it is closed. No street address or town is published. Google lists the practice as a medical clinic with a rating of 5 from 4 reviews.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. Its patient intake forms mention a fee schedule, but no figures are shown publicly. It also does not say whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA or financing. The first consultation is 1 hour long, but its fee is not given. Membership terms and cancellation rules are not stated either.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Melissa Parra personally writes your prescription, and who handles follow-up if she is not available. Ask whether the weight loss medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether it is included in the monthly price or billed separately.

For hormone therapy, ask which form she recommends and what lab work is needed before you start and during treatment. Ask what each lab test and follow-up visit costs. In its own words: "I often prescribe herbal remedies and supplements for them, taking into consideration what interactions they may have with medications they are currently on." Ask how she checks those interactions against your current medicines.

Also ask whether visits are in person only, since telehealth is not mentioned, and where the office is located. Finally, ask for the fee schedule in writing and how to cancel if you stop care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person care from one nurse practitioner with an integrative approach, and you are comfortable paying cash once you have the prices in writing. It is a poor fit if you need prices before you call, want telehealth, or need a clinic open on Fridays.
