What is MountainView Medical Group, Wellness and Weight Loss Center?
This is one office of MountainView Medical Group in Las Cruces, New Mexico, a group with many offices in that city. Its listed prescribers are Brian Welch, D.O. and Ashley Childs, DNP, FNP-BC, and both are listed under Bariatric Surgery. Most of its named services are surgical: bariatric surgery, general surgery, and anti-reflux surgery for GERD, which covers hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication. The only weight-loss service it names is weight management. One line describes medically assisted weight loss for patients with weight-related health conditions, but it does not say what that involves. It lists no hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine. Google lists it under weight loss services, with a 4.3 rating from 38 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether a monthly fee would cover medication, and it does not say whether it bills insurance. Ask for the cost of a first visit, the cost of the weight management program if one is offered, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of that. Ask whether it bills insurance too, since the answer changes what you would pay.
What should you ask before you book?
Which prescriber would write and manage any prescription, Brian Welch, D.O. or Ashley Childs, DNP, FNP-BC? Does the office prescribe GLP-1 medications? No GLP-1 medication is named in its listings. Does weight management here involve medication, or is it part of the surgical side? If medication is included, is it brand-name or compounded, and is it part of the fee? What do follow-up visits and lab work cost? Is telehealth offered, since that is not stated? How do you cancel, and is there a fee for doing so?
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a weight management consult in Las Cruces with one of the two listed prescribers, and you are ready to call first, because prices, medications and program details are not published. If you are looking for hormone, peptide or longevity care, it is worth calling only to ask whether it offers any, since none is listed.
