About Ascend Wellness MD
What is Ascend Wellness MD?
Ascend Wellness MD is a concierge medical practice for adults and children. It lists offices in Albany, New York, North Adams, Massachusetts, Saratoga Springs, and Florida, and members can reach their doctor by text, phone, or video. Weight management is one of its services, alongside hormone balance, peptides, and longevity planning.
Dr. Jackcy Jacob is the physician named as prescriber. The clinic calls its physician board-certified, with over 15 years in internal medicine and pediatrics, but it does not publish credentials next to Dr. Jacob's name.
The weight management program runs 9-12 months. In its own words: "By working with Dr. Jacob on your weight loss, a personalized plan will be developed that includes physician supervision, fitness coaching, nutrition coaching, bloodwork/labs, and (if appropriate) medications." Its online store lists tirzepatide and semaglutide by name. Google shows a 4.9 rating from 42 reviews.
What does it cost?
Membership starts with a 30-minute consult to see whether membership suits you, and the clinic does not publish a consultation fee. It lists a promotional membership rate of $45, normally $65, that includes fitness coaching, but it does not say what period that covers.
Additional weight loss medications range from $249 to $499 monthly based on dosage, discounted for concierge members. That range covers the medication itself. The store lists tirzepatide at $329 and semaglutide at $249, without saying whether those are monthly charges or whether a visit is included. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance or HSA payment. House calls are included for members and cost extra for guests.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription and what credentials Dr. Jacob holds. Ask whether tirzepatide and semaglutide are brand-name or compounded, whether the store price is monthly, and whether it includes a visit. Ask whether the monthly weight program fee covers the medication, and which follow-up visits and lab work cost extra.
Peptides are listed with no description, so ask what they are, what they are used for, and what they cost. Ask which Saratoga Springs office you would book, since the clinic lists Saratoga Springs, New York, but its service-area wording names Saratoga Springs, MA & FL. Ask for the street address for North Adams, Saratoga Springs, and Florida, since none are published. Finally, ask how membership renews and how to cancel, given the 9-12 month program length.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a doctor you can reach by phone, text, or video, and you are ready to pay out of pocket for a membership and a multi-month weight program. It is a harder call if you need a published price for each visit before you book, since many of its prices are not published.
