About Thrive Medical WNY

What is Thrive Medical WNY?

Thrive Medical WNY is a concierge primary care and functional medicine practice at 301 Connecticut St in Buffalo, NY 14213. Its main work is membership-based primary care, with longer visits, same or next day visits for members, and a provider who learns each patient's history in depth. The prescribers are David Khatib, DO, and Caitlyn Tiedemann, DNP. Abby Burdett, DC, is also on the team but is not listed as a prescriber. The phone number is 716.201.0410.

Beyond primary care, the practice groups its services under three headings. Care covers primary care, nutrition and lifestyle support, and functional medicine. Restore covers chiropractic care and PRP and prolotherapy. Optimize covers weight loss and GLP-1 management, hormone replacement therapy, natural fertility, peptide therapy, and medical aesthetics. GLP-1 is the only medication named on its site. It serves patients in Amherst, Williamsville, Tonawanda, Lewiston and Niagara Falls, and says virtual or telehealth care "may be provided" for people outside Western New York. It has a Google rating of 5 from 13 reviews. In its own words: "our medical team builds a plan around your goals and biology."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It also does not say whether medication is included in any program, whether it accepts insurance, or how a membership is cancelled. Ask for each of these in writing before you book.

Membership appears among its services, but no monthly fee is given anywhere, so you will need a figure from the clinic before you can compare it with anything else.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask whether David Khatib, DO, or Caitlyn Tiedemann, DNP, will write any prescription you need, and who handles questions between visits.

Next, ask whether the membership fee covers medication or whether the drug is billed on top of it. For GLP-1 treatment, ask which product is used and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab assessments and follow-up visits cost, since none are priced. Ask how a membership is cancelled and whether there is a minimum commitment.

Confirm the office address too. Its online material gives both a Buffalo address and a Williamsville address, so ask which one is the office. If you live outside Western New York, ask whether telehealth is available in your state and what it covers.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an ongoing primary care relationship with a named provider, and you are comfortable getting the fee, medication terms, and cancellation rules in writing before you pay. If you need a set price for one treatment before you call, expect to ask for it, since none is published.
