About ASCPM Functional Medicine

What is ASCPM Functional Medicine?

ASCPM Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice at 1003 New Loudon Rd., Suite 103, in Cohoes, NY 12047. The phone number is 518.914.6080. The practice describes its service area as Albany and Saratoga Springs. Its one named prescriber is Dr. Radka Dooley, who is board-certified in rehabilitation and electrodiagnostic medicine. No other prescriber is named, though the clinic also refers to "board-certified providers" in general.

Weight loss and metabolic optimization, hormone replacement therapy, peptide and regenerative therapy, and longevity and anti-aging therapies are all on its service list. It also offers cognitive health and sleep optimization, IV nutrient therapy, wellness and lifestyle medicine, and functional medicine with root cause analysis. Weight loss is one service among several, so the practice is described as functional medicine.

The clinic belongs to a wider ASCPM network that also provides pain management across Upstate New York. It is rated 5 on Google from 1 review, which is too little to read much into. No hours are listed.

This listing is for its Cohoes office at 1003 Loudon Rd #103.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no program price, and no figure for medication or lab work. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether it offers HSA or financing, or whether any monthly fee covers medication.

The weight loss program includes "monthly check-ins to track progress," which suggests recurring visits. No price is given for those visits, so ask what they cost before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will write your prescription. Only Dr. Dooley is named, so ask whether she will see you or whether another clinician will.

For weight loss, ask whether the monthly fee includes medication. If a medication is prescribed, ask whether it is brand-name or compounded, and which one. The clinic does not name a weight loss medication.

For peptides, ask which peptides are offered, where they are sourced, and whether they are compounded. For hormone therapy, ask what lab work is required to start, what it costs, and how often follow-up labs are drawn.

Ask whether the consultation has a fee and whether that fee is credited toward a program. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether insurance is accepted. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether you are tied to a minimum number of months.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Albany, Saratoga Springs, or Cohoes, you want more than one kind of care from the same clinic, and you are ready to pay cash for a plan whose full cost you have confirmed in writing. If you need a published price before you call, look at a clinic that posts one first.
