About The Stram Center for Integrative Medicine

What is The Stram Center for Integrative Medicine?

The Stram Center for Integrative Medicine is an integrative clinic with offices in Delmar, New York, and South Burlington, Vermont. It describes itself as a collaboration of licensed, multi-disciplinary practitioners. The one person it names as a prescriber is its founder, Dr. Ronald Stram, and the clinic does not publish his credentials or those of anyone else on the team. Its own account is that since its conception in 2002, Dr. Stram has brought functional medicine to the capital region.

Three of its services match what this directory covers. GLP-1 therapy is its weight-loss program, and the clinic names semaglutide and tirzepatide. Anti-Aging Therapy is listed as its own service. It also writes about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) for women and men, describing it as support for symptoms of hormone imbalance caused by aging, stress, or metabolic changes. Its other services include IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, Lyme disease care, pain management, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling.

In its own words: "At the Stram Center, GLP-1 therapy is not used in isolation." On Google, the clinic is rated 4.1 from 64 reviews.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It also does not say whether its medication is included in a monthly fee, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA payment or financing. The one membership term it publishes reads: "You may cancel your subscription any time at least 15 days before the next billing cycle, in writing." It does not say which services are sold as subscriptions, so ask.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and what their credentials are, since the clinic does not publish them. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication or only the visits. Its GLP-1 medications are listed as coming from compounding pharmacies, so ask whether the product is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it.

Ask what lab work, ongoing monitoring, and dietitian sessions cost, since the clinic lists all three as part of its GLP-1 approach without prices. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth, because the clinic does not say. Finally, ask how to cancel, and whether the 15-day written notice applies to every program you might join.

Who is it a fit for?

This suits someone who wants weight-loss medication, hormone therapy, or integrative care from a clinic with offices in Delmar and South Burlington, and who will get the prescriber, medication, and monthly cost answered in writing before paying. Someone who needs published prices before making a call may find this clinic harder to compare with others.
