About JR Medical Aesthetics & Wellness

What is JR Medical Aesthetics & Wellness?

JR Medical Aesthetics & Wellness is a medical aesthetics practice at 940 Chemung Street, Suite B, in Horseheads, NY. Most of what it offers is skin and body work: Botox and Dysport, Kybella and LipoDissolve, RF and SkinPen microneedling, and vitamin injections. It also runs two medical programs, weight loss and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Jill Reidy, FNP-C, is the nurse practitioner named as its prescriber. She began nursing as an RN in 1999 and has been a Nurse Practitioner since 2011.

The weight loss program offers Semaglutide, Phentermine, Qsymia (phentermine with topiramate) and Contrave (naltrexone and bupropion), chosen based on your personal health history. Visits can be in person or by telemed. The TRT program starts with an in-office consultation and bloodwork, then moves to a monthly membership. The Google listing shows a 5 rating from 13 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss consultation is free. The TRT consultation is $99, booked online, and it is followed by a bloodwork review before any membership begins. The practice does not publish a monthly fee for either program. The weight loss program includes the prescription medication and supplies, sent to your home by the pharmacy, but no price is given for them, so ask whether the monthly fee covers the drug.

HSA and FSA payment is accepted, and a superbill is available for submission. Insurance billing is not mentioned. The refund policy is firm. In its own words: "We do not offer refunds for products or services." Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice, or missed, carry a $50.00 charge.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs your prescription, and whether the same nurse practitioner will see you at each follow-up. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since the drugs are named but their source is not stated. Ask for the full monthly cost in writing, including the medication, the pharmacy, follow-up visits and bloodwork. Lab costs are not published, and the TRT bloodwork is taken to a lab of your choice.

Ask what the $99 TRT consultation covers when the weight loss consultation is free. Ask for office hours, since none are listed, and whether telemed visits follow the same schedule. Finally, ask how a membership is canceled and whether the 24-hour cancellation rule applies to monthly visits, given the no-refund policy.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a nurse practitioner to run a medication-based weight loss or testosterone program, in person or by video, and you are ready to pay for it yourself or through an HSA or FSA. If you need a published monthly price with the medication included, get it in writing before you book.
