This listing is for its Manlius office at 8112 Cazenovia Rd.
What does it cost?
The only published price is a $199 introductory assessment for the GLP-1 Optimization Program, which is for people already taking a GLP-1 prescribed elsewhere. The practice does not say whether that price includes medication, and it is listed as the price published in September 2026, so confirm it is current. It does not publish prices for weight loss medication, hormone therapy or peptide therapy, and it gives no first-visit fee. It says exact pricing is covered on a free discovery call of up to 30 minutes by phone. It does not say whether it accepts insurance. Its menu includes payment plans, but it does not describe their terms.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription, and whether it is Dr. Scinta or someone else on the team. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether the GLP-1 is FDA-approved or compounded. Ask what the evaluation, bloodwork, dietitian visits and follow-up labs cost, since the practice describes them without giving fees. Ask whether provider visits can be done by video, because Zoom is mentioned only for group classes. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether a fee applies if you stop partway through.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want medication only after an in-person evaluation with bloodwork and a dietitian, and you are ready to pay cash. It also suits a parent considering BOUNCE for a child aged 5 to 18, or someone already on a GLP-1 from another prescriber who wants a provider review. The practice states its own limit plainly: In its own words: "If you want medication without the evaluation, we are probably not the right practice for you."
