About Cross Valley Health & Medicine

What is Cross Valley Health & Medicine?

Cross Valley Health & Medicine is an independently owned multi-specialty practice at 407 Gidney Avenue, Suite B, in Newburgh, New York. It has served the Hudson Valley since 2007. Dr. Paul Saladino and Christian Plaza, PMHNP, FNP own the practice and see patients there.

Weight loss is one of six services. The others are primary care, behavioral health, medical marijuana certification, addiction recovery, and STD/STI testing and care. The weight loss program names four commonly used medications: bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave), liraglutide (Saxenda), orlistat (Alli, Xenical) and phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia). A physical exam comes before any medication is prescribed, and the program includes one-on-one coaching. In its own words: "Cross Valley Health & Medicine practitioners may prescribe you medication to be used in combination with diet, behavior, and lifestyle changes."

Visits can be in person or by telemedicine. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8am to 5:30pm, Friday from 8am to 5pm, and closed on weekends. Its Google listing shows a 3.5 rating from 32 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss care, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It does not say whether the medication is included in any price. It does accept health insurance, and its services list says weight loss management is covered by some insurances. It does not say which plans those are.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the weight loss prescription and who you would see at follow-up. Ask whether the price includes the medication or whether it is billed separately. Ask whether the medication is the branded product or a compounded version. Ask what the exam, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether your plan covers them. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a Newburgh practice that takes insurance, offers in-person or video visits, and makes the medication decision after an exam. Weight loss is one of six services here, so it also suits someone who may need primary care or mental health care under the same roof.
