COASTAL MD™

About COASTAL MD™

What is Coastal MD™, Integrative Health & Wellness?

Coastal MD™ describes itself as an integrative health and wellness practice for men and women. Its listed services are trigger point injections, medical massage therapy, peptide therapy, male hormone replacement therapy, weight management, IV hydration and aesthetics. Weight management is one service among several, so this reads as a multi-service wellness clinic rather than a weight loss clinic. In its own words: weight management programs are "strictly supervised & supported by our healthcare professionals."

The prescribers named by the clinic are Dr. Gregory Brevetti, MD, along with the physician assistants Justin J. Szpilka, PA-C, Nicole P. Polimeni, PA-C, Meg Musorofiti, PA-C, and Pamella Grillo, PA-C. The clinic also mentions a collaboration with plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew L. Peredo, MD, and notes that the two practices maintain independent practices. It does not publish a street address, a town, office hours or the areas it serves. Appointments are booked by phone at (631) 343-4184.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. On insurance, it says "We Accept Most Major Insurances." That statement does not tell you whether your plan covers weight management, hormone therapy or peptide therapy, so ask the office to check your specific plan and service before you book. It lists financing options but does not say what they cost or how they work. If no price is given on the phone, ask for the full cost of the first visit and each program in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask which of the named prescribers will write your prescriptions, and whether a physician reviews your plan.

The clinic does not name the weight loss medication it uses. Ask what the drug is, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy supplies it. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication. For hormone therapy, ask what lab work is needed before you start, how often it is repeated, and what it costs. Its men's health information lists risks of the therapy, so ask the prescriber to go through those risks with you.

Also ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the clinic does not say. Ask for the office address and hours, what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how cancellation and rescheduling work.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want several services in one clinic, you are prepared to pay cash for programs your insurance may not cover, and you will get the medication, the prescriber and the total monthly cost in writing before you commit. If you need the address, hours or telehealth answers first, call before you book.
