About Hope & Wellness Transformative Medical Solutions

What is Hope & Wellness Transformative Medical Solutions?

Hope & Wellness Transformative Medical Solutions is a medical weight loss clinic at 1081 Long Pond Road, Suite 202, Rochester, NY 14626. The phone number is 585-210-3131. Rebecca Strachan, FNP-C, MSN, is the nurse practitioner who prescribes. Her page says she has over 8 years of experience as a nurse practitioner and more than 25 years as a registered nurse, and it describes her as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.

The clinic offers GLP-1 medications, a product it calls the Skinny Shot, which its page describes as a combination weight loss injection, and Contrave, an oral medication. Its pages also name liraglutide and mention other oral medications. It offers referrals to a nutrition and exercise specialist, but it does not name hormone therapy or peptide therapy. Visits are by appointment only, and no regular hours are listed. It has a rating of 5 on Google from 7 reviews.

This listing is for its Rochester office at 1081 Long Pond Rd Ste 202.

What does it cost?

The first consultation is free. The clinic lists a $89 monthly fee for brand-name medications obtained through the manufacturing pharmacy and for any of its oral weight loss medications, generic or brand. That fee covers office visits, supplies such as needles and alcohol swabs, initial and refill prescriptions, and meal plans. It does not say whether the medication itself is part of the $89, so ask.

Compounded injectable medications are priced per prescription, and the price varies by drug. The one example given is liraglutide at $390 per prescription, which includes office visits, supplies and the diet guide. If you use insurance for medication, a $75 prior authorization fee applies, and it is charged whether or not the insurer approves.

The clinic does not accept commercial or government health insurance for office visits. It says insurance may cover brand-name medications if the drug is available and your plan covers it. It accepts credit or debit cards, FSA or HSA, cash, and CareCredit. Prices may change with pharmacy fluctuations and without notice. It does not publish prices for the Skinny Shot or Contrave.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $89 monthly fee includes the medication itself or only visits, supplies and refills. Ask whether the injection you would receive is brand-name or compounded, and what it would cost. Ask for the price of the Skinny Shot and Contrave, since neither is published.

Ask whether the 12-week initial program is required or only a recommendation. Ask who writes each prescription and whether Rebecca Strachan sees you at every visit. Ask what follow-up visits and any lab work cost, whether telehealth is available, and what hours the office keeps. Ask how you cancel a monthly plan and whether there is a minimum commitment. If you plan to use insurance, ask whether the $75 prior authorization fee applies even when the plan turns the request down.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a medical weight loss program run by a nurse practitioner, you plan to pay cash, through an HSA or FSA, or with CareCredit, and you are willing to confirm the medication price and cancellation terms before you book. If you are looking for hormone therapy or peptide therapy, this clinic does not name either service.
