About Protocol Health

What is Protocol Health?

Protocol Health is a family-owned, physician-led health optimization clinic at 700 White Plains Road, #30, in Scarsdale, NY 10583. Its phone number is (914) 415-5546. Its main work is hormone optimization, peptide therapy, medical weight loss, and advanced diagnostics. It also offers vitamin injections, sexual health care, pain and injury recovery, and longevity diagnostics with advanced lab testing. For weight loss, it names semaglutide and tirzepatide.

The clinic lists four prescribers: Richard Dentico, MD, co-founder and medical director; Erisa Auricchio, FNP-BC; Kimberly Garvey, PA-C; and Dr. Russell Tigges, MD. It describes itself as having over 75 years of experience in health optimization, and it has a Google rating of 5 from 106 reviews. In its own words, every plan is built around "your symptoms, labs, history, lifestyle, and goals." Telehealth is offered in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, and California. For in-person visits, it names Rye and throughout Westchester County, including White Plains, Bronxville, Yonkers, Harrison, and New Rochelle. The only office it lists is in Scarsdale, and it does not list a Buffalo or Western New York location.

This listing is for its Scarsdale office at 700 White Plains Rd #30.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Its FAQ says patients learn the full cost before committing, but it lists no figures, so ask for the number in writing before you agree to anything. It does not say whether medication is included in any price.

It does not accept insurance. It accepts HSA and FSA cards and offers special rates for first responders, though those rates are not stated. The first step is a complimentary 15-minute consultation with a patient care coordinator.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription. The clinic lists four prescribers but does not say which one treats a given patient, so ask who you will see and who signs. Ask whether the monthly fee includes semaglutide or tirzepatide, or whether the drug is billed on top of it. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic lists U.S.-based compounding pharmacies among its features. Ask what the performance blood work panel, body composition scan, and ongoing check-ins cost, because its process includes all three. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term. Finally, ask whether HSA or FSA cards cover the program's charges.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led hormone, peptide, or weight-loss care, can pay out of pocket or with an HSA or FSA card, and either live near Scarsdale or are comfortable with telehealth. It is probably not the right call if you need insurance to cover any of it, or if you want a published price before you speak with anyone.
