About Ascent Wellness

What is Ascent Wellness?

Ascent Wellness is a cash-pay practice at 60 Queens St. in Syosset, New York. You can reach it at (516) 744-2778. It calls itself a concierge wellness and longevity practice, so weight loss is one of several services rather than the whole business. The eight listed services are weight loss with GLP medications, peptide therapy, testosterone replacement therapy, women's hormone therapy, autoimmune and inflammation evaluation, sexual health, and two assessments called Elevation Assessment and Summit Assessment.

The one prescriber named is Alina Hasan, PA, listed with 10+ Years of Clinical Experience. Her listing calls her an expert in metabolic medicine. Her background includes functional medicine, weight loss and longevity care, primary care, and gastroenterology. The GLP program names two medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide. In its own words: "compounded GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist therapies, including semaglutide and the dual agonist tirzepatide." They are filled by licensed U.S. 503A pharmacies and shipped by 2-day FedEx. The practice serves patients across Nassau and Suffolk counties and offers telehealth where appropriate. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 14 reviews under the category Wellness center.

This listing is for its Syosset office at 60 Queens St..

What does it cost?

Semaglutide is listed at $499 for a 3 month program, and tirzepatide at $899 for a 3 month program. Other prices appear as "starting at" figures: $167 a month for semaglutide, $179 for the GLP-1 and GIP treatment, and $149 for peptide therapy and for sexual health. The program price is listed as including medication, though the clinic does not say that holds for every program. The GLP consultation is listed as a 30 minute visit that includes a 40+ biomarker blood panel, a Styku 3D body composition scan, a 3 month follow-up, and two follow-up scans. It does not publish a separate consultation fee.

It accepts HSA and FSA for eligible services and says many of its advanced diagnostic services are not typically covered by traditional insurance. It mentions memberships but does not publish membership costs, commitment terms, or cancellation terms. It also does not publish hours, and it gives no price for the Elevation or Summit Assessment.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and what their credential is. Alina Hasan is listed as a PA, but some of the clinic's wording calls its provider a physician, so get the answer in writing. Ask whether the medication is compounded or brand-name, which pharmacy fills it, and whether that pharmacy is a 503A pharmacy. Ask whether $499 and $899 are the full 3 month prices, and how the $167 a month figure is calculated.

Ask whether the program price covers medication in every program, and what follow-up visits and extra lab work cost after the first three months. Ask what a membership costs, whether it requires a commitment, and how to cancel. Ask whether telehealth is available in your state, since the clinic offers it only where appropriate. Ask about hours too, because none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay program that bundles blood work and body scans with a medication plan, and you are willing to get the prescriber, the medication type, and the cancellation terms confirmed in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need those details published before you call, since most of them are not.
