What is The Bariatric Clinic Asheville?
The Bariatric Clinic Asheville is a medical weight loss practice in Asheville, NC. The practice has 5 offices in the Carolinas, in Asheville, Greenville, Fort Mill, Greensboro and Spartanburg. Weight loss is what the practice mainly does, and it offers the services below as part of that program.
Dr. William Donaldson, MD, is the owner and the only prescriber the clinic names. His listed training is an MD from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), with a Family Medicine Residency at Greenville Hospital System. He moved from many years of family practice into bariatric medicine in 2001.
The practice offers appetite suppressants, semaglutide injections, tirzepatide, B-12 injections, lipotropic injections, nutrition counseling, dietary supplements and non-surgical options. The medications it names are semaglutide (GLP-1), phentermine, phendimetrazine and diethylpropion. It says it dispenses medication on site. Google shows a 4.5 rating from 48 reviews, under the category weight loss service.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices for medication, visits, lab work or consultations. No monthly fee and no consultation fee appears anywhere on its materials. It does say there are no upfront fees and no long term contracts. In its own words: "There are no upfront fees and no long term contracts."
It does not say whether medication is included in any monthly price, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers an HSA or financing. Its program mentions monthly appointments and a long term maintenance program, so ask how those are billed. No cancellation process is described, so ask how to stop if you want to.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription and who you will see at each visit. The clinic names Dr. Donaldson as owner, but it also says a physician or nurse practitioner reviews lab work. Ask which one will review yours.
Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication, and what you pay if it does not. Because the clinic dispenses on site, ask whether the semaglutide is a brand-name product or a compounded one. Ask the same about tirzepatide and about the phentermine, phendimetrazine and diethylpropion options.
Ask what the first visit, lab work, body fat analysis and follow-up visits each cost, and whether they are billed separately. Lipotropic injections are listed as for established patients only, so ask what that means for a new patient.
Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether insurance or an HSA can be used. Finally, ask how to cancel and what happens once you reach your goal and enter the maintenance program.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician supervised weight loss program in Asheville with medication dispensed on site, and you are ready to get the full cost in writing before you commit. It may not fit if you need a posted price list or insurance coverage, since neither is published.
