About Stillwater Medicine

What is Stillwater Medicine?

Stillwater Medicine is a physician-led internal medicine practice on McGill Avenue in Concord, North Carolina. The phone number is (704) 918-5959. Dr. Meghann Blankenship, MD, is the physician who prescribes at the practice. She is board-certified in internal medicine and in obesity medicine. The practice describes itself as having more than 15 years of experience helping patients improve their health. On Google it has a rating of 5 from one review.

It offers four services: Medical Weight Loss, Hormone Health, Metabolic Health, and Longevity & Prevention. For weight loss, Dr. Blankenship prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide when they are clinically appropriate. Hormone replacement therapy is offered on the same condition. In its own words: "Stillwater Medicine is not a quick-prescription telehealth service." Many follow-up visits can be completed virtually when appropriate. The practice serves adults in Concord and the greater Charlotte area, and names Cornelius, Charlotte, Harrisburg, and Kannapolis among the places it serves.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in any program. The practice is membership-based and does not bill insurance, so you would pay the full cost yourself. Membership cost and cancellation terms are not stated. The first step is a complimentary Discovery Call. The practice also says there is no requirement to join a membership, which is a separate question from what a membership costs, so ask for that number before you agree to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and whether Dr. Blankenship sees you at every visit or whether another clinician sees you for some of them. Ask whether the monthly fee, if there is one, includes the GLP-1 medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and which visits can be done by video.

Ask how to cancel and whether a membership has a minimum term. Ask which days and hours the office keeps. If you live in Cornelius, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, or Charlotte, ask where your visits would take place and on which days.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Concord or the Charlotte area, you want the physician who prescribes to lead your care, and you can pay cash for a membership whose full cost you have in writing before you start. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price before you call, or if you expect a prescription without an evaluation, because the practice says it does not work that way.
