What is Durham Women's Clinic?
Durham Women's Clinic is a women's health practice, operated as a division of UWH of North Carolina, PLLC. Its core work is obstetrics, gynecology and midwifery. It has offices in Durham and in Brier Creek, which is in Raleigh, and lists its hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5pm.
Its weight loss program sits under a newer Medical Wellness & Aesthetics line, alongside Neurotoxins (the clinic names Botox, Dysport and Xeomin), MonaLisa Touch vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty. Weight loss is one service within a women's health practice, not the main business.
Eleven prescribers are listed, including Frank Frenduto, MD, Nicolette Schreiber, MD and Ankita Desai, MD, along with a physician assistant, nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives. Michele Kessler, PA-C appears in a weight loss testimonial and lists weight management among her special interests, but the clinic does not say which prescriber runs the weight loss program.
The program includes an initial evaluation, a review of health conditions and current medications, labs, a meal plan, handouts, medications if indicated, and a follow-up care plan. The clinic lists who it considers a candidate: a BMI of 30 and above, a BMI of 27 and above with other medical conditions, 6 months postpartum with interest in weight loss, or perimenopause or menopausal weight loss. It has a 4.8 rating on Google from 1,314 reviews.
This listing is for its Durham office at 209 E Carver St.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices for weight loss, neurotoxins, MonaLisa Touch or labiaplasty. It does not state a consultation fee, whether the program fee includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or how cancellation works. Ask for a written price covering the evaluation, labs, any prescribed medication and follow-up visits before you schedule.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which prescriber will run your weight loss program and sign any prescription. Ask whether the program fee includes medication. If medication is prescribed, ask whether it is brand-name or compounded and what it costs each month. Ask what labs and follow-up visits cost, and whether any part of the program can be done by video, since the clinic does not say it offers telehealth. Ask whether insurance is accepted for any of these services, and for neurotoxin treatments, who performs them and what each session costs. Ask whether the registered dietitian, Leah Williams, MPH, RD, LDN, is part of the program. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether any fee applies.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you already want a women's health practice for obstetrics, gynecology or midwifery care and would like weight management or aesthetic services from the same clinic, and you are comfortable getting prices and medication terms in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or video visits before you commit.
