About Richter Family Medicine & Wellness

What is Richter Family Medicine & Wellness?

Richter Family Medicine & Wellness is a family medicine practice at 5500 W Friendly Ave #201, Greensboro, NC 27410. Dr. Karen Richter, M.D. is the only prescriber the practice names. Its core work is primary care: annual wellness exams, preventive care, chronic disease management, women's health, sports and employment physicals, drug screening, minor sports injuries and travel medicine consultations. Weight management is one of its listed services, and it also offers telehealth or virtual care. Its menu includes a MedSpa section, and Google files the business under medical spa, but the practice presents itself first as a family medicine office. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

The weight management program pairs meal planning, physical activity guidance and mindfulness work with medication. The medications it names are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. In its own words: "we offer medical support with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections." Google shows a rating of 5 from 18 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or an insurance policy. It also does not say whether medication is included in any price. Call 336.897.0004 and ask for the full cost of a first visit and of an ongoing program before you book anything. Get the answer in writing if you can, since nothing about cost appears online.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the most important point. Dr. Richter is not currently accepting new patients. Ask whether that has changed, and if it has not, who else at the practice can prescribe for you and follow your care.

Next, ask who signs the Semaglutide or Tirzepatide prescription and who handles follow-up visits. Find out whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether the weight program can be run through telehealth or requires office visits. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum commitment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family physician who also handles routine, sports and travel care, and you are willing to confirm she is seeing new patients before you pay anything. If you need prices in writing before you call, this practice does not publish them online, so plan to ask directly.
