What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and no consultation fee is listed. Nothing says whether insurance is accepted. The website lists a Financing page and a Payment Portal, but the financing terms are not shown. The weight loss medications are listed without a drug name or a price. Cancellation and membership terms are not stated either. Treat every cost as unknown until the office gives you the numbers.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which treatment fits you. In its own words: "Discover which treatment is best for you by contacting us today." Ask what the consultation costs and whether that fee counts toward a procedure.

Ask which weight loss medications are offered, by name. Ask whether any of them is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs each month.

Ask who writes the prescription, and whether Dr. Ibegbu sees you in person at the office you choose.

Ask whether a monthly fee, if there is one, includes the medication. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether procedures are billed separately.

Ask whether insurance is accepted, whether telehealth follow-up is available, and what the office hours are, since none of these are listed. Ask how to cancel.

The booking form includes a text-message opt-in for marketing messages. Read it before you submit.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want endoscopic or balloon-based weight loss care from a gastroenterologist, can get to Charlotte, Jacksonville or Kinston, and are ready to get prices and medication details in writing before you commit. It is a poor fit if you are looking for hormone or peptide therapy, since neither is listed.
