About Journey Wellness

What is this clinic?

This is a cash-pay medical services clinic at 602 Morganton Blvd SW, Lenoir, NC 28645. The phone number is (828) 394-9085. The clinic describes itself as a boutique medical services clinic serving Lenoir, the Blue Ridge and the Foothills, and it is a sister company of Family 1st Healthcare Associates. The one prescriber named is Dr. Kelli Kelley, DNP, FNP-C, a family nurse practitioner born and raised in Lenoir, with nine years of cardiac care experience. A personal trainer is part of the weight loss program.

The clinic offers weight loss, testosterone recovery (TRT), women's hormone recovery, vitamin optimization, IV hydration therapy, and sexual health programs. Weight loss uses tirzepatide injections. Hormone care uses testosterone, and for women a combination of testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, and pregnenolone, given by injection or as pellets. Some IV blends include prescription medicines such as ondansetron, ketorolac, dexamethasone, and famotidine. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 11 reviews. Posted hours conflict. One version shows 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Thursday, and another shows 9 AM to 5 PM every day, so call to confirm. It does not say whether any visits can be done by video.

What does it cost?

Weight loss is sold in packages: $450 for one month, $750 for two months, and $1150 for three months. Each includes an office visit with Dr. Kelley, personal trainer visits, a weekly tirzepatide injection, and supplies including needles, so the medication is part of the price. Higher strengths add $75 a month or $125 a month. In its own words: "Save up to $325 when you plan in advance and book our multi-month packages instead of month-by-month." Family 1st patients get discounts on the packages. Basic blood work (CBC, CMP, A1C, TSH, or lipid testing) is listed as complementary at any appointment.

Hormone care starts with a $280 initial consultation. The second visit is listed at $180 to $675 for TRT and $200 to $425 for women's care. It does not publish prices for ongoing hormone treatment after that. IV blends are listed at $120 to $160 each. The clinic does not accept commercial insurance, and it does not mention HSA or financing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs your prescriptions, and how often you will see Dr. Kelley after the first visit. Ask whether the tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic does not say. The clinic states that people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, or gastroparesis will not qualify for the injections, so raise that before you pay. Ask what follow-up visits and labs cost once a package ends, and what the cancellation and commitment terms are for weight loss packages, which are not stated. Ask whether any visits can be done by video. For the IV blends that include prescription medicines, ask which ones are in the blend you are considering and who orders them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss, testosterone, or women's hormone care in Lenoir, you are ready to pay cash, and you want one named prescriber overseeing your plan. If you need insurance billing, video visits, or a published price for ongoing hormone medication, ask those questions before you book.
