What is Carolina Acute Care & Wellness Center?
Carolina Acute Care & Wellness Center, P.A. is a family medicine and urgent care practice at 2601 N Elm Street, Suite A in Lumberton, North Carolina. Most of its work is primary care, urgent care for acute illness and minor injury, and chronic disease management. Its weight management and hormone services sit inside a separate Wellness Clinic in the same office.
Phillip Stephens, DHSc, PA-C, is the clinician the clinic names as a prescriber. The clinic describes its clinicians as bringing more than 100 years of combined healthcare experience.
The Wellness Clinic lists clinically supervised medical weight management, nutritional counseling, hormone replacement therapy with lab-guided care, preventive lab testing, and nutritional support. The clinic describes its hormone care as bioidentical and delivered by pellet. In its own words: "We are a certified EvexiPEL Center." Peptide therapy is not among its listed services, and the weight loss medications it uses are not named.
The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and closed Friday through Sunday. The phone number is (910) 236-2200.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. No consultation fee, membership plan, financing option, or cancellation policy is stated. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance. Before you book, ask for each price in writing: the first visit, lab work, follow-up visits, and the medication itself. None of these is published, so get them before you commit to anything.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes your prescription. Phillip Stephens, DHSc, PA-C, is the clinician named, but ask whether he or another clinician signs the hormone and weight loss prescriptions.
Ask which hormones and which weight loss medications the clinic uses, since neither is named. Ask whether each one is brand-name or compounded, and whether the pellets are compounded.
If a weight management program carries a monthly fee, ask whether that fee includes the medication or covers visits only.
The clinic describes ongoing monitoring and follow-up, so ask what follow-up visits and monitoring labs cost.
Ask whether telehealth is offered, since it is not mentioned, and whether the clinic accepts your insurance.
Ask how you cancel, and whether you pay for a consultation if you decide not to continue.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want primary care or urgent care in Lumberton and a weight management or hormone evaluation in the same office, and you are willing to confirm every price before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need a clinic that publishes its prices, names its medications, or offers telehealth, since it does none of those things.
