About Carolina Health and Hydration, PLLC

What is Carolina Health and Hydration, PLLC?

Carolina Health and Hydration, PLLC is a general clinic at 102 School Street in Mount Gilead, North Carolina. Its main work is everyday medical care: urgent and sick visits, house calls, DOT, sports and employment physicals, IV hydration, vitamin injections and on-site lab services. Among its services are a medically supervised weight-loss program and hormone replacement therapy. Its weight-loss plans name semaglutide and tirzepatide, sold as Wegovy and Mounjaro, and also offer versions compounded with vitamins B12 and B6. Hours run Monday through Saturday with Sunday closed, and it lists 24/7 emergency house-call service.

Ken Dennis, BSN, FNP-C, MSN, is the only prescriber named. His listed background is well over 15 years in family medicine, emergency medicine and critical or urgent care. His wife Carla is the office manager and a licensed esthetician, and his daughter Lauren works as the phlebotomist and IV technician. Neither of them prescribes.

The clinic has a Google rating of 5 from 85 reviews. In its own words: "We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men and women."

What does it cost?

Weight-loss plans start at $200 a month for a once-weekly injection, and it does not say whether medication is included in that price. The Skinny Shot is $145 a month, a once-weekly injection of B vitamins and other nutrients. Burn-Baby-Burn is $155 a month, a daily oral supplement paired with a prescription appetite suppressant if medically approved. It does not publish a consultation fee for weight loss.

Hormone replacement is sold as a 16-week package: $775 for men and $620 for women. That covers consultation, labs and bioidentical pellets or injections. Cash pay saves 5%, and the package has no hidden fees. No monthly price is given for hormone care, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the medication. Ask whether the monthly fee covers it, and whether you would receive brand-name semaglutide or tirzepatide or a compounded version with B12 and B6.

Ask who signs the weight-loss prescription. The program is described as run by a board-certified provider, but the only prescriber named is Ken Dennis. Ask which provider reviews your case and writes the prescription.

Ask what labs and follow-up visits cost on weight loss, since the price does not list them. For hormone therapy, ask what happens after the 16 weeks and whether renewal is automatic.

Ask whether any visit can be done by video, since no telehealth option is listed. Ask whether it bills insurance, and how cancellation works, including any membership or minimum terms.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person care in Mount Gilead or a house call, you are ready to pay cash for a package or monthly plan, and you want one office for weight loss, hormone therapy and routine or urgent care. It is a weaker match if you need video visits, insurance billing, or a clear answer on who prescribes the weight-loss medication.
