What is Pinehurst Medical Clinic?
Pinehurst Medical Clinic is a multi-specialty medical practice with offices in towns including Pinehurst, Sanford and Southern Pines. Medical weight management is one of its specialties, alongside cardiology, endocrinology, sleep medicine and primary care. The weight management program runs from two offices, one in Sanford and one in West End.
Six people are listed as prescribers for the program: Melissa Aubin, PA-C; Julie Baugher, MD; Alex Bonnecaze, MD; Kristin Hockersmith, MSN, APRN, FNP-C; Nirisha Kalakada, MD, DABOM; and David McDonald, MSN, FNP. The clinic describes its physicians as board-certified and says the team includes three registered dietitians, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a clinical pharmacist. Its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 79 reviews.
This listing is for its West End office at 4208 Murdocksville Rd.
What does the program include?
Patients can book in-person visits for one-on-one weight management consultations, with personalized treatment plans. The clinic lists guidance from a registered dietitian, nutrition, behavioral and exercise recommendations, and lab and medication management. It also says it works with cardiology providers on metabolic and cardiovascular care. In its own words: "PMC's medical weight management team provides individually-tailored weight management plans for each patient." A 2025 announcement also lists genetic testing as part of the program.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, monthly program fee or medication price listed. It also does not say whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA or financing. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book, including the first visit, follow-up visits and lab work.
What should you ask before you book?
New patients need a referral before they can schedule, so ask whether your own doctor has to send it. The clinic's number for questions about that is (910) 255-4329. Returning patients can book follow-ups online.
Ask which of the six prescribers you would see, and who writes and manages your prescription. The clinic has a booklet on anti-obesity medications, but it does not say which medications the program prescribes. Ask that directly, and ask whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, and what it costs if it does not.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether virtual visits are available for this program, and how cancellation works, including any membership term. The West End office has no separate phone number listed for this program, so confirm which office and number you will use.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you can get a referral, live near Sanford or West End, and want a team that includes a registered dietitian and works with cardiology providers. If you need a published price or an answer about insurance before you call, expect to ask for both directly.
