What is Lotus Center of Health?
Lotus Center of Health is a women's health practice in Wilmington, NC, and it also lists an office in Portland, OR. Most of its work is gynecology: early pregnancy care, fertility services, annual exams, contraception, adolescent care, perinatal and reproductive psychiatry, cosmetic injections, and robotic-assisted surgery. Weight Loss Management is one of ten services it offers, and it is the one most relevant to anyone comparing medical weight care.
Dr. Sarah Gore, DO, FACOG, is a board-certified OB/GYN. The other prescribers are Amber Pohlhaus, WHNP-BC, a women's health nurse practitioner; Meredith Sheffield, FNP-C, a family nurse practitioner; and Ashli Gibson, PMHNP-BC, CNM, a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife. The weight program introduces Meredith Sheffield by name.
The weight program combines medication management with body composition and lifestyle support. It considers GLP-1 injectables or oral medications for patients it judges appropriate. Its in-office InBody 270 scan measures muscle, body fat, and body water by region. Other tools include food logging apps, continuous glucose monitoring when appropriate, and referrals to registered dietitians. The program also covers weight changes linked to PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, postpartum changes, and thyroid concerns. Care is offered in English, Korean, and Arabic. Its Google listing shows a 4.7 rating from 247 reviews under the category Gynecologist.
This listing is for its Wilmington office at 1721 New Hanover Medical Park Dr.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no program fee, and no statement of whether medication is included in any monthly cost. It also does not say whether weight loss visits are covered by insurance.
The one payment detail it gives is about insurance. In its own words: "We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, and offer flexible self-pay and payment plan options for uninsured patients." A separate Cherry payment plan, which allows monthly payments, is described under its cosmetic procedures, so do not assume it applies to the weight program.
What should you ask before you book?
Who signs the prescription for a weight medication, and who sees you for follow-up? The weight program introduces Meredith Sheffield, but it does not say who prescribes.
Does the monthly fee include the medication? If not, what does the drug cost on its own?
Is the medication brand-name or compounded? It does not name a GLP-1 drug.
What do follow-up visits, lab work, and the InBody scan cost, and are they billed separately?
Will your insurance cover the weight visits? Confirm this before the first appointment, since the clinic does not say.
Are visits in person, by video, or both? Telehealth is not mentioned, and the InBody scan is done in the office.
How do you cancel, and is there a membership term? Neither is published. Call (910) 726-9976 and ask.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want gynecology, hormone-related weight concerns, and medication support from one practice, and you are willing to get prices and drug details in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price or a named medication before you pick up the phone.
