About Piedmont Integrative Medicine

What is Piedmont Integrative Medicine?

Piedmont Integrative Medicine is an integrative medicine practice at 1411 Plaza West Road, Suite B, Winston-Salem, NC 27103. The phone number is (336) 760-0240. Alexander T. Augoustides, MD, ABIHM, FAAFP is the one prescriber named, and a large part of the practice is hormone health. Its clinical emphasis is women 35 and older, though it also works with men who have fatigue, sleep disruption, metabolism changes or hormone imbalance.

The hormone work is bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), offered alongside what the clinic calls The 7 Keys Method™. In its own words: "BHRT is part of the plan, not the entire plan." Hormone testing covers estradiol, estriol, estrone, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG and thyroid.

The other services are BioDendritics™, IV Therapies, Mesotherapy, Neural Therapy and Weight Loss & Balance. The weight loss program names three medications: Trizepatide Injections, Sublingual Semaglutide (Drops) and Semaglutide Injections. Google lists the business as a medical clinic with a 4.9 rating from 105 reviews. The header reads "Where We Cultivate and Curate since 1984™," but the clinic does not say what that date marks.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for any service, including the weight loss program and its medications. It does not say whether a medication is included in a monthly fee, or whether insurance is accepted. The one dollar figure it gives is for a Health Strategy Call that it values at $100.00. It does not say whether that call is free or charged. Telehealth, financing, HSA use and membership terms are also not addressed, so treat every cost as unknown until the office confirms it in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription, and what visit or lab work comes before a first prescription. Ask whether the weight loss price includes the medication, and what the drug costs on its own. Ask whether each product is brand-name or compounded, and confirm the exact drug name, since the listing spells the first one Trizepatide. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how often they are required. Ask whether the Health Strategy Call is free, and how to cancel a program, including any notice period.

If you are interested in peptide therapy, ask directly. The BioDendritics page lists peptides among the biologic therapies it may use, but it names no peptide program. Finally, ask for office hours, since none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want bioidentical hormone therapy or a GLP-1 weight loss program from a physician in Winston-Salem, and you are willing to confirm every cost before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices, insurance billing, telehealth or posted hours before you call.
