About Integrative Wellness

What is Integrative Wellness?

Integrative Wellness is a family medicine practice at 6909 Royalton Road, Suite 104, in Brecksville, Ohio. Its lead physician is Cheryl Hammes, DO, FAcofp, who is board certified in family medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine. Alanna Pylypiv, AGACNP-BC, CFMP, and Carla Cavanagh, PA-C, also prescribe. Pylypiv focuses on thyroid, adrenal and hormone balance. Cavanagh was trained in the office's allergy work and weight loss protocol.

The practice opened in the autumn of 2007. Most of what it lists is osteopathic and integrative care, including osteopathic manipulation, allergy symptom elimination, care related to autism, heavy metal detoxification and supplements. Among cash-pay services, it offers hormone therapy (bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT) and a weight loss protocol, though no weight loss medication is named. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine. It is rated 5 on Google from 6 reviews. Office hours vary by provider on weekdays, so call 440-792-4096 to book.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, membership terms or a cancellation policy. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance or whether a monthly fee would include medication, and it does not publish supplement prices. Call before you book and ask for the consultation fee, the cost of a first visit and follow-up, and whether any of it can be billed to insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who prescribes. The clinicians named are Hammes, Pylypiv and Cavanagh, so ask which one would sign any prescription and who orders and reviews your lab work. Ask whether the weight loss protocol uses a named medication, and if so whether it is brand name or compounded. Ask whether visits can be done by video, since the clinic does not say.

Hormone care is where the clinic is most specific. In its own words: "Dr. Cheryl will evaluate your hormone deficiencies and discuss a treatment plan for you." Ask what that evaluation includes, what testing costs, and whether the treatment plan is billed separately.

Allergy work uses muscle response testing and acupressure rather than the skin or blood tests allergists more often use. Ask what it involves, how many visits it usually takes and what each one costs. Finally, ask how repeat labs are priced and how you cancel if you stop.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led family care in Brecksville, with osteopathic treatment, hormone work or allergy care alongside it, and you are willing to get prices and medication details by phone before you commit. It is a harder fit if you need published prices or named weight loss medications up front, because the clinic publishes neither.
