Verified listingAbout Donaldson Plastic Surgery
What is Donaldson Plastic Surgery?
Donaldson Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgery and aesthetics practice in Columbus, Ohio. Most of what it offers is cosmetic, from breast and body surgery to facial treatments and a medspa. Its functional medicine division, which includes the weight loss programs, is led by Dr. Marguerite Weston, MD, IFMCP. Courtney Gilbert, PA-C, and Tricia Granchi, MSN, FNP-C, are also listed as prescribers. Dr. Weston holds a certification from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and has more than 17 years of practice, with board certifications in family medicine and sports medicine.
The functional medicine menu also lists hormone therapy, TRT for men, gut health, performance and longevity, sexual wellness, fertility, dietitian services, targeted testing and corporate wellness. Weight loss comes as two programs, a 6-month program and a 12-month program. Prescriptions may include compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, filled through a certified compounding pharmacy partner, when medically appropriate. Google lists the practice at 4.3 from 12 reviews. Confirm the street address when you call.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for either weight loss program. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether the program fee covers the medication, what the consultation costs, or what the cancellation terms are. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book. That means the program fee, the lab tests at the start and end, the follow-up visits, and the medication if it is billed separately.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription. Dr. Weston, Courtney Gilbert and Tricia Granchi are the listed prescribers, so ask which of them you would see.
Ask whether the medication is compounded or brand-name. In its own words: "Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved." Ask whether the program fee covers the medication, and whether the pharmacy bills you separately.
Ask which BMI or health criteria decide who qualifies for semaglutide, since the clinic offers it only to those who meet them.
Ask what "all diagnostic testing included" covers in the 12-month program, and what the lab work costs in the 6-month program.
Ask which states the virtual visits cover, since the clinic does not name them. Ask how to cancel and whether any part of the fee is refundable if you stop partway. Ask which office the in-person visits take place at. The listed services do not include peptide therapy, so ask if that is what you are looking for.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in or near Columbus, want a physician-led weight loss program where medication is one part of a plan that includes lifestyle and nutrition changes, and are ready to pay cash. If you need a published price or insurance billing before you call, this clinic gives neither, so you will need to ask.
