About Plastic Surgeons of Akron

What is Plastic Surgeons of Akron?

Plastic Surgeons of Akron is mainly a plastic surgery practice. It also offers medspa treatments, injectables, skin services, medical weight loss and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). The name says Akron, but the office is at 270 S. Cleveland Massillon Road, Suite C, in Fairlawn, Ohio 44333. The practice lists Akron and Cleveland as its service area.

John C. Pedersen, M.D., FACS, has two decades of experience in plastic surgery. Amy Grentzer, MSN, FNP, leads the non-surgical aesthetic services. The weight loss program uses semaglutide, the only medication it names. The steps are a consultation (in person or virtual), intake forms with medical history and bloodwork, then a shot delivered to your address for self-administration. In its own words: "Our Weight Loss Solutions are designed to help you reach your aesthetic goals and should be used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise regimen."

What does it cost?

Medical weight loss is priced per vial at $600 to $750, and most patients, according to the practice, use a single vial a month. The practice states that pricing includes initial bloodwork and follow-up visits with a medical provider. It does not say whether the medication is part of the per-vial price, and it gives no total monthly cost.

New medspa treatments carry a $100 consultation fee at booking. That fee is applied toward your total at service and is not refunded unless you cancel with more than 24 hours notice. It does not say whether weight loss visits carry the same fee. The practice lists cash, check, CareCredit and major credit cards, plus third-party financing with low APR for up to 18 months, subject to credit approval. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, and it does not publish a price for BHRT.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the two prescribers handles weight loss and which handles hormone therapy, and who reviews your bloodwork and follow-up visits. Ask whether the per-vial price includes the medication, and what the full monthly cost comes to once bloodwork and follow-ups are counted. Ask whether the semaglutide is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether the $100 fee applies to weight loss and is credited toward your first month, and how long the program runs. Ask what lab work and follow-up cost after the first visit. For hormone therapy, ask the price and the testing required first. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether insurance or HSA funds can be used. The office number is (330) 443-0221.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss or hormone care from a practice that also does surgery and medspa work, and you can pay per vial or through financing. It is less likely to suit you if you need a full monthly price or insurance billing before you book, since neither is stated.
