What is Advanced Age Management?
Advanced Age Management is a physician-owned clinic at 6438 Ridge Rd in Sharon Center, Ohio. The phone number is 216-471-8220. Its main focus is hormone and health optimization for men, and it also lists women's hormone replacement therapy. Its services fall into four groups: medical weight loss, hormone therapy, growth hormone releasing peptide therapy, and age management.
Dr. John Kocka, M.D., is the medical supervisor. He is a board certified age management specialist, with certifications from the American Academy of Anti Aging and the Cenegenetics Medical Institute. Rachel Budd, CNP, has practiced as a certified nurse practitioner since 2005 and has been with the clinic since 2021. These two are the only people named as prescribers.

What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. A free consultation comes first, and the clinic explains why in its own words: "Rather than listing a single price on a website, we offer a free brief phone screening to see if this program is right for you and then schedule a personalized consultation to discuss treatment options, and medication costs."
It offers financing options. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a monthly price includes medication, or what its membership and cancellation terms are. Promotional offers for new patients are mentioned with no details, and medical weight loss patients can receive a discount on the hormone screening evaluation, with no amount given.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which prescriber would sign for the medication you want, Dr. Kocka or Rachel Budd, CNP. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication. Ask whether the medicine is a brand name product or a compounded combination, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what follow-up visits, bloodwork and body composition readings cost, since the clinic describes regular follow-up without listing prices.
Ask whether telemedicine is available in your state, because the clinic does not name the states it serves by telehealth. Ask whether it accepts insurance and whether HSA or FSA cards can be used. Ask how cancellation works and whether a membership would lock you in.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live near Sharon Center, Medina, Akron, Cleveland or Wadsworth and want cash-pay hormone, peptide or weight loss care from a named physician or nurse practitioner. It may not suit you if you need published prices or confirmed insurance coverage before your first call.
