About pēkomd®

What is pēkomd®?

pēkomd® is mainly a plastic surgery and aesthetic practice with offices in Toledo, Dayton, Columbus, and Worthington, Ohio. Its surgical and non-surgical menus make up most of what it offers. The wellness side is called pēkWellness, and it holds the weight management program along with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), peptide therapy, and lifestyle counseling.

The weight management program is described as medically supervised and uses a once-weekly injection described as FDA-approved. The medication itself is not named. Dr. Matthew Fourman, FACS, MD, is the prescriber the clinic names, and he leads the program. The clinic recommends weekly check-in messages with its staff and tracking your progress. BHRT and peptide therapy are listed, but there is no detail on what either involves.

This listing is for its Toledo office at 7634 W. Central Avenue.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for weight management, hormone therapy, or peptide therapy. It does not say whether a consultation fee applies, or whether a monthly fee would include the medication. Insurance does not cover this drug. In its own words: "Most insurance companies are not covering the drug, so through pēkomd®, your medication would be self-pay."

It mentions several payment options and says a health savings account (HSA) may be an option. Its resources menu lists financing options, but it does not say what they cost. On commitment, in its own words: "No, there is not a contract." Ask for the terms of its cancellation and late policy before you pay anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription, and how often you would see Dr. Fourman in person compared with messages from staff. Ask whether the monthly price includes the medication and what the total comes to each month. The injection is described as FDA-approved but is not named, so ask for the exact product and whether it is a brand-name drug or a compounded one.

Ask what the first consultation costs and whether it counts toward treatment. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are required. Ask whether weekly check-ins are included in the fee, and whether any part of the program can be done by telehealth, which is not addressed. Finally, ask how to cancel and what it costs to stop, and get the answer in writing.

For hormone or peptide care, ask who prescribes, what the first visit involves, and what testing comes before any treatment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want a plastic surgery practice that also offers wellness care, and you are ready to pay cash for medication without insurance. Get the monthly total and the product name in writing before you book. If you need insurance to cover the drug, or you want prices and medication names published before you call, this clinic may not match what you need.
