About Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery

What is Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery?

Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, which goes by CAPS, is mainly a cosmetic surgery practice with offices in Upper Arlington and Dublin. It also runs a med spa, a dermatology service, a laser center and a Wellness Center. The weight loss and hormone services are part of the Wellness Center.

The Wellness Center lists semaglutide for weight loss, bioidentical hormone replacement, diagnostic solutions, supplements, nutrient injections, IV therapy and peptides. Semaglutide is the only medication it names. In its own words: "Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medical prescription used for managing adult weight loss."

The weight loss program is a monthly plan. It begins with a consultation to decide whether semaglutide fits, includes a weekly prescription and monthly check-ins with its specialists, and includes teaching on giving the injection at home. It does not name who prescribes for the program, and it does not say which office offers the Wellness Center services. The main phone line is 614.618.9282. Hours vary by location, and Saturday visits are by appointment only.

What does it cost?

The weight loss program has an introductory price of $399 a month, offered for a limited time. The first consultation is complimentary. The program description lists the weekly prescription among what the program includes, but it does not state plainly whether the $399 covers the medication itself.

It does not publish prices for hormone replacement or other Wellness Center services. It mentions financing for procedures, saying "Financing options are available to make your procedures affordable," but it does not say whether financing applies to the weight loss program. It does not say whether insurance is accepted. Cancellation and commitment terms are not published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who prescribes the semaglutide and who reviews your medical history, since no prescriber is named for the program. Ask whether the $399 monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the semaglutide is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the monthly visits, lab work and any diagnostic testing cost beyond the monthly fee. Ask what hormone replacement costs and whether it is billed separately, and ask which office offers the Wellness Center services.

Ask how cancellation works, whether you must commit to a number of months, and what the monthly price becomes after the introductory offer. If you plan to use insurance, an HSA or financing, ask whether any of them apply to the weight loss program.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want cosmetic or med spa care at the same practice, you would like weight loss or hormone questions handled in one place, and you are comfortable paying cash. If you need insurance to cover any part of it, or you want the prescriber's name and the program's terms in writing before the first visit, call first and get those answers before you book.
