About Dr. Heather Friedman ND LAc

What is Dr. Heather Friedman ND LAc?

Dr. Heather Friedman ND LAc is a medical aesthetics practice in Portland, Oregon, based at Heal House, 1734 NE Broadway Street. Most of its work is injectables and skin treatments. Google lists it as a medical spa, with a 4.9 rating from 147 reviews. Weight loss is one of its services, alongside the aesthetic ones.

The practitioner named is Dr. Heather Friedman, ND, LAc. Her bio says she graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine in 2015 and describes her as a board-certified Naturopathic Physician and Licensed Acupuncturist. The clinic lists Botox, fillers, Sculptra, Radiesse, Kybella, microneedling, chemical peels, PRP therapy, IV therapy, vitamin injections, B12-MIC shots, and semaglutide. It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy. It describes its service area as Portland, Oregon and the surrounding areas.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish a price for semaglutide. Its semaglutide listing reads "Price: TBD" and gives the appointment length as 30 minutes. Botox is the one service with a figure attached. Its Botox post gives a range of $12 to $17 per unit, and the number of units is set at consultation.

The clinic does not state a consultation fee, a membership option, or financing. It does not say whether it takes insurance, whether it accepts HSA funds, or whether the semaglutide medication is included in any fee.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes the semaglutide prescription, and will that clinician see you before it is written? The clinic does not name a prescriber for its weight loss service, so ask.

Is the semaglutide price per month or per injection, and does it include the medication?

Is the semaglutide brand-name or compounded?

How many B12-MIC or MIC sessions are usually involved, and what does the full series cost? Its MIC post describes a series of injections without giving a price.

What do follow-up visits and any lab work cost?

How do cancellations and refunds work? The clinic links a refund policy page, so read it before you pay.

Can any part of the visit be done by telehealth? The clinic does not say.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want injectables, skin treatments, or Botox in Portland and you are ready to ask about the semaglutide prescriber and price before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need a price for weight loss before the first visit, or if you need a clinic that bills insurance.
