About DWH Medical Center

What is DWH Medical Center?

DWH Medical Center is a family medicine practice with offices in Allentown and Quakertown, Pennsylvania. It says it serves patients from in and around Allentown, Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. The phone number is (610) 419-3388. Danny Hernandez, MD, CIME is the prescriber named, and the clinic describes him as board certified in family medicine. He has been providing medical care to the community since 2002.

The listed services are family medicine, Suboxone treatment, pain management, EKG, weight loss, workers' compensation, bloodwork, CDL, and medical marijuana. Weight loss is one service among these, not the main focus.

Weight loss is offered at both offices. In its own words: "He gives practical advice, meal planning, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injections, and when necessary, prescription medication." It says he sets short and long term goals, screens for hormonal problems, and holds regular appointments to track progress. It does not say which weight loss medications it prescribes. Google users rate the clinic 4.8 from 284 reviews, and Google lists it under weight loss services.

This listing is for its Allentown office at 1707 Hamilton St..

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no weight loss price and no consultation fee. It does not publish weight loss program length or terms, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. It says it accepts all of the insurances listed, but it names no plans, and it does not say whether insurance covers weight loss visits. If you plan to pay out of pocket, ask for the full cost in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the weight loss prescription and whether Dr. Hernandez is the doctor you will see for it. Ask which weight loss medications are prescribed, whether they are brand name or compounded, and whether the monthly fee includes them. If HCG injections are part of your plan, ask what they cost and how often they are given.

Ask what the first visit costs, and what follow up visits and lab work cost. Ask how long a program runs, whether telehealth is an option, which the clinic does not address, and how to cancel. A Quakertown office is named but no street address is given, so ask for that address before you plan the trip.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a doctor who also handles general family medicine, you can visit the Allentown or Quakertown office in person, and you are willing to get prices and medication details in writing before you commit. It is a weaker match if you need published prices, a telehealth option, or a named list of medications before you book.
