The Good Drop

About The Good Drop

What is The Good Drop?

The Good Drop is a clinic at 824 McAlpine Street in Avoca, PA 18641, a small town about midway between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. It describes itself as a ketamine clinic, and ketamine therapy for conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and chronic pain is its main work. Four of its services are the ones covered here: tirzepatide weight loss injections, bioidentical hormone pellet therapy, peptide therapy and NAD+ therapy. It also lists genetic methylation testing, IV vitamin therapy, lab services, medical marijuana cards and a vitamin shop.

Russell E. James II MD is the one physician named. Kelly Anne Wilson RN, LNC, PHRN and Mara Capozzi, RN are also listed on the team. Google shows the clinic at 4.9 from 26 reviews. Its hours are Wednesday through Saturday, by appointment, and the phone number is 570-701-6044.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone or peptide care, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. The consultation is free. On payment, it says: "The Good Drop accepts cash, cards, checks, Venmo, and health insurance (to help defer your out-of-pocket costs)." It does not say whether insurance covers weight loss or hormone visits, so ask before you assume it does.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which clinician writes the prescription for tirzepatide and for hormone pellets. The clinic names one physician and two nurses without saying who prescribes those treatments. Ask whether any monthly or program fee includes the medication, whether the tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy supplies it. For the peptides, ask whether each one is a prescription drug or a compounded product, since the clinic sells named peptides and combined "stacks."

Ask what labs, follow-up visits and pellet re-dosing cost. Pellets are replaced every few months, so each round is a recurring expense. Ask whether any visit can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask how to cancel and whether any prepaid program is refundable. Finally, ask the doctor whether tirzepatide suits your medical history, because its doctor consults with each patient on that.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Wilkes-Barre or Scranton, want weight loss, hormone, peptide or NAD+ care from a clinic that also offers ketamine therapy, and are ready to get the prescriber, the monthly cost and the medication details in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or a clear answer on telehealth before you call.
