About BASE Family Medicine

What is BASE Family Medicine?

BASE Family Medicine is a primary care practice in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Kevin Dunn, M.D., DABFM, runs it and is the only prescriber named. Dr. Dunn is board-certified in Family Medicine. He earned his medical degree from Thomas Jefferson University and completed his residency through Temple University. He also attended the United States Military Academy at West Point and served as an officer in the United States Army, including a deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.

The practice describes its core work as family medicine, with annual physicals and sick visits. It also offers hormone optimization, weight management, metabolic health, supplement guidance, and peptide therapy. The peptide therapies come from licensed compounding pharmacies. The clinic does not name specific peptide products or any weight loss medication. On Google it has a 5 rating from 9 reviews and is listed under weight loss services.

In its own words: "We take time to understand your story, your goals, and your unique challenges."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It also does not say whether its fees cover medication, whether it bills insurance, or whether it accepts HSA funds or offers financing. Staff can answer questions about insurance, but the practice does not say whether it accepts insurance. Ask for the cost of the first visit, the cost of follow-up visits and lab work, and what each fee includes before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs your prescriptions, and whether Dr. Dunn sees you personally at every visit. Ask whether your hormone or peptide medication is compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and if not, what the medication costs on top of it. Ask what follow-up visits and blood work cost and how often labs are repeated. Ask whether telehealth visits are available, since the clinic does not say. Ask for the street address and office hours, which are not published. Finally, ask how the cancellation policy works and whether there is a fee to leave. You can start with a call to 610-214-4000.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a board-certified family physician who handles your primary care and also offers hormone, weight, or peptide care, and you are ready to pay cash for those services. If you need prices, a street address, or a list of the medications the clinic uses before you commit, get those answers first.
