About GERFIN MEDICAL GROUP
What is Gerfin Medical Group?
Gerfin Medical Group is a cash-pay practice at 707 North State Street in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Its main focus is weight control, and it also certifies patients for Pennsylvania's medical marijuana program. Frank Hannagan, M.D., is the prescriber named on the practice's pages. He graduated from Tufts Medical School in 1978, is board certified in Internal Medicine, and has been a board certified emergency physician for more than 30 years.
The weight program pairs a prescribed nutrition and exercise plan with appetite-suppressant medication, which the practice says it uses at each patient's discretion. Phentermine is the one medication it names, and it says phentermine is the one it prescribes most often. In its own words: "Dr. Hannagan will tailor a program to fit your needs." Google lists the practice as a weight loss service with a rating of 5 from 7 reviews.
What does it cost?
The first visit costs $125 and includes 4 weeks of medication. The practice does not accept health insurance. It takes cash only, with no credit or debit cards and no checks. It does not publish what visits or medication cost after that first four weeks, so ask before you book. Medical marijuana certification costs $200 for a new patient and $100 to renew. Insurance does not cover that certification, and you pay in cash at the appointment.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the cost after the first month. Ask what the medication costs for each month after the first four weeks and what a follow-up visit costs, since the only price published is for the initial visit. Ask whether the medication is a brand name product or a compounded one, since that is not stated. Ask what lab work costs if the program requires it. Ask how to stop or cancel, since no membership terms are stated anywhere.
Ask whether Dr. Hannagan is the one who writes each prescription, since he is the only prescriber named. Ask whether telehealth is available, since it is not mentioned.
Hours are the other gap. Only Friday and Saturday, 9am to 12pm, are listed, so ask about weekday hours and about the summer hours for July and August 2026 posted on the homepage. The practice prefers appointments. Walk-ins are accepted during open hours but must arrive no later than 30 minutes before closing. The office number is 570-585-0905.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician-led, cash-pay weight program with prescription medication, can get to a Friday or Saturday morning appointment, and are comfortable paying the full cost yourself. It is not a match if you are looking for hormone, peptide or longevity care, which the practice does not list among its services.
