About Capstone Medical Wellness Center

What is Capstone Medical Wellness Center?

Capstone Medical Wellness Center is a medical practice at 4807 Jonestown Road, Suite 141, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It describes itself as integrative and functional medicine, and it offers seven services: bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for women, individualized weight loss and wellness, testosterone replacement therapy for men, IV nutrition therapy, treatment of fatigue and mitochondrial dysfunction, complementary cancer therapy, and thermography. The practice names one prescriber, Dr. Jeffrey Backenstoes, D.O.

The office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8 am to 12 pm and 1 pm to 5 pm, and closed Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. You can call 717-695-6177. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.2 rating from 28 reviews.

On weight loss, the practice says: "We customize a weight loss plan to fit your needs, desires, and lifestyle." Its stated approach is to meet with you, review results, and then build a plan around what you need.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no per-visit rate and no monthly rate for any of the seven services. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether medication is included in any program. Ask for the full cost before you book, including the first consultation, any testing, follow-up visits, lab work, and each medication.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes any prescription, and whether Dr. Backenstoes sees you himself for it. If a weight loss program is offered, ask whether it includes any medication at all. If it does, ask whether that medication is brand-name or compounded, and what the monthly fee covers. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since the practice's three-step plan includes ordering testing before a plan is built.

Ask whether visits can be done by video or phone, or whether you must come to the Harrisburg office. For thermography, ask how the results are used alongside the screening your own doctor recommends. Finally, ask how you cancel a program, whether there is a contract, and whether any fees apply when you stop.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person medical visit in Harrisburg, you are prepared to pay cash for services insurance may not cover, and you want weight loss, hormone therapy and IV nutrition handled in one office. If you need a price before you walk in, or you need a clear answer on medication costs, call first and get those answers before you commit.
