About Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness

What is Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness?

Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness is mainly an orthopaedic practice in Monroeville, PA. Its services include orthopaedic surgery, foot and ankle surgery, sports medicine, regenerative medicine and biologics therapy, EPAT, imaging, and workers' compensation care. Weight loss and hormone replacement therapy are also on its list, and it offers anti-aging medicine too. Dr. Victor Prisk, MD, is the CEO and medical director. Elizabeth R. Headlee, CRNP, MSN-FNP, BC-MHN, leads the weight loss program. The clinic has three offices, all in Monroeville.

The weight loss program starts with an initial 30-minute evaluation with Dr. Prisk or the nurse practitioner. That visit covers history and exam, body fat assessment, a review of diet and supplements, and screening for hormone deficiencies. Follow-up visits run 15 minutes and cover lab review, diet plan updates, and hormone or supplement prescriptions. The clinic names Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro and phentermine among its medications. In its own words: "Prisk Orthopaedics and Wellness looks at weight as more than a basic, stand-alone health issue."

This listing is for its Monroeville office at 2490 Mosside Blvd.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It says training and consult packages are available, but it does not say what they cost or what they include. It does not say whether medication is part of a package, and it does not mention a consultation fee, HSA payment or financing. The clinic names several insurers, including Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield, but it does not say whether any of them cover weight loss or hormone care. Call (412) 525-7692 and ask for everything in writing before your first visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and who you will see for follow-up. The program is led by Elizabeth Headlee, and the first visit is with Dr. Prisk or the nurse practitioner, so find out who manages your care after that. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the initial evaluation and each follow-up cost, and what lab work costs, since follow-up visits include lab review. Ask whether any follow-up can be done by video, because the clinic does not say. Ask how cancellation works and whether package terms can be sent to you in writing. If you are interested in peptide therapy, ask about it directly. The clinic lists regenerative medicine and biologics therapy but does not describe peptide therapy.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss or hormone care from a practice where a physician and a nurse practitioner are both on staff, and you are comfortable paying out of pocket once you have the package terms in writing. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price before you call, since none is posted.
