About Forest Acres Well Care
What is Forest Acres Well Care?
Forest Acres Well Care is a wellness clinic with offices in Columbia and Lexington, South Carolina. Google lists it as a wellness center and shows a rating of 5 from 207 reviews. It offers medical weight loss, hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, sexual wellness, vitamin and mineral injections, and pain management, though most of its pages focus on the first three.
Its prescribers are Gokul Gondi, MD, listed as medical director, and Matt Vanderlugt, PA-C. Gondi's biography describes him as an anesthesiologist. Vanderlugt's describes him as a board-certified physician assistant with a particular interest in hormone replacement therapy.
The weight loss program begins with weekly in-office visits for four weeks, then check-ups weekly or monthly. The clinic does not name its weight loss medication. Hormone care includes testosterone by injection or topical gel. The peptide pages name growth hormone peptides, NAD+, and PT-141, and the vitamin page lists B12, vitamin D, and glutathione among its injections.
What does it cost?
Medical weight loss is listed at $375 for the first four weeks and $375 a month after that, and the clinic offers a complimentary consultation for it. Peptide therapy starts at $150 a month, with a $100 consultation fee applied toward your purchase. Hormone therapy has a $150 consultation fee. In its own words: "This fee is applied towards your medication balance if you decide to move forward with Treatment." Bloodwork is required before that consultation and may be covered by your insurance. Vitamin and mineral injections are $20 each or $60 a month. It does not publish prices for pain management. It does not state whether it accepts insurance, whether the monthly fees include medication, or how cancellation works.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for each program and who you will see at follow-up visits. Ask whether the $375 monthly fee includes medication, and whether the weight loss drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask the same about the $150 monthly peptide price, and which peptide it covers. The peptide page lists a $100 consultation fee and also invites a complimentary consultation, so confirm which applies. For hormone care, ask what medication costs on top of the $150 consultation and what follow-up bloodwork costs. Ask whether telehealth is available and whether the clinic takes insurance. Ask how to cancel a monthly program and whether any fee is due. The Lexington office is listed by phone only, so ask whether it offers the same programs.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying out of pocket for weight loss, hormone, or peptide care and want named prescribers on each program. It is a weaker fit if you need answers on insurance or cancellation before you commit, since neither is stated.
