About Universal Primary Care & Aesthetics

What is Universal Primary Care & Aesthetics?

Universal Primary Care & Aesthetics is a family medicine practice at 105 Central Ave, Suite 100B, in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Its core work is primary care for adults and families: annual exams, preventive care, sick visits, lab review and medication management. Medical weight loss is one of several services it lists, along with chronic disease management, women's and men's health, aesthetics and wellness, and trilingual family care. In its own words: "Personalized weight management options, including lifestyle support and medical treatment when appropriate."

The prescriber the clinic names is Gutembergue Santos, DNP, FNP-C. The clinic describes Dr. Santos as a board-certified family nurse practitioner. The other team members named on the site, Gabryela, Isabela, Maria and Ilana, are listed by role only. The office is open Monday through Friday, with a midday closure for lunch and closed on weekends and major US holidays. Care is offered in English, Portuguese and Spanish. On Google the clinic has a rating of 5 from 8 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance or whether any monthly fee covers medication. Ask for those figures before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the weight loss prescription and who reviews your progress over time. Ask whether any fee covers the medication, or whether the drug is billed separately. The clinic does not name the medication it uses for weight loss, so ask what it is and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first visit, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether the clinic bills your insurance for them.

If you are looking at hormone therapy, the clinic does not describe it specifically, so ask which hormones are prescribed and how they are monitored. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say, and how you cancel or pause care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family practice near Goose Creek that handles primary care, chronic conditions and weight management in one place, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. It is a weaker fit if you want a single program with a set monthly price and a named medication, because the clinic does not publish either.
