What is Carolinas Weight Loss Institute?
Carolinas Weight Loss Institute is a weight loss clinic with an office in Greenville, South Carolina. The phone number is (864) 268-4600. The clinic also has offices in Gastonia, Forest City, Matthews, Columbus and Morganton, North Carolina. Gastonia is listed as its main location.
Weight loss is the main service. The clinic also offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and what it calls Anti-Aging Programs. Those programs include specialized lab testing, a detoxification protocol, anti-aging supplements and medical foods, and a nutrition plan it calls the Cellular Healing Diet. The weight loss program is called the 40 Day Transformation and begins with a free consultation.
The clinic names one doctor for Greenville, Dr. Mike Shride, DC. Patients are supervised by a physician during active treatment, but the clinic does not name that physician. The program was designed by founder Dr. Lidia Adkins, who manages patients at the Gastonia location. Google shows the clinic with a rating of 5 from 10 reviews, in the category Weight loss service.
This listing is for its Greenville office at 1318 Haywood Rd # C.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices. The first visit is free. That visit includes a proprietary metabolic analysis, after which the clinic creates a nutrition plan and prescribes a custom natural formulation. In its own words: "Our plans are affordable and we offer payment plans if necessary."
The clinic does not say whether insurance is accepted, and it does not say whether the program fee includes medication. Ask both before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which doctor signs your prescriptions and who the supervising physician is at the Greenville office, since only Dr. Mike Shride, DC is named. Ask whether the program fee includes medication and supplements, and what the supplements cost on their own. If a prescription is part of the plan, ask which drug it is, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs each month.
For hormone therapy, ask what lab work comes first, how often follow-up labs are drawn, and what each one costs. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask for the Greenville office hours, because none are listed. Finally, ask whether HSA or FSA cards can be used, how cancellation works, and whether you pay in advance for a month.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying out of pocket for weight loss or hormone care, want a free first visit before you commit, and are willing to get prescriber and pricing answers in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need insurance billing, a published price list, or a named physician who signs every prescription.
