What is OptimalSelf MD?
OptimalSelf MD is a physician-owned clinic at 309 E. Stone Avenue in Greenville, South Carolina. It calls itself a medical wellness, plastic surgery and aesthetics center, and most of its listed services are surgical or cosmetic, from breast and body surgery to fillers and facials. Google lists its category as medical spa. The weight loss, hormone and peptide care sits on the wellness side. Dr. Katherine Birchenough, MD, and Amy Martin, APRN, FNP-BC, NP, are the two people the clinic names as prescribers. Dr. Shawn Birchenough is a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast surgery and aesthetics.
The weight loss program is called Metabolic Repair for Sustainable Weight Loss. It includes lab testing, a body composition scan, prescription medications as needed (including GLP-1 medications, peptides, hormones or thyroid support), a supplement plan, and nutrition and lifestyle coaching. The clinic also offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men and women, and IV Nutrient Therapy & Peptides. It does not describe peptides as a separate treatment. It is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and closed on weekends. It has a 5 rating on Google from 651 reviews.
This listing is for its Greenville office at 25 S Laurens St.
What does it cost?
OptimalSelf MD does not publish prices for any of its programs. It says it charges a fee for an in-office consultation, but it does not give the amount. It also does not say whether any price includes medication. It accepts cash or credit, and it offers financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon. It does not say whether insurance is accepted. Its phone number is 864-214-5232.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who will write your prescription and who you will see for follow-up visits. Ask whether the program fee includes GLP-1 or hormone medication, or whether those are billed separately. If a medication is offered, ask whether it is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether the phone consultation costs the same as the in-office one. In its own words: "Our recommendation is that you schedule a phone consultation as a first step." Then ask what the lab work, the body composition scan and the follow-up visits cost.
Ask whether any part of the care can be done by video, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether the program is a membership, how it renews, and how cancellation works. Get the cancellation terms in writing. Finally, ask whether insurance is accepted, or whether financing is the only way to pay.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss, hormone or peptide care in the same office as cosmetic or surgical work, you live in Greenville or one of the towns it names (Simpsonville, Greer or Spartanburg), and you are ready to pay cash or use financing once you know the full cost. If you want a published price list or insurance billing, ask before you book.
