What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no monthly rate for weight loss injections, and no price for hormone therapy or longevity care. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, or what its membership and cancellation terms are. Ask for each of these in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which physician will evaluate you and sign any prescription, and whether a different clinician handles follow-up visits. If a monthly price is quoted, ask whether it includes the injectable medication or bills it separately. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether the first visit has a fee. Ask whether visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask what peptide therapy involves and what it costs. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether you must commit to a set number of months.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Mount Pleasant, want one physician-directed practice for weight loss, hormone care and longevity services, and are willing to get prices and terms in writing before you commit. If you need a published price list or a telehealth option, wait until the clinic answers those questions.
