About Nason MedSpa and Weight Loss

What is Nason MedSpa and Weight Loss?

Nason MedSpa and Weight Loss is a weight loss practice at 2233 Northwoods Blvd., North Charleston, SC 29406. Despite the name, its listed services are both weight loss: a general Weight Loss program and Weight Loss with Semaglutide. Semaglutide is an injectable medication, and the practice offers it to adults who qualify as candidates.

The prescribers listed are Barron Nason, MD, founder and medical director, and Ben Moreland, PA-C. Dr. Nason has over twenty years of experience treating patients in emergency rooms and urgent care and is board certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. The program is described as compounding a blend of semaglutide and lipotropic B-12 ingredients. Ozempic, Rybelsus and Wegovy are named as brand-name products that contain semaglutide. The Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 64 reviews.

In its own words: "Nason MedSpa provides expert consultations and medical oversight for weight loss using the breakthrough weight loss drug, Semaglutide, for those who qualify as candidates."

What does it cost?

Prices start at $485 per month. The word "start" means that figure is a floor, so ask what the monthly total becomes as treatment goes on. Whether the $485 includes the medication is not stated. No consultation fee is published. Insurance, HSA or financing, membership terms and cancellation terms are not addressed.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $485 covers the medication, and what your full monthly total would be. Ask whether the semaglutide is a brand-name product or the compounded blend, and who makes the compound. Ask who signs the prescription and who handles follow-up, since both Dr. Nason and Ben Moreland, PA-C, are listed. Ask what the consultation costs, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of the monthly fee. Ask whether the clinic accepts insurance, HSA funds or financing, and whether visits can be done remotely. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum commitment. Ask what medical history you will need to share before any prescription is written. No hours are listed, so ask for those too. The office number is (843) 900-6765.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a semaglutide program with in-person visits in North Charleston, can pay a monthly fee out of pocket, and are willing to get the total cost and the prescriber's role in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need one clear, all-in monthly figure before you book.
