About Visions Medical Health Care

What is Visions Medical Health Care?

Visions Medical Health Care is a primary care and house calls practice with offices in Spartanburg and Varnville, South Carolina. It was founded on October 1, 2018 by Tamieka Alston-Gibson, FNP, NP, who is the founder, chief provider and prescriber. Care is offered in the office, at home through house calls, or by virtual visit.

Its services include sick visits, sports physicals, vaccinations, COVID-19 testing, in-house lab work, pre-op surgical clearance, health screenings, wellness checkups, remote patient monitoring and IV hydration. House calls cover residential homes, assisted living facilities and homeless shelters. Medical weight loss is one of its services, and it also runs the Shot Spot, a health and wellness lounge that offers medical weight loss and a range of injections. It does not say which address the Shot Spot is at, and it does not name the medication used in its weight loss program.

Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 223 reviews, under the category weight loss service.

This listing is for its Spartanburg office at 169 Hall St.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for medical weight loss, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. It advertises in-office plans starting as low as $25 weekly, but it does not say what those plans cover. It also describes in-house memberships with prescriptions and business memberships for small business owners, without stating their terms or cancellation rules.

It does not state a fee for the first visit, but it does offer a complementary call before any service begins. In its own words: "Consultation Services begin with a complementary 15 minute discovery call to understand your needs and expectations of the services offered."

Insurance is less clear. It says insurance plans are accepted, and it also advertises cash-pay care for people without insurance. It does not say which plans it takes.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription and whether your first visit is with Tamieka Alston-Gibson, FNP, NP, or another provider. Ask whether the weekly or monthly plan includes medication, and which medication it is. If the medication is compounded rather than brand-name, ask which pharmacy fills it.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed on top of any plan. Ask which insurance plans are accepted and which address the Shot Spot uses. Ask what happens to a membership if you want to cancel, and whether there is a commitment period. The main office line is 864-358-9278.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care practice that makes house calls or offers virtual visits, and you are ready to get written answers on cost and medication before you book medical weight loss or injections.
