About Murfreesboro Weight Loss Clinic

What is Murfreesboro Weight Loss Clinic?

Murfreesboro Weight Loss Clinic is the Murfreesboro office of PathPoint Health, a practice that describes its main work as medical weight management and metabolic health care. The office sits near the Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford campus. The company also has offices in Nashville and Clarksville, Tennessee, and in Jacksonville, Florida. The clinic describes decades of experience treating metabolic conditions and obesity.

Deseree “Dez” Prentice, DO, is listed as an obesity medicine physician. Victoria “Niki” Chester, MSN, FNP-C, and Hollie Huxtable, DNP, FNP-C, are listed as advanced practice providers and as prescribers. Two dietitians, Abbie Hudson, MS, RDN, CLC, and Laura Iacono, MS, RDN, LDN, are on staff. The clinic offers medical management, GLP-1 therapy, nutrition counseling, behavioral support, remote support between visits, and coordinated diagnostics. No hormone therapy, peptide or longevity service is listed for this location.

Visits are a mix of in-person and virtual appointments. GLP-1 prescribing works differently. In its own words: “Our clinicians see our patients in person, and manage and monitor their care over time, never from an online questionnaire or telehealth appointment alone.” The clinic serves Rutherford County, including Smyrna, La Vergne, Christiana, Eagleville, Rockvale, Lacassas and Blackman, and it also sees patients from Woodbury, Shelbyville, Manchester and Nolensville. Google lists it as a medical clinic rated 5 from 17 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for this location. No consultation fee is listed, and nothing states whether GLP-1 medication is included in any price. The clinic accepts insurance and is in network with most major plans, including BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Oscar, Humana, Wellpoint and HealthSpring, among others.

Membership terms, cancellation, financing and HSA use are not stated. The company's general write-up on oral GLP-1 pills gives a self-pay price of $149 per month for the starting 1.5 mg dose of the Wegovy pill. That figure is not a price for this location, so use it only as a starting point for your questions.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and who follows your care between visits, since no split of that work is described. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the product is brand-name or compounded. The company's Nashville GLP-1 write-up notes FDA warnings about unapproved and compounded products sold online and through some med spas, so the question is worth asking here too.

Ask what visits, lab work and follow-up cost, and which of them can be done virtually. Ask whether your plan is one of those in network and what it would cover. Get the consultation fee and the cancellation and refund terms in writing before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Rutherford County, want your medication managed alongside nutrition and behavioral support, and are willing to get the full cost in writing before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices before you call, or if you want GLP-1 care handled entirely online.
