What is Cornerstone Medical Associates?
Cornerstone Medical Associates is an internal medicine and primary care practice at 127 Enon Springs Road East in Smyrna, Tennessee. Olawumi O. Ayo Akatue, MD, and Richmond A. Akatue, MD, founded the practice and are the physicians who prescribe there. It is part of Privia Medical Group, Tennessee. Its listed services are diabetes, thyroid conditions, insomnia, asthma and COPD, depression and anxiety, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight loss, and flu shots. Weight loss is one service among these, not the whole practice.
Google lists the practice with a 4.8 rating from 424 reviews, under the category Internist.
Weight loss care starts with a physical exam. After that, the doctors may recommend exercise and diet plans, FDA-approved medications, or customized nutrition programs. No specific weight loss medication is named. In its own words: "a personalized weight loss approach tailored to your specific health needs." Hormone therapy and peptide therapy are not among its listed services. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and no weekend hours are listed. The phone number is (615) 462-7316.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It also does not say whether medication is included in any weight loss fee, whether it accepts insurance, or what cash patients pay. Privia's network-wide material mentions care without membership fees, but it gives no figures for this office, so it does not tell you what you will pay here.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes your prescription and who follows you between visits. The practice describes both doctors monitoring progress but does not say who prescribes at each stage. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first exam, follow-up visits, and lab work cost. Ask whether the office takes your insurance. Ask whether weight loss visits can be done by video, since that is not stated for this office, even though Privia offers virtual appointments across its network. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether there is a minimum commitment.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a primary care practice in Smyrna that also offers physician-guided weight loss care, and you are comfortable asking for prices before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need hormone or peptide therapy, or if you need a published price list before you call.
