About Family Care & Wellness

What is Family Care & Wellness?

Family Care & Wellness is a family medicine practice at 915 W Exchange Pkwy, Suite 210, in Allen, Texas. It sees men, women, and children ages six and up. Its core work is primary care, with annual physicals, urgent and sick visits, chronic medical condition care, allergy testing and treatment, and direct primary care. Weight loss and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy are two of its listed services, alongside IV vitamin therapy.

Tariq Mallick, MD is board-certified in family medicine and is a graduate of the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Medicine. Zayba Hoda, PA-C is a certified physician assistant and a certified health coach. Both are prescribers. The weight loss program uses Semaglutide, and the hormone program uses Pure-T® Pellets, which are placed under the skin during a brief outpatient procedure. Labs are done on site through Quest. The practice serves Allen and nearby towns including McKinney, Plano, Frisco, Parker, Lucas, Richardson, Murphy, and Melissa.

In its own words: "Helping you lose weight involves understanding your life challenges and your behaviors towards food and activity to create an individualized plan that works for you."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The practice offers a free informative consultation by phone or in person. It says most private insurances are accepted, and its network list includes Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare. For people without insurance, or with high deductible plans, it offers a monthly membership program. The membership is also described for employers. The practice does not say what the membership costs, what it covers, or whether weight loss medication is included. It does not state a membership commitment or cancellation terms, and it does not list office hours or say whether telehealth is available. Ask for each of these before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will write your prescription and whether that is Dr. Mallick or Ms. Hoda. Ask whether the monthly membership fee includes the Semaglutide or the Pure-T® Pellets, or whether those are billed separately. Ask whether the medications are brand-name products or compounded, and what the source is. Ask what the follow-up visits cost, and what the lab work through Quest costs when it is not covered by insurance. Ask whether the first visit is billed, and how to cancel a membership, how much notice is required, and whether any fee applies. If you want a visit by video, ask whether telehealth is offered at all. Ask for the office hours too.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family doctor who also handles weight loss or hormone therapy, and you either have insurance the practice accepts or are willing to pay its membership. Call first if you are looking for a cash-only program with published prices, because the practice does not publish them.
