What is Ruthie Harper, MD?
Ruthie Harper, MD is a functional medicine practice in Austin, Texas, at 3901 Medical Pkwy #100 in the Austin Surgeons Bldg. Ruthie Harper, MD is the only person named as a prescriber. The practice describes its approach as "functional, integrative, and personalized," and cosmetic work such as Botox and hair restoration fills much of the service list.
Of the four service types, it clearly offers two. Its weight loss shots are listed under Ozempic, Wegovy, Tirzepatide and Mounjaro. Its hormone care covers bioidentical hormone replacement, separate women's and men's programs, and menopause care. It also lists an Executive Health Program and a Pillars of Health Program, which are the closest things here to longevity care. It does not list peptide therapy.
The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, and closed Friday. Austin patients book an in-person consultation and health evaluation. Patients elsewhere in Texas can book virtual appointments. In its own words: "If you live in Texas, outside the Austin area or prefer telemedicine, we offer virtual appointments." Google shows a 4.8 rating from 41 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee listed, and no price for the weight loss shots, hormone therapy or lab work. It does not say whether a program fee includes the medication, whether insurance is accepted, or how membership and cancellation work. Financing is mentioned, but no terms are stated. Get every figure in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the prescription. Ask who writes and renews it, and whether renewals happen in person or by video. For the weight loss shots, ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the consultation costs, whether that fee counts toward treatment, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether insurance or HSA funds can be used for any part of the care.
Then ask about exits. Find out how cancellation works, and whether any financing carries a minimum term. If you live outside Austin, ask which visits can be done virtually and whether the first one must be in person.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying cash for weight loss or hormone care, you want a physician named as the prescriber, and you are willing to get prices and terms in writing before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or insurance billing up front, or if you are looking for peptide therapy.
