What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, or whether the drug is billed separately by a pharmacy. The clinic lists its tirzepatide as "with Glycine," so ask whether it is the brand name product or a compounded version, and who makes it. Ask who signs the prescription and whether Dr. Hazelitt sees you in person before the first one is written.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they go through insurance or are paid directly. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the clinic does not say. Ask for the consultation fee and how to cancel if you stop. One section uses a different practice name, so ask which name will appear on your bill. Ask for the clinic's hours, since none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medical weight loss or hormone care in Corpus Christi, you plan to pay out of pocket or with one of the listed insurance plans, and you are ready to confirm the medication cost, lab charges and prescriber before you book. If you need telehealth, membership terms or posted hours, call 361-391-5056 first, because none are stated.
