About Pohorence Health & Wellness

What is Pohorence Health & Wellness?

Pohorence Health & Wellness is a walk-in practice at 2480 Martin Luther King Jr Dr, Orange, TX 77630. Its main work is acute illness and injury care, with same-day appointments and in-office rapid testing for flu, strep, COVID, RSV and mono. It also treats minor injuries such as lacerations, burns and sprains. In its own words: "Walk ins welcome". It offers wellness and preventative care, physicals, aesthetics, and a practitioner-guided weight loss program.

The weight loss program starts with a review of your medical history and a discussion of what has and has not worked for you before. It does not name the medications it uses.

Joel Pohorence, APRN, FNP-C, MSN founded the practice and is the only prescriber it names. He has over 26 years in the medical field. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and closed Saturday and Sunday. The phone number is 409-291-5532. It has a Google rating of 5 from 94 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish a price for its weight loss program, and it does not state a consultation fee. It lists a self-pay option starting at $80 and sports physicals for $20, but it does not say what the $80 covers. It accepts insurance, and says most major insurances are accepted. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, and it does not describe membership terms, cancellation or financing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will prescribe in the weight loss program. The clinic does not say whether that is Joel Pohorence or another practitioner. Ask whether the program includes medication, which medication it uses, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the $80 self-pay option covers, and what consultations, follow-up visits and lab work cost, since none of those are published. Ask whether telehealth is available, because the clinic does not say. Finally, ask how you cancel or stop the program, and whether charges end when you do.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you need a walk-in clinic for everyday illness, an injury, or a school, sports or DOT physical, and you would also like a cash-pay weight loss visit. Get the prescriber, medication and fee answers in writing before you pay for the weight loss part.
