About Sana Vida Wellness Center

What is Sana Vida Wellness Center?

Sana Vida Wellness Center is a medical practice with offices in San Antonio, Bandera and Rockport, Texas, and it also offers virtual visits. Its services are medical weight loss, thyroid treatment, hormone replacement therapy, direct primary care and telehealth. The prescribers it names are Dr. P. John Schanen, APRN, listed as a family and emergency nurse practitioner, and Dr. Victor J Trevino, MD, listed as a family physician.

The weight loss program pairs prescribed tirzepatide and semaglutide with one-on-one video coaching and a nutrition consultation. The clinic names Mounjaro and Wegovy as its preferred medications and also lists phentermine among its options. Hormone services include bio-identical hormone pellet placement, whose price is listed as varying. The practice has a 4.9 rating on Google from 32 reviews, and it does not say how long it has been open. Office hours are listed Monday through Thursday only, and the times differ between towns.

This listing is for its Rockport office at 1704 Jenkins St.

What does it cost?

The initial consultation is a one-time, non-refundable fee of $99. Monthly service fees are $149 each for weight loss, thyroid optimization and hormone replacement therapy. Two bundles are listed: $199 for weight loss plus thyroid optimization, and $244.36 for hormone replacement therapy plus weight loss. A membership is also listed at $159 a month, "subject to confirmation," and it includes unlimited visits, automatic medication refills and further consultations. It is unclear whether the $149 fee and the $159 membership are the same charge.

The clinic is plain about one point. In its own words: "Please note that these prices are not negotiable, and the membership fee does not include costs for labs and medications." It does not say whether the $149 fee includes medication, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted. The membership requires a minimum of three months.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether medication is included in the monthly fee, and which charge you would pay each month, the $149 or the $159. Ask whether the medication is brand-name Mounjaro or Wegovy or a compounded version, and what it costs. Ask what lab work costs, since the clinic accepts recent labs or a blood draw at a Quest, LabCorp, Pathgroup or AnyLabTestNow location.

Ask which clinician signs your prescription and whether you will see the same one at follow-up visits. Ask whether your state is covered, because one section says only Texas, Colorado and Wyoming are served now, with other states coming soon. Ask how cancellation and refills work after the three-month minimum, and whether insurance is accepted. The clinic's phone number is (210) 879-4275.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a prescriber-led weight loss or hormone program you can mostly run by video, and you can cover a monthly fee, medication and labs for at least three months. It may not suit you if you need insurance billing or a price that includes medication, or if you live in a state where virtual visits are not yet available.
