What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, for consultations, pain procedures, the weight loss program, or hormone therapy. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, or whether any price includes the medication. A 10% discount code appears on the home page, but it does not say what the code applies to. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30AM to 4:30PM, and visits are by appointment only. A call to (830) 515-5131 is the quickest way to get numbers.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the semaglutide prescription. Dr. Lai is the only physician named, but it is not stated who prescribes semaglutide or hormone therapy. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether the semaglutide is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first consultation costs and whether follow-up visits are billed separately. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since none of that is priced. Acupuncture is offered as the other weight loss option, so ask what it costs per visit or per month, and how many visits a program involves. For pain procedures, ask whether insurance is accepted and what each procedure costs in cash. Ask whether telehealth is available, and how you cancel or pause a program.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you need interventional pain procedures or acupuncture near Spring Branch, want a physician with anesthesiology and pain medicine training, and are comfortable calling for prices before you book. It is a harder fit if you need published prices, insurance details, or telehealth before you commit, since none of those are published here.
