About Shelley Cole, M.D. - Central Texas Integrative Medicine Specialist

What is Healthy Success?

Healthy Success is an integrative medicine practice in Temple, Texas, listed as Shelley Cole, M.D., Central Texas Integrative Medicine Specialist. Shelley Cole, M.D. is the only prescriber named. The clinic describes itself as an integrative health and wellness practice, but its weight loss and hormone services get the most space on its website. Its hormone services include hormone replacement therapy, hormones for women, testosterone for men, and hormone pellet therapy. Its weight loss plans pair hormone therapy with nutritional counseling. It also offers IV therapy, ozone therapy, a preventative medicine program, and Post-Covid Telemedicine. It does not list peptide therapy. The clinic does not name the medication it uses for weight loss or hormones, and it does not publish a street address, ZIP code, or office hours. By the clinic's own account, Dr. Cole has been at this for over 10 years. On Google the practice has a 4.5 rating from 13 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether it accepts insurance. Nothing it publishes says whether a program fee includes the medication, and it does not mention financing, HSA payment, membership terms, or cancellation. The clinic asks callers to phone (254) 343-7837 to schedule a weight loss consultation, so that call is where to get the numbers. Ask for the consultation fee, the monthly program price, and the cost of each test, since its weight loss section describes food sensitivity and nutrient testing without giving prices.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription, and whether Dr. Cole sees you before any hormone or weight loss medication is prescribed. Ask which hormone product is used. The clinic calls its therapy bioidentical but names no product, so ask whether the product is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication or bills it separately, what follow-up visits and testing cost, and how often they repeat. Ask whether follow-up can be done by video or phone. The clinic lists Post-Covid Telemedicine but does not say whether hormone or weight visits can be done remotely. Ask how a program is cancelled and whether any part is refundable. Finally, ask for the street address and office hours, which the clinic does not publish.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led practice for hormone therapy or medical weight loss, expect to pay for visits and medication yourself, and are willing to get prices and the medication name before you commit. It may not suit you if you need a published price list or insurance billing before you call, because the clinic publishes neither.
