About Riverhead Wellness & Weight Loss

What is Riverhead Wellness & Weight Loss?

Riverhead Wellness & Weight Loss is a medical practice run by a physician, located at 199 Spotnap Road, Suite 6A, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Dr. Nathan Miller is the physician and owner. The practice lists him as board certified in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and he is the only prescriber named on the clinic's site.

Medical weight loss and hormone care are the main services. The weight loss program uses GLP-1 medications and oral metabolic weight loss medications, and the clinic names Phentermine among its medications. A program starts with a medical history, bloodwork and an EKG, then adds dietary guidance, daily meal plans, and medications you take home the day of your visit. Hormone services include hormone optimization, hormone replacement therapy for men and women, and hormone pellet therapy. The clinic also offers peptide therapy, vitamin infusions, medical aesthetics and FemiLift.

Patients can book in person or by telehealth. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, and the phone number is 434-202-1583. The practice has 5 stars on Google from 127 reviews. In its own words: "Every plan begins with a thoughtful consultation and evolves with you."

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. The consultation is described as free, and the clinic lists financing through CareCredit. It does not say whether medication is included in any program price, whether it accepts insurance, or how plans are billed and cancelled. Before you book, ask for the full cost of your first visit and your first month of treatment.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription. Dr. Miller is the only prescriber named, so ask whether he writes every prescription, including for telehealth visits.

Ask whether any price includes the medication. If it does not, ask the monthly cost of the drug, whether it is brand name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. The clinic lists a Pharmacy Partners page but does not say which pharmacy fills prescriptions.

Ask what the bloodwork, the EKG, follow-up visits and meal plans cost on their own. Ask how hormone pellet therapy is priced and how often pellets are replaced. The clinic gives little detail on its peptide therapy, so ask which peptides it uses and what each one is for.

Ask which states its telehealth visits cover, since the clinic does not name them. Ask whether it bills insurance, how to cancel, and whether any fee is refundable.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led medical weight loss or hormone care, you can pay out of pocket, and you are willing to get every cost in writing before you commit. It may not suit you if you need prices posted before you call, since none are published.
