About Welcome Health & Aesthetics

What is Welcome Health & Aesthetics?

Welcome Health & Aesthetics is a cash-pay clinic at 312 Cedar Lakes Dr, Suite 204, Chesapeake, VA 23322. The phone number is 757-296-0416. The named prescriber is Ericka Lavin, MSN, CNM, WHNP-BC, a Nurse Practitioner and the founder. She is a Certified Nurse Midwife and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of experience in women's health, and she has expanded into hormone health, weight management and medical aesthetics.

The practice offers three kinds of care. For weight loss, it runs programs that can include labs, GLP-1 medication when appropriate, vitamin or peptide injections and nutrition education. For hormones, it offers bioidentical hormone replacement for perimenopause and menopause. Its aesthetic menu includes Botox, Jeuveau, a Lip Flip and PDO threads. It is open by appointment, Wednesday to Saturday. It does not say whether it offers telehealth. Its Google rating is 5, from 12 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss prices are the clearest. The Weight Loss Starter Plan is $800 for 8 weeks, and it includes labs, a 1 hour session and medication for eligible patients. The Extended Weight Loss Treatment is $300 monthly, and it notes that additional services or medications may cost extra. The Strong and Fit 12-Week program is listed as "Varies," so it does not publish a number. The hormone plan starts with a $450 new patient perimenopause consultation, and the 3-month plan includes baseline labs and prescriptions. It does not publish prices for ongoing hormone care. Aesthetic prices are Botox at $14 per unit, a Lip Flip at $90 and PDO threads from $150.

Payment is cash. It says it prioritizes care that goes beyond the insurance-based system. A 10% deposit is due at booking and applied to the service. It is forfeited if you reschedule less than 24 hours ahead, cancel less than 48 hours ahead or no-show. Payment for the visit, labs and compounded medications is due at consultation, and monthly medication is ordered after payment. Its payment plans are mentioned, but their terms are not shown. It does not publish a general consultation fee.

Its pricing promise is that you will always know the total cost before care starts. That promise is made about Botox, so test it against the questions below.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Ericka Lavin will see you personally at each visit, since she is the only prescriber named. Ask whether the $300 monthly fee includes medication, because it does not say. Ask whether the GLP-1 medication and hormone prescriptions are brand-name or compounded, since the payment terms mention special order compounded medications. Ask for a price on the Strong and Fit 12-Week program, and for the total cost of the 3-month hormone plan after the $450 consultation, including labs and follow-up. If you hope insurance will cover prescriptions, ask about the retail pharmacy option described in the hormone plan, given the clinic's cash-pay model. Ask whether follow-ups can be done by video, what the payment plans cost, and how the deposit applies if you need to change an appointment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person care from a Nurse Practitioner, you can pay cash for the plan you choose, and you want weight management, hormone therapy and aesthetic treatments in one practice. It is a weaker fit if you need telehealth, Monday or Tuesday appointments, or a firm price for every program before you book.
