About NRV Medical Weight Loss & Wellness

What is NRV Medical Weight Loss & Wellness?

NRV Medical Weight Loss & Wellness is a medical weight loss clinic at 451 Cleburne Blvd in Dublin, VA 24084. Amy L. Doty owns the practice and is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She reports almost 15 years of combined experience in family medicine, women's health, sleep medicine, occupational health, and nutrition and weight loss. She is the only prescriber the clinic names. Its About Us section also lists a front desk specialist and a clinical medical assistant, and neither is named as a prescriber.

The clinic offers four services: a Weight Loss Program, Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy, Obagi Skin Care, and a Red Light Therapy Bed. Weight loss and hormone therapy are its two main lines. It also offers vitamin injections, dietary supplements, and nutritional IV infusions. It describes itself as "not just a weight loss clinic," and it names SottoPelle as the hormone therapy brand it provides. Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 4.6 rating from 9 reviews.

This listing is for its Dublin office at 451 Cleburne Blvd.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no program price, and no membership terms. It does not say whether a monthly charge includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or how cancellation works. The weight loss program starts with an initial visit to build a plan, then monthly check-ins with the provider. Supplements and high-protein snacks are sold in the office. Ask for every price before you book, and ask for the answer in writing if you can.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription, and whether Ms. Doty handles every one. The clinic offers prescription and non-prescription appetite suppressants but does not name the medications, so ask for the names. Ask whether the medication is included in any monthly fee, and what the monthly visits cost on their own. In its own words: "All patients are monitored on a monthly basis in order to provide medical supervision and support," so ask what that monitoring includes and whether it is billed separately.

For hormone therapy, ask whether SottoPelle is a brand-name product or a compounded one, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what blood work is done before you start, how often it is repeated, and who pays for it. Ask whether the vitamin injections cost extra.

Also ask whether the clinic takes insurance, whether any visits can be done by telehealth (it does not say), what its hours are (none are listed), and how you cancel. The Obagi Skin Care and Red Light Therapy Bed services have no listed prices either, so ask about those too.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medical weight loss or hormone therapy from a nurse practitioner who runs the practice, and you are willing to call and get prices and terms before you commit. If you need a posted price, telehealth, or published hours before you call, you will have to ask for all three.
