About Gentle Wellness Center

What is Gentle Wellness Center?

Gentle Wellness Center is a functional medicine and wellness clinic at 12011 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy., Suite 415, in Fairfax, VA 22033. Some of its material also calls it a med spa, and it lists facials, microneedling and laser treatments. Medical weight loss is one of its services, not the whole practice. Its services include medical weight loss with semaglutide and tirzepatide, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, IV therapy, acupuncture, ozone therapy, red light therapy, infrared sauna, cancer treatment support, and longevity and integrative wellness.

The one person it names as a prescriber is Andrea Kubota, FNP-BC. Its weight loss pages also describe a physician-led program, so ask who writes and signs the prescription. Virtual consultations are offered. Google lists the clinic as a weight loss service with a 4.6 rating from 96 reviews.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or any other service. The consultation is free. It says the cost of semaglutide or tirzepatide depends on dosage, treatment length and whether medication is included, and that a breakdown is given at the consultation. It does not say whether medication is in any price, and it does not state whether it accepts insurance.

It mentions payment plan options and a membership, but it does not publish their terms, including cancellation. Its weight loss page describes a plan that lets you choose your treatments. In its own words: "you have the flexibility to choose the treatments that resonate most with you." What that plan includes and what it costs are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask who writes and signs the prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and whether a physician is involved in your care. Ask whether the medication is part of a monthly fee or billed on top, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since no prices are published for them.

Ask what the payment plan or membership covers, whether it renews on its own, and how to cancel it and whether a fee applies. Ask who prescribes hormone therapy, since no one is named for it. Confirm the suite number, because both 415 and 420 appear. Confirm the hours too, since they differ from place to place. Finally, ask which phone line to use. The contact section gives 571-240-4291 for calls, but other numbers appear.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medical weight loss or hormone therapy in Fairfax, expect to pay out of pocket, and are willing to get prices, medication terms and cancellation rules in writing before you commit. It is a poor fit if you need published prices before you call.
