About Healthspan of Hampton Roads

What is Healthspan of Hampton Roads?

Healthspan of Hampton Roads is a cash pay practice at 720 Thimble Shoals Blvd., Suite 110, in Newport News, Virginia. The office is across from the Paragon Theater, inside Health Research of Hampton Roads. Dr. George Freeman prescribes. No MD or DO credential is published after his name, so ask for it before you book. The clinic reports thirty five years of clinical experience and twenty two years of research in metabolism, weight loss and hormone therapy. It has 5 stars on Google from 4 reviews.

The clinic lists three services: weight loss, bioidentical hormones and longevity medicine. The work centers on a long first visit. Dr. Freeman reviews your history, a five day food and beverage diary and your labs, then orders any blood tests he needs. The medications named are compounded testosterone and bioidentical estrogen. It does not name a GLP-1 drug such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, and it does not list peptide therapy. Visits can be in person or by secure video for anyone in Virginia or visiting Virginia. It does not list office hours.

What does it cost?

The initial consultation costs $180 for a visit of 1.5 to 2 hours, in person or by telemedicine. Follow up visits cost $100 for an hour. Labs are usually billed to insurance through Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp. If you are uninsured or on a high deductible plan, he can order labs at his cost through Quest on a prepaid basis.

Hormone medication is the one medication with a price listed. In its own words: "Generally, testosterone or bio-identical estrogen is about $40 per month from compounding pharmacies." The clinic does not say whether that $40 covers the prescription itself, the pharmacy fill or any visit fees.

The clinic is a Tricare provider and is out of network with other insurers. You may file your own claims, and forms are available for out of network benefits. It does not list financing, an HSA option, a membership plan or a cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which MD or DO credential Dr. Freeman holds, since none is published. Ask whether the $40 figure includes the medication, the pharmacy fill and any visit fees. Ask whether the testosterone or estrogen is compounded and which pharmacy fills it. Canadian pharmaceuticals are mentioned, so ask where any medication is sourced.

If you want a GLP-1 drug or peptide therapy, ask directly, because neither is listed. Ask how often return visits happen, what each costs, and whether repeat labs are billed to you. Ask how to cancel and whether the $180 consultation is refundable. Call 757-869-6751 for office hours, since none are posted.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a long first visit with the prescriber, you live in Virginia or can book a video visit there, and you are comfortable asking about credentials and drug sourcing before you pay. If you need a GLP-1 medication, peptide therapy or posted hours, settle those questions before you call.
