What is Paramount Health & Wellness?
Paramount Health & Wellness is an integrated primary care and mental health practice at 3220 Academy Ave in Portsmouth, Virginia. Its main work is family primary care, with mental health care in the same visits. Weight loss is one of several services, alongside medication management, physical exams, preventative screenings, sick and problem visits, erectile dysfunction treatment, mental health care and veteran disability assessments.
The listed prescriber is Dr. Relindis Nsofon Mutia, APRN, DNP, FNP, PMHNP-BC, who founded the practice and is described as a dual board-certified nurse practitioner. Visits are in person or by telehealth, Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The practice lists 13+ years of experience and accepts TRICARE. Its Google listing shows a 4.4 rating from 13 reviews.
The weight loss page describes a plan built around goal setting, progress tracking and habit guidance, delivered in person or online. In its own words: "we create weight-loss programs that feel made just for you." The page does not name a medication.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. There is no weight-loss program fee, no monthly price and no consultation fee on its pages. It does not say whether medication is included, because it does not name a weight-loss medication at all. It does say it accepts TRICARE, but it does not say whether the weight-loss program is covered that way or paid in cash. Ask for the full cash price in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who decides on medication. The pages say weight loss is led by Dr. Mutia, but they do not say whether the program is physician-supervised. Ask who oversees the plan and who signs any prescription. Then ask whether a monthly fee would include medication, and if a drug is prescribed, whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are in the program price. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum term. If you live outside Portsmouth, ask whether telehealth is open to you, since the pages describe telehealth across Portsmouth, Virginia.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want primary care and weight management under one roof, you have TRICARE or are willing to ask about cash pricing, and you can reach the Portsmouth office in person or by video. It is a harder call if you need a published price or a clear medication plan before your first visit, because it publishes neither.
