What does it cost?

The initial consultation is $150. For hormone replacement therapy, that fee comes with a $75 deposit due at booking, and the remaining balance is due at the time of service. HRT is self-pay only. Deposits are non-refundable if you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice or do not show up.

For weight loss, the clinic does not publish a program price. The starting cost is listed as "varies based on medication and dosage," and a special offer of buying 3 sessions and getting the 4th free is included. It does not say whether medication is included in the weight loss price. On insurance, in its own words: "Some services covered by insurance such as provider visits and medication; we also offer in-office injections for weight loss." Coverage for weight loss is described only as "some coverage available."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will oversee your care and who writes your prescription. Ask whether the monthly or program price includes the medication. Ask whether the medication is the brand-name product or a compounded version, since the medications are described as FDA-approved, but how they are supplied is not stated. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, because the program includes lab work but no price is given. Ask what insurance will cover, and what it will not, before you book.

Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the clinic does not say. For weight loss, ask what the cancellation terms are, because the deposit policy is only stated for HRT. Finally, ask for the total expected cost over a year, including the consultation, medication, and visits, so you can compare it with what you planned to spend.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medical weight management or hormone therapy in Suffolk, you are prepared to pay out of pocket for the parts insurance does not cover, and you want to know which prescriber will oversee you before you commit. It is less likely to fit if you are looking for peptide or longevity care, or for virtual visits, since the clinic has not described either.
