About ERA Metabolic Medicine

What is ERA Metabolic Medicine?

ERA Metabolic Medicine is a medical weight-loss practice at 5650 Virginia Beach Blvd. Ste 104, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. It is operated by Chix Beach Medical & Wellness Clinic, PLLC. Weight loss is the main service, with hormone therapy for men and women as the other core one. ERA also lists thyroid optimization, primary care and sick visits, behavioral health, lab testing, neurotoxin treatments, and B12 and NAD injections.

Elina Reynolds, AGNP-C, NP, is the only prescriber ERA names. She is a nurse practitioner, and her listed background includes adult primary care, cardiology, neuroscience, and intensive care, plus more than six years in weight-loss medicine. ERA describes its care as physician-led, but it does not name a physician. In-person care is in Virginia Beach, with telehealth for eligible patients located in Virginia. Google shows a rating of 5 from 83 reviews. In its own words: "Care from a licensed provider, not a script."

What does it cost?

Medical weight loss starts at $199 a month. That is a starting price, and ERA does not say whether medication is included in it. ERA does not publish a consultation fee, membership terms, or cancellation terms. It lists no prices for hormone therapy, thyroid care, or labs.

ERA accepts Aetna and Anthem commercial plans and will check your insurance first. For patients without coverage, or whose plans exclude weight-loss medication, it offers self-pay options. Payment plans are listed, but their terms are not published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs your prescription, since Elina Reynolds is the only prescriber named and no physician is. Ask whether the $199 fee includes medication, and if it does not, what semaglutide or tirzepatide costs on top of it. Ask whether any medication you would receive is compounded. ERA's own disclaimer says compounded medications are not FDA-approved, so get a plain answer about which product you would receive.

Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits, and lab work cost, and how to cancel. Ask which office you would be seen at, since ERA lists Northern Virginia and Virginia Beach phone numbers but only one street address. Hours are not listed, so confirm them by calling 757-770-3444. Ask how long the practice has been open, because no year is given.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medical weight-loss care from a named nurse practitioner, can be seen in Virginia Beach or by telehealth within Virginia, and are ready to pay the monthly fee if your plan does not cover it. It is a weaker match if you need a physician to sign your prescriptions, if you are looking for peptide or longevity care (ERA lists neither), or if you want every price in writing before your first visit.
