About Northwest Center for Optimal Health

What is Northwest Center for Optimal Health?

Northwest Center for Optimal Health is a naturopathic medical practice at 316 State Avenue, Suite A in Marysville, Washington. It describes itself as a medical center staffed by physicians and other health care providers, specializing in natural medicine. In its own words, its commitment is to "provide sound medical advice, and integrate natural & mainstream medicine."

Kasra Pournadeali, ND, FACN is the clinic's Medical Director. Rebecca Dirks, ND has been a health care provider since 1987. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma and Bastyr University, where she is on the faculty. Google shows a 4.2 rating from 25 reviews, under the category Medical clinic.

The clinic's general outpatient care includes weight management, natural hormone replacement therapy, women's and men's health, preventive medicine, and the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Other listed services include bone density scans, cholesterol testing, allergy testing, nebulizer therapy, minor surgery and office procedures, and a natural medicine pharmacy. It does not list peptide therapy. It also runs a separate education program with lectures and writing for professionals and the public.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. It does not publish a consultation fee, a monthly program fee, or the cost of its hormone or weight programs. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not say whether a program fee would include medication. Ask for the full cost of a first visit, any recurring fees, and the cost of the labs and scans it orders before you agree to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber would see you, and who writes and signs any hormone or weight prescription. Ask whether the program fee includes medication, and which medications are used, since the clinic does not name them. Ask whether those medications are brand-name products or compounded, and whether its natural medicine pharmacy fills them.

Ask how the weight management program works, because the clinic does not describe it. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether telehealth is available, since neither is stated. Ask the hours too, because none are listed. Ask how to cancel or stop a program and whether there is a minimum term. You can call 360.651.9355 to ask these questions directly.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic practice in Marysville that handles weight, hormone and bone care under one roof, and you are willing to get prices, medication names and cancellation terms in writing before you book. If you need published prices or telehealth before you call, you will have to ask for them directly.
