About NW Medical Arts

What is NW Medical Arts?

NW Medical Arts is a medical spa at 5350 Orchard St. W. Ste. 202 in University Place, Washington, 98467. Its phone number is 253-352-0882. Most of what it offers is skin and aesthetic work: Botox, Dysport and Daxxify, dermal fillers, laser treatments, microneedling, facials and chemical peels. Medication-assisted weight loss is one of its services, listed alongside a vitamin B-12 shot and a lipotropic fat burning shot. It has a Google rating of 5 from 137 reviews.

The weight loss program uses semaglutide or tirzepatide. Shanti Benoit, ARNP, is the nurse practitioner who prescribes. Dr. Jaeggli, ND, is named as a program partner, but the program does not say that person treats patients at this office. Patients are asked to bring recent lab work and a list of current medications. Tacoma, University Place, Lakewood, JBLM and West Seattle are named as areas it serves. It does not publish hours or the year it opened.

What does it cost?

The weight loss program lists a $50 new patient consult and a $300 set up fee. Microdose Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is $299 per month. Customized Semaglutide is $349 per month for any dose, and Customized Tirzepatide ranges from $399 to $499 per month, depending on level from 1 to 6. Each injection is $15, the monthly follow-up is listed at $0, and lab work costs $99 if the clinic orders it. The terms are described as "a one time set up fee then monthly medication cost without any long term commitments." It does not say whether the $299 price includes the medication, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $299 monthly price includes the medication. The program does not say. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since both customized options are described as customized. Ask whether the $300 set up fee also applies to the microdose option, because the monthly price does not mention it.

Ask who signs your prescription and whether Shanti Benoit, ARNP, sees you at each visit. If you want to know whether Dr. Jaeggli treats patients here, ask that directly. Ask what follow-up visits, injections and labs cost over several months. The program requires CBC, CMP, TSH and A1C results from within the last 6 months, so ask whether labs from another provider are accepted. Ask whether insurance is accepted, whether telehealth visits are offered, what the hours are, and how cancellation works.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medication-assisted weight loss at a medical spa, you are prepared to pay cash, and you want the prescriber and monthly costs confirmed in writing before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need insurance billing, want telehealth, or want a physician named as the person managing your care.
