What is Functionality Wellness?
Functionality Wellness is a functional medicine practice at 231 Capitol St, Ste 7, Charleston, WV 25301. The phone number is 304-803-7866. Jenny McDonald, NP is the only prescriber it names. She is a family nurse practitioner with 20 years' experience and functional medicine certification. Google lists the practice as a holistic medicine practitioner, with a rating of 5 from 9 reviews.
It offers a medical weight loss program, bioidentical hormone therapy, hormone pellet therapy, peptides where appropriate, stress management counseling, and testing that includes a digestive analysis, food sensitivity testing and body composition analysis. Its three programs are Grounded Wellness, a 3 month program aimed at hormone balance, Elevated Wellness, for people who have struggled to lose weight, and Deep Roots, aimed at long term health. Its blog names Ozempic in its writing on GLP-1 medications, but it does not say which weight loss medication it prescribes. In its own words: "Check ups and monitoring can take place in the office or via telehealth based on your needs." It currently sees patients in WV, VA and AZ. Patients outside those states can still book, with a yearly visit to West Virginia. It does not say which states telehealth covers.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. The first step is a free 15 minute consult, booked online. The practice is cash pay only and does not take insurance, but it provides superbills you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement, and it offers payment plans. It does not say whether medication is included in program fees, so ask for the full cost of a program, including the monthly amount and how long it runs.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Jenny McDonald, NP writes every prescription in your plan, and who follows up between visits. Ask whether the monthly fee includes your medication, and whether that medication is brand name or compounded. It does not name the weight loss medication it prescribes, so ask which one it would use and what it costs. Ask what follow up visits, lab work and the digestive, food sensitivity and body composition testing cost, and what hormone pellets or peptides would cost if you chose them. Ask how long each program runs and how to cancel, including whether anything is refunded if you stop partway. It does not list hours, so ask when you can be seen.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you have decided to pay cash for care and want one named prescriber, telehealth as an option, and a patient portal with check-ins between visits. It also suits people in WV, VA or AZ, or people willing to travel for a yearly visit to West Virginia, as long as they get clear answers on cost and medication first.
