What is Mountaineer Family Medicine?
Mountaineer Family Medicine is a family medicine practice with an office in Charleston, West Virginia. Dr. Sam Kalou, M.D., is the medical director and owner, and the only prescriber it names. He has over 18 years of experience in family medicine and has been providing care since 2006.
Weight loss is one service among many. The clinic offers a medically supervised weight loss program and lists semaglutide and tirzepatide for it. It also lists testosterone, peptide infusion, advanced peptide therapy, platelet-rich plasma, regenerative medicine, Botox fillers, joint injections, IM vitamin D and biotin, Myer cocktail infusions, EKGs, automated blood pressure monitoring, travel counseling, and mental health care for anxiety, depression, PTSD, TMS, ADHD and ADD.
It also gives phone numbers for Nitro, Gilbert, Logan, Oceana and Welch, with no addresses for those towns. Its Google listing shows a 4.1 rating from 71 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, consultation fees, or whether the medication is included in its weight loss program. The one figure it gives is 25% off semaglutide and tirzepatide for new patients only. It does not say whether it takes cash, HSA or financing.
On insurance, it says: "We are not in Network with AETNA BETTER HEALTH Insurance." It does not say whether it accepts any other plan, so ask before assuming either way.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the weight loss prescription and whether Dr. Kalou will see you. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether semaglutide and tirzepatide are brand-name or compounded.
Ask what the first visit, follow-up visits and blood work cost. Blood test coordination is listed as a service, but no lab fees are shown. Ask whether the 25% new-patient price covers the whole program or only the first fill.
Ask whether telehealth is available, since it does not say. Ask which office runs the weight loss program, because it does not say which location offers it. Finally, ask how a program is canceled and whether there is a membership term.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want primary care and weight loss, hormone or peptide services under one roof, and you are willing to ask about cost and insurance before you book. If that sounds right, call (304) 926-2300 and start with the questions above.
