About WellifyCare Medical

What is WellifyCare Medical?

WellifyCare Medical is a physician-led practice at 18200 W Capitol Dr, Suite 200, in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Its main focus is metabolic health: weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and the related risks that tend to move together. It offers three services: Medical Weight Management & Obesity Medicine, Prediabetes & Type 2 Diabetes Care, and Connected Cardiometabolic Care.

The prescribing physician is Dereje Tefera Siyum, MD, who is board-certified in internal medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. For weight care, the practice names Wegovy®, Zepbound®, and Foundayo™ as FDA-approved options. It also names Ozempic® and Mounjaro®, which it says are approved for type 2 diabetes rather than weight management. In its own words, medication is "considered when clinically appropriate, not by default."

Secure telehealth is offered to eligible patients physically located in Wisconsin. The practice says the Brookfield office will serve patients from Brookfield, Elm Grove, Wauwatosa, Waukesha, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, Pewaukee, and the greater Milwaukee area. Note that in-person care in Brookfield and the Connected Obesity Care program are both marked Coming Soon. No hours are listed, and the practice does not say how long it has been open.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. The care is self-pay only. The practice says insurance-based specialty care is planned for 2027, but it also says availability, participating plans, and timing are not guaranteed. It does not say whether any price includes the medication. It does list a Good Faith Estimate, which is worth requesting before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription, and whether you would be seen by Dereje Tefera Siyum, MD, at each visit or by someone else. Ask whether in-person visits in Brookfield are open now, since they are marked Coming Soon, and how telehealth visits work once you enroll.

Ask whether any monthly fee includes medication. If it does not, ask what the medication you would take costs each month, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask which medication would fit your situation and why, given the practice's note that Ozempic® and Mounjaro® are approved for diabetes.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost, and whether any of them are bundled into a package. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term. Finally, ask for office hours and how long the practice has been open, since neither is listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Wisconsin, are ready to pay out of pocket, and want a physician to look at weight alongside blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. It is a weaker match if you need in-person care in Brookfield right now or need insurance billing, since the practice says neither is available yet.
