83 Cannon Street in Cannonborough–Elliotborough, downtown Charleston; with telehealth consultations available for protocol care where clinically appropriate.
By medical evaluation. Every protocol begins with intake and a physician consultation, including history and labs where indicated. If a therapy isn’t appropriate for you, you’ll be told plainly and routed to a better path.
Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. Compounding can meet an individual medical need when an FDA-approved drug is not appropriate; your physician should discuss the specific reasons, alternatives, and risks with you. Read FDA’s explanation of compounded-drug risks.
Honest ones. Expected timelines are written into your protocol, individual results vary, and no outcome is promised that the evidence cannot support. The practice measures progress in labs, photographs, and how you feel; in that order of objectivity.
You message the practice directly through your secure line. What-to-do-when guidance for missed doses, travel, and refills is also written into every protocol from day one.
Membership is optional. You can explore individual services and their regular prices on the services and investment page. Member pricing appears beside the regular price where available. Compare the benefits and separate monthly fees on the membership page.
