Priority You MD

Priority You MD is a direct-pay medical office at 2744 Summerdale Drive in Clearwater, offering functional medicine, hormone optimization, IV therapy and wellness care. It has been in operation since 2005. Patients come from Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, Largo, St. Petersburg, Tampa and across the wider Tampa Bay area. The practice does not contract with insurers, but it will provide a superbill on request so patients can file claims with their own carrier. Phone: (727) 230-1438. Hours: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM; Tuesday 8:30 AM to 6 PM; Friday 8:30 AM to 2 PM. The office is closed on weekends.

Care is individualized. Each patient starts with an assessment that includes labs, a health history and a lifestyle evaluation, then receives a personalized plan that is monitored and adjusted over time. The practice brings together functional medicine, hormone optimization, Mindful Medicine, IV therapy, weight management and aesthetic medicine depending on what each patient needs. New IV therapy patients can book a complimentary consultation before treatment, and people considering Botox or dermal fillers can do the same.

IV sessions typically take between 30 minutes and an hour. The IV menu falls into three groups: energy, recovery and longevity; brain health and mental performance; and immune support and wellness. Among the most requested choices are Myers' Cocktail, Supercharged Myers, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Athletic Performance, NAD Therapy, Glutathione, Anti-Aging, Ketamine IV, Methylene Blue, Migraine Prevention, Stress and Anxiety Relief, Hydration, Immune Boost, Super Immune Boost, Vitamin C, Weight Loss, Hangover Relief, and Pre and Post Surgery. Many IV therapies, NAD+ infusions, vitamin C infusions and ketamine treatments can be booked as packages. Hormone care starts with a consultation and a comprehensive fasting lab panel, so patients should hold medications and supplements until their blood is drawn. Patients who qualify can have hormone follow-up visits by telehealth, provided they have had recent labs and a physical exam with a primary care or urgent care provider.

Mindful Medicine is the practice's physician-guided ketamine program. Treatment can be given in the office by IV or IM injection, with continuous medical monitoring in a private room. Most office sessions take about an hour including preparation and recovery, and patients need to arrange their own transportation home. Ketamine care is also offered as concierge treatment in the patient's home, or through a physician-guided at-home program in which the patient self-administers an injection under supervision with scheduled follow-up. No referral is needed to schedule a ketamine consultation, and the practice offers treatment packages, a military discount and financing options for qualified patients. The program is used for depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma, burnout and stress, and cognitive performance and personal growth.

Aesthetic services include injectables, skin rejuvenation, laser treatments, chemical peels, facial contouring and PDO threads. Botox sessions take about 10 to 15 minutes with no anesthesia unless requested, and results typically last three to four months, which is why most patients return on that schedule. The practice describes Botox as FDA-approved for cosmetic use for more than 20 years. Treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, lip flips, chin dimpling, downturned smile, neck bands, the masseter and excessive sweating. The practice describes dermal filler sessions as needing little to no downtime. Juvederm products are used on the lips, cheeks, jawline, smile lines and under-eye area, and according to the practice, Juvederm Voluma XC is the first and only FDA-approved filler for age-related mid-face volume loss. CareCredit financing is accepted, with promotional options on purchases of $200 or more. The shop sells ZO Skin Products, Fullscript supplements and gift cards in eGift amounts of $150, $200, $300, $500 or a custom amount.

Plans are built from a full assessment of labs, health history and lifestyle, then adjusted over time, with a focus on longevity, performance and overall wellness.

Visits take place in private treatment rooms and a dedicated IV lounge.
