Temple Terrace — common questions
Where exactly is Lavena Health in Temple Terrace?
5340 E 131st Ave, Suite 106, Temple Terrace, FL 33617. It is a ground-floor suite with free parking at the door, just off E Fowler Ave and a short drive from the USF area.
What are your hours?
Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Same-day appointments are usually available, and telehealth follow-ups are offered for Florida residents. Call (813) 805-8917 to check today's availability.
Do you take insurance?
No. Lavena Health is entirely self-pay. That is why the prices are published rather than quoted after the fact — there are no copays, no prior authorisations, and no surprise bills weeks later.
How much does treatment cost in Temple Terrace?
Hormone therapy is a flat $150 per month. Medical weight loss starts at $175 for your first month, regularly $200, and is tiered by dose after that. Primary care membership starts at $100 per month, or $125 for a single visit with no membership. Eastern medicine starts at $125 per visit.
Is lab work included in those prices?
No. Lab work is billed separately. You can run your labs through Quest on your insurance if your plan covers them, or use our member pricing, which is over 50% less than the same panel costs on your own. Either way you get the price before anything is drawn.
Who are the doctors, and will I see the same one?
Lavena Health was co-founded and is co-owned by Dr. Adeeb Saleh, DO and Dr. Ahmed Karim, MD, and Eastern medicine is led by Dr. Chanelle Azar, DOM. They see patients themselves — the physician who writes your plan is the physician you see at follow-up.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly, and your first consultation for our weight-loss programs is free.
Can I be seen the same day?
Usually, yes. Same-day and next-day appointments are typically available. Call (813) 805-8917 and we will tell you what is open today.
Do you treat women as well as men?
Yes. Alongside men's testosterone therapy we provide women's bioidentical hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause, medical weight loss for both, primary care for the whole family, and Eastern medicine.
What if I live outside Temple Terrace?
Most of our patients drive in from Tampa, New Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Lutz, Wesley Chapel and Carrollwood. Florida residents can also handle follow-ups by telehealth, and weight-loss medication ships free anywhere in the state.
