Wellness consultation
A comprehensive starting point for discussing goals, history, symptoms, lifestyle, and the next appropriate step.
Velatura Wellness · South Tampa
Wellness care built around continuity.
Velatura Wellness is designed for patients who want a consistent, personal relationship with their provider. Care begins with a comprehensive evaluation and may include lifestyle planning, laboratory review, metabolic health and medical weight-management support, and selected therapies when medically appropriate.
All medical services require an individualized evaluation. Eligibility, treatment recommendations, prescriptions, timing, and results vary by patient. No service, prescription, or outcome is guaranteed. Medication and laboratory costs are separate unless expressly stated.
One connected plan
Care that can evolve with you.
Each area below is a starting point for evaluation and support—never an automatic treatment, and never a promise of medication eligibility.
Medical weight management
Individualized evaluation and ongoing support for appropriate patients. Medication is never automatic or guaranteed.
Metabolic health
Clinician-led metabolic planning that may include lifestyle review and relevant laboratory evaluation, shaped around your goals.
Healthy-aging planning
Evidence-informed conversations about sustainable habits, priorities, and a plan that can evolve over time.
Laboratory review
Review of clinically relevant testing when ordered or available. Laboratory costs are separate unless expressly included in writing.
Ongoing continuity care
Scheduled follow-ups and nonurgent check-ins that turn a single visit into a lasting relationship with your provider.
How continuity works
From one visit to an ongoing relationship.
Evaluation comes first. Recommendations follow the person—not a preset program.
- Begin with a comprehensive individual evaluation
- Clarify priorities, relevant history, and available information
- Review options, alternatives, and what is not appropriate
- Create a realistic plan with defined follow-up
- Use scheduled check-ins to review progress and adjust responsibly
Begin thoughtfully
One provider. One considered plan.
Wellness at Velatura begins with Stephanie Adams, APRN and a plan composed around you, reviewed and refined as your life and goals evolve.
Medication and laboratory costs are separate
An evaluation does not guarantee medical eligibility, a diagnosis, or a prescription. Laboratory testing, prescriptions, medications, compounded products, supplements, and third-party services are charged separately to the patient unless expressly included in writing.
Wellness questions
Before your first conversation.
A little preparation can make room for a more useful discussion about your health and goals.
Why does medical weight management include follow-up?
Follow-up gives you and your provider time to review progress, discuss what is manageable in daily life, and adjust the plan when appropriate. Weight management may involve eating and activity habits, health history, and medication when clinically suitable. At Velatura, scheduled follow-ups support continuity of care. Before beginning, ask how progress will be reviewed, when to return, and what the ongoing costs include. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription or a particular result.
What should I prepare for a medical weight-management consultation?
Bring your questions, a list of medications and supplements, and a brief account of approaches you have already tried. Your health history, daily routines, and what has been difficult to maintain can help shape the discussion. If you have recent laboratory results, ask which records would be useful. Once the practice provides access, share health information through the secure intake form or patient portal. You do not need to choose a medication before your visit.

Begin with clarity
Wellness starts with an individualized evaluation.
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a preferred treatment. Begin with what you want to understand—the right next step follows evaluation.
