Who Will Prescribe Your Peptides?
Your prescribing provider, Dr. Christopher Rubano, is verified in the federal CMS National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) under NPI 1861430506, with a primary specialty of Surgery and a primary practice address in Vancouver, WA. CMS records show this NPI has been active since 2006. NPPES record verified 2026-06-02. Dr. Christopher Rubano’s NPI tenure is longer-tenured than nearly all of the 4 Washington peptide providers we’ve verified in NPPES (longest-tenured peer registered in 2008; cohort median 2017).
What this means for you: In the US, any actively state-licensed physician can legally prescribe compounded peptides — board certification in a specific specialty isn’t required for peptide prescriptions. Surgical training builds procedural and anatomical expertise; physicians in this specialty who add peptide therapy typically focus on regenerative medicine and post-surgical recovery.

Is Anti-Aging MD the right fit for you?
✓ Choose Anti-Aging MD if:
- You’re in or willing to travel to Vancouver — peptide therapy generally requires in-person consultation and ongoing follow-ups.
- You want a physician-led practice (MD/DO).
- You want a broad compound menu — this listing names 12 specific peptides, among the deepest in the market.
- You want flexibility on compounding vs. pre-batched fulfillment — this clinic discloses both 503A and 503B partnerships.
- You want one of the most comprehensive peptide menus in the metro — this listing ranks #2 out of 20 we’ve reviewed locally.
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You need to start treatment within the same week. Most peptide programs require baseline labs (1-3 days) plus pharmacy fulfillment (a few more days) before your first dose — plan on 1-3 weeks from consult call to first injection.
- You’re shopping primarily on price and need per-compound rates published up front. Most clinics share specific pricing only on the consult call. Use our cost calculator above for ballpark estimates and confirm specifics with the clinic.
What to Expect at Your First Anti-Aging MD Appointment
- Initial consultation / intake — typically 30–60 minutes reviewing medical history, goals, current medications, and prior labs.
- Baseline lab work — most clinics require labs before prescribing growth-hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, Sermorelin) and GLP-1s (semaglutide, tirzepatide), since those compounds modulate endocrine and metabolic pathways. Tissue-repair peptides (BPC-157, TB-500), sexual-wellness peptides (PT-141), and topical compounds are sometimes prescribed without labs. This listing doesn’t explicitly state lab requirements, so confirm on your consult call which panels they require for your specific protocol. Even when labs aren’t strictly required, they’re a smart personal baseline. See our guide to peptide therapy lab work for what to ask about.
- Protocol design — this listing publishes a deep menu (12 compounds, including BPC-157, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, and others). Your provider narrows the protocol based on your goals, labs, and any contraindications.
- Prescription written + sent to compounding pharmacy — The clinic discloses both 503A and 503B sourcing, so fulfillment may be same-visit (503B pre-batched) or shipped after compounding (503A custom prescriptions) depending on the protocol your provider chooses.
- Self-administration training — for injectable peptides, the clinic walks you through subcutaneous injection technique, needle handling, refrigeration, and rotation sites.
- Follow-up — typically a 4–6 week check-in to assess response, side effects, and whether dose or compound needs adjustment.
Most Anti-Aging MD patients report the consult-to-first-injection window runs 1–3 weeks depending on lab turnaround and pharmacy fulfillment.
What to Ask on Your Anti-Aging MD Consult Call
The questions below are pulled from the gaps in this specific listing — areas the clinic doesn’t publicly answer that you should clarify before booking. Each one is designed to get you a useful answer in 30 seconds or less.
- “Of these 12 compounds, which do most patients with my goals end up on?” A deep menu can mean either deep expertise or unfocused offerings — ask which compounds the clinic actually has the most experience with.
- “How long has the clinical lead been prescribing peptides specifically?” A long medical career doesn’t always mean long peptide-specific experience — those are different track records.
- “Which lab panels do you require for the protocol you’d recommend for me?” Clinics typically require baseline labs for hormone-modulating compounds (semaglutide, tirzepatide, growth-hormone secretagogues) and may skip them for some tissue-repair or topical compounds. Knowing your clinic’s specific lab requirements helps you compare to peers — and even when not required, baseline labs are smart personal protection.
- “Is this entirely cash-pay, or do you accept any insurance for the GLP-1 path (semaglutide, tirzepatide)?” Compounded peptides are almost never covered, but brand-name GLP-1s sometimes are with prior authorization.
- “What’s the total first-month cost — consult fee, labs, and initial prescription combined?” First-month all-in is usually 1.5–2× the recurring monthly cost. Ask for an itemized breakdown.
- “Is follow-up telehealth-friendly, or are in-person visits required at every milestone?” The listing doesn’t mention telehealth — important to know if you travel or move.
- “From my consult to my first injection, how long is the typical timeline?” Lab turnaround + pharmacy fulfillment usually means 1–3 weeks. Confirms expectations.

Does Anti-Aging MD offer telehealth or virtual visits?
Anti-Aging MD doesn’t mention telehealth or virtual visits on its listing. Most peptide clinics require in-person evaluation for the initial consult; some offer virtual follow-ups once a patient is stable. If geography or travel matters to you, ask on the consult call whether they can prescribe and follow up virtually — and which states they’re licensed to do so in.

Compound depth is one signal among several — provider credentials, pharmacy sourcing transparency, and lab requirements also matter when comparing.

What Washington Peptide Patients Are Likely Asking
Themes drawn from HealingMaps editorial analysis of verified Washington peptide clinics in our directory. Refreshed quarterly; percentages rounded to nearest 5%.
Which peptides do most Washington clinics actually offer?
Across Washington peptide clinics in our directory, Semaglutide appears in 100% of listings; Tirzepatide in 100%; CJC-1295 in 85%; Ipamorelin in 85%. Compounds appearing in fewer than 20% of Washington listings — including Thymosin Alpha-1, Thymosin Beta-4, NAD+ — are less commonly disclosed; patients seeking those should specifically ask whether the clinic prescribes them.
How transparent are Washington clinics about their compounding pharmacy?
30% of Washington clinics in our directory openly state whether they use a 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy. The rest leave the class unstated. The distinction matters for patients — 503A pharmacies fill prescriptions individually after your provider writes them (typically a few-day wait, in-state shipping), while 503B outsourcing facilities pre-batch under direct FDA inspection (often supporting same-visit fulfillment and direct-to-home shipping). Worth asking specifically before you book.
Who’s actually prescribing peptides in Washington?
50% of verified Washington clinics name an MD or DO as clinical lead (this listing’s clinical lead is Surgery-trained). The remainder are NP/PA-led or don’t publicly name a specific prescribing clinician. Any state-licensed physician, NP, or PA can legitimately prescribe compounded peptides — but knowing your prescriber’s training and tenure helps you assess fit for your specific protocol.
How deep are Washington peptide menus typically?
The median Washington clinic in our directory publishes 8 specific peptide compounds on its listing. The deepest disclosed menu names 17; every clinic names at least one compound. A wide menu means more options at one clinic; a narrow menu can reflect specialization (e.g. weight-loss-only programs) or limited public disclosure (the clinic prescribes more than it advertises).
Pharmacy sourcing: This clinic discloses partnerships with both 503A compounding pharmacies and 503B outsourcing facilities. As a patient, that usually gives you the most flexibility — pre-batched 503B doses for routine in-office or shipped fulfillment, plus 503A custom-compounded prescriptions when your protocol needs individual tailoring.
How we vetted this clinic
Verified prescriber on the public record at Anti-Aging MD — NPI lookup confirms in CMS NPPES. The clinic’s menu publishes 12 compounds (BPC-157, CJC-1295, and Ipamorelin lead the list). The one piece missing publicly is pharmacy class disclosure (503A vs 503B); ask the clinic directly. See our full vetting rubric →
