Who Will Prescribe Your Peptides?
Your prescribing provider, Dr. Hobie Fuerstman, is verified in the federal CMS National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) under NPI 1205220712, with a primary specialty of Family Medicine and a primary practice address in Colchester, VT. CMS records show this NPI has been active since 2015. NPPES record verified 2026-04-29.
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. Family Medicine training routinely covers weight management, hormone optimization, and metabolic care — areas where peptide protocols are commonly applied.

Is Preventive Medicine the right fit for you?
✓ Choose Preventive Medicine if:
- You’re in or willing to travel to Colchester — peptide therapy generally requires in-person consultation and ongoing follow-ups.
- You want a physician-led practice (MD/DO).
✗ 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.
- You want a wide compound menu to compare protocols — this listing names only 3 specific compounds, narrower than the median .
- You want a clinic that publicly states its 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy — this listing doesn’t disclose sourcing.
What to Expect at Your First Preventive Medicine 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 — based on what’s published, your provider may select from: BPC-157, Sermorelin or Thymosin Alpha-1. Final selection depends on your goals, lab results, and any contraindications.
- Prescription written + sent to compounding pharmacy — The clinic doesn’t publicly state its 503A or 503B sourcing, so confirm fulfillment timing on your consult call (in-state-only vs. nationwide; compounded-after-Rx vs. pre-batched).
- 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 Preventive Medicine patients report the consult-to-first-injection window runs 1–3 weeks depending on lab turnaround and pharmacy fulfillment.
What to Ask on Your Preventive Medicine 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.
- “Are there other peptides you can prescribe that aren’t published on your listing?” The clinic names 3 compounds publicly — most clinics offer more than they advertise.
- “Is your compounding pharmacy 503A or 503B, and which specific pharmacy do you use?” The class affects whether your prescription is custom-compounded (503A) or pre-batched (503B), and whether they can ship across state lines.
- “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 Preventive Medicine offer telehealth or virtual visits?
Preventive Medicine doesn’t mention telehealth or virtual visits on its listing.

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.
How does Preventive Medicine compare to other Vermont peptide clinics?
Among verified Vermont peptide clinics in the HealingMaps directory, Preventive Medicine ranks among the deepest peptide menus of Vermont clinics in the directory (rank #3). Compound depth is one signal among several — provider credentials, pharmacy sourcing transparency, and lab requirements also matter when comparing.

What Vermont Peptide Patients Are Likely Asking
Themes drawn from HealingMaps editorial analysis of verified Vermont peptide clinics in our directory. Refreshed quarterly; percentages rounded to nearest 5%.
Which peptides do most Vermont clinics actually offer?
Across Vermont peptide clinics in our directory, BPC-157 appears in 75% of listings; Semaglutide in 75%; Sermorelin in 50%; PT-141 in 50%.
How transparent are Vermont clinics about their compounding pharmacy?
0% of Vermont 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 Vermont?
25% of verified Vermont clinics name an MD or DO as clinical lead (this listing’s clinical lead is Family Medicine-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 Vermont peptide menus typically?
The median Vermont clinic in our directory publishes 4 specific peptide compounds on its listing. The deepest disclosed menu names 4; 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 doesn’t state its 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy partner. The class affects how your prescription is fulfilled — custom-compounded with in-state shipping (503A) versus pre-batched with broader shipping including direct-to-home delivery (503B) — so it’s worth asking before starting any compounded protocol.
How we vetted this clinic
We confirmed Preventive Medicine’s named prescriber in CMS NPPES records. 3 peptide compounds on the menu — BPC-157, Sermorelin, and Thymosin Alpha-1 among them. The clinic doesn’t specify pharmacy class (503A vs 503B) publicly — a reasonable thing to ask about before you book. See our full vetting rubric →
