Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your weight loss medications different from over-the-counter options?

We prescribe FDA-approved prescription medications that are much more effective than over-the-counter supplements. These medications work through specific mechanisms to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and promote weight loss with proven clinical results.

How do you determine which weight loss medication is right for me?

Our physicians conduct comprehensive medical evaluations including lab work, medical history review, and assessment of your specific weight loss goals. Medication selection is based on your health status, potential drug interactions, and likelihood of success with specific treatments.

What kind of weight loss can I expect with your programs?

Most patients lose 10-20% of their body weight within 6 months, though individual results vary. Patients using our advanced GLP-1 therapies often achieve even greater weight loss with proper adherence to the program.

Are there significant side effects with weight loss medications?

Side effects vary by medication but are generally manageable with proper medical supervision. Common effects may include nausea, digestive changes, or decreased appetite. We monitor all patients closely and can adjust treatments to minimize side effects.

Do I need to follow a specific diet while on weight loss medications?

While medications help control appetite, following our nutritional guidance enhances results and establishes healthy long-term eating habits. Our dietitians provide practical meal planning that works with your medication regimen.

How often will I need to visit your clinic?

Initially, visits are scheduled every 2-4 weeks for medication monitoring and dose adjustments. As treatment progresses and you reach stable dosing, visits may be spaced further apart while maintaining safety monitoring.

What happens when I stop taking weight loss medications?

We work with patients to develop maintenance strategies before discontinuing medications. Some patients benefit from continued treatment at lower doses, while others transition to lifestyle-based maintenance programs.

Can you help coordinate care with my other doctors?

Yes, we regularly communicate with patients' primary care physicians and specialists to ensure coordinated care. Weight loss often improves other health conditions, and we help manage medication adjustments as your health improves.
