Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. Our dietitians provide ongoing support through individual sessions and group workshops.

What sets Advocare apart is our integrated approach that combines medical supervision with nutritional expertise. Unlike commercial weight loss programs, we have the medical knowledge to safely treat patients with health conditions while helping them lose weight. Our team stays current with the latest research in obesity medicine and nutrition science.

We focus on building lasting relationships with our patients rather than promoting quick fixes. Our success rates speak for themselves, with many patients achieving and maintaining significant weight loss. We offer flexible scheduling and work with your insurance whenever possible to make our services accessible.

Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans cover medically supervised weight loss programs, especially when you have obesity-related health conditions. We work with most major insurance providers and will verify your coverage before treatment begins. For patients without insurance coverage, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans. Initial consultations typically range from $150-250, with follow-up visits ranging from $75-150. Nutritional counseling sessions are often covered separately under your insurance plan's preventive care benefits.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, gather your medical records, current medication list, and any previous weight loss attempts. Come prepared to discuss your eating habits, exercise routine, and weight loss goals honestly. We recommend keeping a food diary for a few days before your appointment.

During treatment, follow your prescribed plan consistently and attend all scheduled appointments. Don't hesitate to reach out between visits if you have questions or concerns. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, so be patient with the process and celebrate small victories along the way. Our team is here to support you every step of the journey.
