Services Offered
Our weight management program integrates seamlessly with our family practice services, offering medically supervised weight loss plans, nutritional counseling, and ongoing health monitoring. We provide prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, including newer GLP-1 agonists and traditional appetite suppressants, all under careful medical supervision. Our registered dietitian works with patients to create realistic meal plans that accommodate busy family schedules and food preferences. Beyond weight loss, we offer comprehensive health screenings to identify underlying conditions that might be affecting your weight, such as thyroid disorders or insulin resistance. Our behavioral health support includes stress management techniques and habit formation strategies. We also provide body composition analysis, metabolic testing, and regular progress monitoring. For patients with weight-related health conditions, we coordinate care with specialists while maintaining your primary care relationship. Our goal is sustainable weight loss that improves your overall health and quality of life.

What to Expect
Your weight loss journey starts with a comprehensive health evaluation, including lab work, body composition analysis, and a detailed discussion of your health history and goals. We'll identify any underlying medical conditions that might be affecting your weight and develop a personalized treatment plan. This might include medication, nutritional counseling, exercise recommendations, or referrals to specialists.
We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and provide ongoing support. Our approach emphasizes gradual, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. We'll help you set realistic goals and celebrate small victories along the way. Throughout your journey, you'll have access to our patient portal for questions and support between visits.

Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans, including Banner Health Network, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Many insurance plans cover weight management services when medically necessary, and we'll help verify your coverage before treatment begins. For patients without insurance coverage, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment options.
Initial consultation fees range from $200-300, with follow-up visits typically costing $100-150. Prescription medications vary in cost depending on your specific needs and insurance coverage. We're committed to transparent pricing and will discuss all costs upfront so there are no surprises.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first visit, gather any recent lab results, a list of current medications, and information about previous weight loss attempts. Come prepared to discuss your health history, lifestyle, and realistic goals. We recommend keeping a food diary for a week before your appointment to help us understand your current eating patterns.
During treatment, it's important to attend all scheduled appointments and communicate openly about challenges you're facing. Weight loss takes time, and there will be ups and downs along the way, that's completely normal. We encourage patients to focus on non-scale victories like improved energy, better sleep, or clothes fitting better. Remember, we're here to support you every step of the way, so don't hesitate to reach out when you need help or encouragement.
