Why Choose Beale Medical Weight Loss

What sets us apart is our medical expertise combined with a realistic understanding of weight loss challenges. Unlike commercial diet programs, we address medical factors that often sabotage weight loss efforts. Our physicians are board-certified and experienced in obesity medicine.

Our success rates speak for themselves, with most patients losing 15-30 pounds in their first three months while improving their overall health markers.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, though coverage for weight loss services varies by provider and plan type. Many patients find that HSA and FSA accounts can be used for our medically supervised programs. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, with follow-up visits costing $75-150. Prescription medications and supplements are additional costs. We offer payment plans and package deals for patients paying out of pocket.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, we'll send you forms to complete including a detailed health history and food diary. Please bring all current medications, recent lab results if available, and your insurance cards. Expect your initial appointment to last 60-90 minutes. We'll discuss your weight loss history, current challenges, and goals. Lab work may be ordered to check thyroid function, blood sugar levels, and other relevant markers. Don't start any new diets before your appointment, as we want to understand your current eating patterns. Come prepared with questions about medications, expected timeline, and lifestyle modifications.
