We provide regular monitoring appointments to track progress, adjust medications, and address any concerns.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation where we review your health history, previous weight loss attempts, current medications, and goals. We perform metabolic assessments and may order lab work to identify any underlying factors affecting your weight. Based on this evaluation, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle recommendations.

Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially to monitor your response to treatment, adjust medications as needed, and provide ongoing support. As you progress and stabilize, visits may become monthly. We track your weight loss, body composition changes, and any side effects or concerns. Our team is available between appointments for questions or concerns, and we adjust treatment plans based on your individual response and changing needs.

Insurance & Pricing

Our transparent pricing structure includes consultation fees of $150-250 for initial visits and $75-150 for follow-ups. Prescription medications are additional costs that vary depending on your insurance coverage and the specific medications prescribed. We offer package deals and payment plans to make treatment more affordable.

First-Time Patient Tips

Prepare for your first appointment by gathering information about previous weight loss attempts, current medications, and any medical conditions that might affect weight management. Consider keeping a food diary for several days before your visit to help us understand your current eating patterns. Come with realistic expectations about the timeline for weight loss and understand that medical weight loss still requires commitment to lifestyle changes for success.

Be honest about your challenges, triggers for overeating, and any concerns about medications. The more information you provide, the better we can tailor your treatment plan. Plan to discuss your goals openly and be prepared to commit to regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and support. Remember that sustainable weight loss is a process that typically takes several months, and our team is here to guide and support you throughout the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight loss medications do you prescribe?

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary by individual, but most patients lose 5-20% of their starting weight with our medical programs. Newer medications like GLP-1 agonists often produce more significant results when combined with lifestyle changes.

Most medications have potential side effects, which we discuss thoroughly before prescribing. Common effects include nausea, decreased appetite, and digestive changes, which often improve as your body adjusts to treatment.

Do I need to follow a specific diet?

We provide nutritional guidance rather than rigid diet requirements. Our approach focuses on sustainable eating habits, portion control, and making healthier food choices that you can maintain long-term.

Initially, visits are every 2-4 weeks for monitoring and adjustments. As you progress, appointments typically become monthly, then less frequent for maintenance once you reach your goals.

Will insurance cover my treatment?

Coverage varies significantly by plan. Some visits may be covered under preventive care, while medications and specialized services are often cash-pay. We'll help verify your benefits during consultation.
