About Brouillette Chris

Dr. Chris Brouillette operates a medical weight loss practice that combines evidence-based medicine with personalized care to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss. As a medical center specializing in weight management, we understand that obesity is a complex medical condition requiring more than simple diet and exercise advice. Our approach involves comprehensive medical evaluation, prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, and ongoing medical supervision throughout your weight loss journey.

Our practice serves patients who've struggled with traditional weight loss methods or have medical conditions that make weight loss more challenging. We provide the medical expertise and ongoing support that's often missing from commercial diet programs. Dr. Brouillette's experience in medical weight management allows us to safely treat patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other obesity-related health conditions while they lose weight.

Services Offered

Our medical weight loss services begin with comprehensive health evaluations including laboratory testing, metabolic assessment, and evaluation of any underlying medical conditions that might be contributing to weight gain or preventing weight loss. We provide prescription medications when medically appropriate, including FDA-approved weight loss drugs and medications to address metabolic disorders like diabetes or thyroid dysfunction. Ongoing medical monitoring ensures your safety throughout the weight loss process, with regular check-ins to adjust medications, monitor progress, and address any health concerns that arise. We also provide nutritional counseling, lifestyle modification support, and coordination with other healthcare providers as needed. Our medical approach is particularly valuable for patients with significant amounts of weight to lose or those with medical conditions that require careful supervision during weight loss.

What to Expect

Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and discussion of your weight loss goals and previous attempts.

Based on these results, we'll develop a personalized medical treatment plan.

Your treatment plan may include prescription medications, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your medical needs. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust medications if needed, and address any concerns or side effects. Our medical supervision ensures that you lose weight safely while managing any existing health conditions effectively.

Why Choose Brouillette Chris

As a medical practice, we offer expertise and resources that non-medical weight loss programs can't provide. Dr. Brouillette's medical training allows us to safely prescribe and monitor weight loss medications, manage complex health conditions during weight loss, and provide the medical supervision that's essential for patients with significant health risks. We take a scientific, evidence-based approach to weight management.

Our patients benefit from having a qualified physician overseeing their weight loss rather than relying on commercial programs that may not address their individual medical needs. We can adjust medications, monitor for complications, and coordinate with other specialists as needed. This medical oversight is particularly important for patients with diabetes, heart conditions, or other health issues that require careful management during weight loss.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations, laboratory testing, and ongoing medical management. Many insurance plans are now covering medical weight loss services, especially when obesity-related health conditions are present. We always verify your benefits before beginning treatment and provide pre-authorization for covered services when required.

For services not covered by insurance, we offer transparent pricing and payment options. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, with follow-up visits costing $100-150. Laboratory testing costs vary depending on which tests are needed. Prescription medications are separate costs that depend on your insurance coverage and the specific medications prescribed.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather all current medications, recent lab work, and medical records from other providers treating conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. We need a complete picture of your health to safely manage your weight loss. Make a list of all previous weight loss attempts, including what worked and what didn't, to help guide our treatment approach.

Be prepared to discuss your medical history in detail, including any family history of obesity, diabetes, or heart disease. Wear comfortable clothing for your physical examination and bring a list of questions about medical weight loss options. It's important to have realistic expectations about the timeline for medical weight loss - safe, sustainable results typically take several months of consistent treatment.
