Services Offered

CareBridge offers medically supervised weight loss as part of our comprehensive primary care services. Our providers evaluate your weight concerns in the context of your complete health profile, screening for metabolic disorders, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and other medical factors affecting weight. We prescribe appropriate medications when beneficial, provide detailed nutrition guidance, and help you develop sustainable behavioral changes. Beyond weight loss, CareBridge provides urgent care for non-emergency medical issues, preventative health screenings, chronic disease management, and family medicine care. We coordinate your weight loss journey with your existing health conditions, whether you have diabetes, hypertension, or heart concerns. Our integrated approach means your weight loss plan works with your other medications and health goals rather than against them. We offer both in-person and telehealth consultations for convenience.

Your weight loss journey starts with a comprehensive primary care evaluation that includes lab work to check your metabolic function, hormones, and overall health status. We'll discuss your medical history, weight loss goals, dietary habits, activity level, and any previous weight loss attempts. Based on this information, we'll develop a personalized plan that may include prescription medications, dietary guidance, exercise recommendations, and behavioral strategies.

Regular follow-up visits every 2-4 weeks allow us to monitor your progress, assess how you're tolerating any medications, and adjust your plan as needed. We use your existing health records to ensure your weight loss plan doesn't interfere with management of other conditions. Many patients find the integrated approach at CareBridge more effective because everything is coordinated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my other health conditions affect my weight loss plan?

Absolutely, and that's why we evaluate them carefully. Conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, and PCOS affect weight loss differently. We'll adjust your plan to address these conditions while maximizing weight loss success.

Can I use weight loss medication if I'm on other prescriptions?

In most cases, yes. Our providers thoroughly review all your medications to ensure there are no dangerous interactions. We'll adjust dosages or medications if needed to keep you safe.

Does insurance cover weight loss services here?

Most plans cover primary care visits for weight loss, though the amount varies. We'll verify your coverage before starting treatment so you know what to expect financially.

What happens when I reach my goal weight?

We transition you to maintenance mode with less frequent visits and ongoing support. We'll help you develop habits to keep weight off long-term, and you can return to CareBridge anytime you need help.

How is weight loss managed with diabetes?

Carefully and with close monitoring. Weight loss can improve blood sugar control, which might mean lowering your diabetes medication. We check your blood sugar regularly and adjust medications accordingly.

Can I do this program virtually?

Yes, we offer telehealth visits for follow-ups and ongoing management. Your initial visit should be in-person for physical exam and lab work, but most subsequent visits can be virtual.

What if the medication causes side effects?

Tell us immediately. We'll either adjust your dose, try a different medication, or develop a non-medication approach. Your comfort and safety matter most to us.

How do you handle patients with eating disorders?

We screen for disordered eating and work carefully with these patients. We may refer you to a mental health professional and develop a modified plan that addresses underlying psychological factors.
