About Century City Medical

Century City Medical has been serving Los Angeles residents looking for real, sustainable weight loss results. The clinic combines medical oversight with personalized nutrition counseling, so patients aren't just handed a diet sheet and sent home. The team takes time to understand each person's health history, lifestyle, and goals before building a plan.

The clinic sits in the heart of Century City, making it easy to reach from Westside neighborhoods including Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. Patients consistently rate the staff highly for being thorough without being dismissive, and the integrated approach -- pairing physicians with registered nutritionists -- sets it apart from one-size-fits-all weight loss chains.

Services Offered

Century City Medical offers a full spectrum of medically supervised weight loss services. The core program starts with a comprehensive metabolic panel and body composition analysis to establish a clear baseline. From there, physicians work with nutritionists to design a calorie and macronutrient framework tailored to each patient's metabolism and health conditions. The clinic provides prescription weight loss medications when clinically appropriate, including GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. These are managed carefully with regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust dosing. Nutritional counseling sessions run throughout the program, covering meal planning, grocery strategies, and habit coaching. Behavioral support is woven into the program rather than treated as optional. Patients learn to identify triggers and build routines that stick beyond the active phase of the program. Lab work is repeated at regular intervals to track metabolic markers like fasting glucose, lipids, and thyroid function. The clinic also offers body composition tracking using DEXA-equivalent methods to measure fat loss versus lean mass retention.

What to Expect

The process starts with an initial consultation that runs about 60 minutes. A physician reviews your medical history, current medications, and prior weight loss attempts. Blood work is ordered at this visit or shortly after, covering a metabolic panel, thyroid function, insulin levels, and a lipid profile.

Once results are in, you meet again to review findings and agree on a starting plan. This second visit typically happens within a week. Your nutritionist builds a meal framework and you receive a written guide with practical steps for the first 30 days.

Monthly check-ins are standard, with more frequent visits during the early weeks if medication is being titrated. Progress is tracked using weight, measurements, and lab values. The plan gets adjusted based on what's working and what isn't -- this isn't a static program. Most patients complete an active treatment phase of six to twelve months, then transition to a maintenance check-in schedule.

Why Choose Century City Medical

The combination of physician oversight and registered dietitian support under one roof is the main reason patients choose this clinic over standalone diet programs or general practitioners. You're not bouncing between offices or trying to coordinate care on your own.

The team has handled complex cases involving metabolic disorders, which means they're not thrown off if your situation doesn't fit a simple template. They adjust. The clinic's 4.8-star rating reflects consistent follow-through -- patients note that staff actually return calls and that appointments run on time.

For people who've tried and failed with generic approaches, the personalized lab-driven methodology makes a practical difference. There's no guessing about what's causing a plateau when you have actual metabolic data. The Century City location is also genuinely convenient for Westside residents who can't easily reach clinics in the Valley or farther east.

Insurance & Pricing

Century City Medical accepts several major insurance plans for the medical consultation and follow-up visit components of the program. Nutrition counseling may also be covered depending on your plan and diagnosis codes. It's worth calling the front desk with your insurance information before your first visit to get a clear picture.

For services not covered by insurance, the clinic offers transparent self-pay pricing. Initial consultations typically run $200-$350. Monthly program fees vary by service level. Prescription medications like semaglutide are billed separately through pharmacy benefits or directly, depending on coverage.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, pull together a list of all current medications and supplements, plus any recent lab work you have from the past year. If you've had blood work done through another provider recently, bring those results -- it may save you from repeating tests unnecessarily.

Come prepared to talk honestly about your dietary habits and activity level. The team isn't there to judge; they need accurate information to build a plan that actually fits your life. If you've tried specific diets or medications before, note what happened.

Wear comfortable clothing to your first visit since body measurements are taken. Plan for the initial appointment to take about an hour. After that, follow-up visits are shorter -- usually 20 to 30 minutes. If questions come up between visits, the clinic has a patient portal for messaging the care team without needing to call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to start at Century City Medical?

No referral is required for most patients. You can call or book online directly. If your insurance requires a referral for certain services, the front desk can help clarify before your first visit.

How long before I see results?

Most patients see measurable weight loss within the first four to six weeks, particularly if medication is part of the plan. The pace varies by individual metabolism, adherence, and starting weight. The clinical team sets realistic expectations at your first visit based on your specific profile.

Can I do the program if I have type 2 diabetes?

Yes. The physicians at Century City Medical have experience managing weight loss alongside diabetes. Your diabetes medications may need adjustment as you lose weight, and the team coordinates those changes carefully.

Is semaglutide available here?

Yes, the clinic prescribes GLP-1 medications including semaglutide and tirzepatide when clinically appropriate. A physician evaluation is required first to confirm candidacy and rule out contraindications.

How often do I need to come in?

During the first month, visits are typically bi-weekly. After that, most patients come in monthly. Telehealth options are available for follow-ups once you're an established patient.

What if I hit a plateau?

Plateaus are expected and the team plans for them. When progress stalls, the physician reviews your current labs and the dietitian reassesses your nutrition plan. Adjustments to medication dosing, caloric targets, or meal timing are made based on data rather than guesswork.

Does the program include exercise guidance?

The clinic provides general physical activity recommendations as part of the program. For patients who need a more structured exercise plan, they can refer you to partner physical therapists or fitness professionals in the area.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

The clinic transitions you to a maintenance program with quarterly check-ins and periodic lab reviews. The goal is to help you hold your results long-term, not just hit a number and leave you on your own.
