What to Expect

When you start with Dominion, you'll have an in-depth initial consultation where we review your complete health history. We'll order any necessary lab work to understand your metabolic function and identify contributing factors to weight gain. This thorough assessment takes time - we don't rush it.

Based on your assessment, we'll design a program that includes medication management, nutritional guidance, and behavioral support. You'll have regular appointments to monitor progress and adjust your plan. We're responsive to how you're doing and don't hesitate to modify the program if needed. Your success matters to us, and we adjust our approach based on real results.

We don't just prescribe medication and send you on your way - we're actively invested in your success. Our team takes time to understand the root causes behind your weight gain, whether that's medical, behavioral, or situational.

Being nurse practitioners means we're trained in both the medical and behavioral aspects of healthcare. We see patients as whole people, not just numbers. If you've had bad experiences with weight loss clinics before, we're committed to being different.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, and weight loss medicine is often covered when medically appropriate. Our team will verify your specific coverage and benefits. We also work with uninsured patients using reasonable fee structures and flexible payment options.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared with your medical history, including any diagnoses, hospitalizations, or surgeries. Bring a list of all current medications and supplements. If you have recent lab work or imaging, bring copies. Wearing comfortable, casual clothing helps during your physical assessment.

Bring your honesty too - this is important. Tell us about previous weight loss attempts, what worked, what didn't, and what obstacles you faced. Share any stress, sleep issues, or emotional challenges you're experiencing. The more we know, the better we can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if weight loss medications don't work for me?

We have options beyond medication and adjust based on how you respond. If one medication isn't effective, we'll try a different one. If medications alone aren't the answer, we enhance your program with intensive behavioral counseling and nutritional support.

How do you address emotional eating?

We recognize that many people eat for reasons other than hunger. Our team includes expertise in behavioral health, and we help identify triggers and develop coping strategies. We might also recommend counseling resources to address underlying stress or emotional issues.

What happens if I have other health conditions like diabetes?

We're experienced in managing weight loss for patients with chronic conditions. We monitor how weight loss affects your other health issues and coordinate with your other doctors. Many patients find that weight loss improves their diabetes and blood pressure management.

How often do I need to come in?

Initially you'll come in every two weeks to closely monitor your progress and medication response. Once you're stable, we move to monthly appointments. Some patients prefer more frequent check-ins for accountability - we customize the schedule to your needs.

Do you help with meal planning?

Yes, we provide practical nutritional guidance tailored to your food preferences and lifestyle. We help you make better choices without requiring strict dieting or elimination of foods you enjoy.

What if I reach my goal weight?

Reaching your goal is fantastic - that's the achievement. From there, we transition to a maintenance plan with less frequent visits to help you keep the weight off long-term. Many patients appreciate having ongoing check-ins for continued accountability.

Are your practitioners available for questions between appointments?

We make ourselves reasonably available for concerns that come up between appointments. You can call our office with questions and our team will respond promptly.

How do you handle insurance and pricing questions?

We're happy to verify your insurance benefits before your first visit. We explain exactly what's covered and what your out-of-pocket costs will be. For uninsured patients, we discuss pricing options upfront and find arrangements that work.
