Many insurance plans cover medical consultations and weight loss medications. Coverage varies by plan. We'll verify your specific benefits and discuss any out-of-pocket costs before you start.

What makes this different from online weight loss programs?

We provide personalized medical oversight, physical examinations, and medication management from licensed physicians. We can adjust your treatment based on how your body responds. We also address underlying medical or hormonal issues affecting your weight.

Can I still have the medications if I've tried them before?

Previous experience doesn't disqualify you. We'll discuss what happened before, adjust dosages or medications, or try different approaches based on what you've learned. Our physicians are skilled at optimizing treatment when initial attempts didn't work.

How much weight can I realistically expect to lose?

Realistic weight loss is typically 1-2 pounds per week. Most patients lose 30-50 pounds in six months and continue from there. Results depend on your starting weight, metabolism, and how well you follow the program.

Do you offer payment plans?
