What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation where Dr. Collado reviews your complete medical history, conducts a physical examination, and orders necessary lab work. During your initial 90-minute appointment, we discuss your weight history, previous attempts, current medications, and health goals. Our nutritionist conducts a detailed dietary assessment and begins developing your personalized meal plan. Week two includes behavior modification counseling and exercise planning. Monthly follow-up appointments monitor progress, adjust treatment plans, and address any challenges. We track not only weight loss but also improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and other health markers. Most patients see initial results within the first month, with steady progress continuing throughout the program. The typical program duration is 6-12 months, with maintenance support available thereafter.

Our program fees are structured to be affordable, with initial consultations priced at $200 and follow-up visits at $100-150. We offer package deals for committed patients, reducing overall costs for comprehensive programs. Nutritionist consultations are priced separately at $125 per session.

First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, compile a complete list of current medications, recent medical records, and any previous weight loss attempts with their outcomes. Keep a detailed food diary for one week before your visit to help our nutritionist understand your current eating patterns. Bring comfortable clothing for your physical examination and weight measurement. Prepare a list of questions about the program, potential side effects of medications, and realistic expectations for weight loss. Plan for your initial consultation to take approximately 90 minutes. Be prepared to discuss your medical history openly, including any eating disorders or emotional relationships with food. Schedule your first three appointments in advance to maintain momentum in the early stages of treatment.
