Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans and work with patients to maximize their benefits for medically necessary weight loss treatments.

For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans to make our programs accessible. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, with follow-up visits priced affordably to encourage regular monitoring.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success in our program requires commitment and active participation in your treatment plan. We ask patients to attend all scheduled appointments, follow dietary recommendations, and honestly communicate about challenges they're experiencing. Keeping a food diary and tracking physical activity helps us make informed adjustments to your program. We encourage patients to ask questions and voice concerns throughout their journey, as open communication is essential for success. It's important to have realistic expectations about the timeline for results, as healthy weight loss typically occurs at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week. We also recommend having a support system in place, whether that's family members, friends, or our support groups. Remember that setbacks are normal and part of the process, what matters is getting back on track with our guidance and support.
