Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can I expect to lose with your program?

Weight loss varies by individual, but patients typically lose 1-3 pounds per week with our medically supervised programs. Most patients achieve 5-15% of their body weight loss within the first 6 months when following their treatment plan consistently.

Do you accept insurance for weight loss treatments?

We accept most major insurance plans and work to verify coverage for medically necessary weight loss treatments. Coverage varies by plan and medical necessity, and our staff will help determine your benefits before treatment begins.

What makes medical weight loss different from diet programs?

Medical weight loss is supervised by licensed physicians who can prescribe medications and address underlying health conditions affecting weight. We provide comprehensive medical evaluation and ongoing monitoring that commercial diet programs cannot offer.

Are there any side effects from weight loss medications?

Prescription weight loss medications may have side effects, which vary by medication and individual response. Our medical team carefully monitors patients and adjusts treatments as needed to minimize side effects while maintaining effectiveness.

How often will I need to visit the clinic?

Initial visits may be weekly or bi-weekly, then typically transition to monthly appointments as you progress. Visit frequency depends on your individual treatment plan and how well you're responding to therapy.

Can I continue my current medications while in your program?

We review all current medications during your initial consultation and work with your other healthcare providers as needed. Some medications may affect weight loss, and adjustments might be necessary with your prescribing physician's approval.

What happens if I regain weight after completing the program?

We provide maintenance programs and ongoing support to help prevent weight regain. Many patients return for periodic check-ins or refresher programs to maintain their weight loss long-term.

Do I need a referral from my doctor to start treatment?

A referral is not required for most of our services, though some insurance plans may require one for coverage. We recommend consulting with your primary care physician about your weight loss goals as part of your overall health management.
