Frequently Asked Questions

Is medical weight loss safe?

Yes, when supervised by qualified physicians like ours. We conduct thorough health evaluations before starting any program and monitor you regularly. Medications are FDA-approved and prescribed appropriately for your individual health profile.

Will I gain the weight back after stopping treatment?

Not necessarily. Our focus is teaching you sustainable habits and lifestyle changes that stick with you long-term. Many patients maintain their weight loss because they've learned new eating patterns and stress management techniques. Success depends on applying what you've learned.

Do you work with patients who have tried everything?

Absolutely. Many of our patients have tried multiple diets and programs without lasting success. We specialize in finding what works for your unique body and life circumstances.

How often will I need to come in?

Initial programs typically include weekly or bi-weekly visits for the first month, then monthly follow-ups. We adjust frequency based on your progress and needs. Telehealth options let you skip some in-person visits if necessary.

What if I have a medical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure?

That's actually important information for us. Medical conditions often play a role in weight gain, and treating them properly can improve weight loss results. Our physicians will coordinate your weight loss care with your other medical needs.

Can you help with emotional eating?

Yes, behavioral counseling is a core part of our program. We help you identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build a healthier relationship with food beyond just calories and nutrition.

What happens at my first appointment?

We conduct a comprehensive health evaluation including bloodwork, metabolic testing, and a detailed discussion of your weight history and goals. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's driving your weight and a personalized treatment plan.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Weight loss services are often covered when deemed medically necessary. Call us to verify your specific coverage before your appointment.
