About First Coast M.D.

First Coast M.D. has been serving the Jacksonville community since 2016, offering both comprehensive weight loss programs and urgent care services under one roof. Our unique dual approach recognizes that health is multifaceted, sometimes you need immediate medical attention, and other times you need long-term weight management support. This combination allows us to provide continuity of care that's rare in today's healthcare landscape.

Our experienced medical team understands the complex relationship between weight management and overall health. We've seen how untreated weight issues can lead to emergency situations, which is why we're passionate about prevention through effective weight loss programs. By offering both services, we can address immediate health concerns while also helping patients achieve long-term wellness goals.

Services Offered

First Coast M.D. provides comprehensive medical weight loss programs alongside full-service urgent care. Our weight management services include physician-supervised programs with prescription medications, metabolic testing, nutritional counseling, and behavioral modification support. We offer specialized treatment for obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Our urgent care services handle non-emergency medical issues including illness treatment, minor injuries, physical exams, and preventive care. This unique combination means we can monitor your weight loss progress while addressing any health issues that arise. We provide lab services, diagnostic testing, and can coordinate care with specialists when needed. Our weight loss programs include regular health monitoring, ensuring that any medical concerns are addressed immediately. We also offer corporate wellness programs and preventive care services that complement our weight management focus.

Insurance & Pricing

Insurance coverage varies for weight loss treatments, but we work with patients to maximize benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs. Our transparent pricing structure covers both service lines with no hidden fees. Urgent care visits are typically covered by insurance, while weight loss programs may have co-pays or be self-pay depending on your plan.

First-Time Patient Tips

When visiting First Coast M.D., bring your insurance cards, current medication list, and any relevant medical records. If you're coming for weight loss consultation, prepare to discuss your goals and previous attempts. For urgent care needs, describe your symptoms clearly and bring any relevant test results. We recommend establishing care with us even when you're healthy so we can provide better urgent care when needed. Keep us informed about any changes in your health status, medications, or weight loss progress. Our integrated approach works best when we have complete information about your health picture. Don't hesitate to contact us for questions about either weight management or urgent health concerns.
