What to Expect

Your weight management journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation that includes reviewing your health history, current medications, and lifestyle factors. We perform physical examination and order appropriate laboratory tests to assess your overall health and identify any medical factors affecting weight. Based on these findings, we develop a personalized weight loss plan that may include prescription medications, structured eating guidelines, and lifestyle modifications. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress, adjust treatments, and provide ongoing support and motivation. Most patients begin seeing results within the first month, with significant improvements typically achieved over 3-6 months.

Why Choose Frankford Health Associates

Our family practice setting allows us to provide continuity of care that extends beyond just weight loss to overall health management. We know our patients personally and understand their individual circumstances and challenges. Our smaller practice size means longer appointment times and more personalized attention than you'll typically find at large weight loss centers. We can coordinate all aspects of your healthcare, adjusting other medications and treatments as your weight changes. Our suburban location provides a comfortable, less intimidating environment than urban medical centers.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, and many cover medically supervised weight loss programs when patients have obesity-related health conditions. Initial consultations are typically covered as regular office visits with standard copays. Follow-up weight management visits range from $100-200 depending on services provided. Prescription medications are covered by most insurance formularies, though specific coverage varies by plan. We provide prior authorization assistance when needed and work with patients to find affordable medication options. Payment plans are available for patients with high deductibles or limited insurance coverage.

First-Time Patient Tips

Bring a complete list of current medications, including vitamins and supplements, to your initial consultation. Keep a food diary for several days before your appointment if possible. Wear comfortable clothing for physical examination and weight measurements. Be prepared to discuss your weight history, previous diet attempts, and current eating patterns honestly. Family members are welcome to attend appointments if household changes are being considered. Most patients start with monthly appointments, with frequency adjusted based on progress and individual needs. Don't hesitate to call between appointments if you have questions or concerns about your program.
