We coordinate all aspects of your care to ensure consistency and safety throughout your weight loss journey.
Why Choose Health Hub
Our medical oversight provides safety and effectiveness that standalone weight loss programs can't match. Having family practice, weight loss, and diagnostic services in one location means better coordination of care and more convenient appointments. Our physicians can prescribe medications when appropriate and monitor their effects on your overall health. We understand the complex relationship between weight and health conditions, allowing us to optimize treatment for both. Our evidence-based approach ensures you're receiving treatments proven effective through medical research. The continuity of care we provide means we're with you for the long term, not just during active weight loss.
Insurance & Pricing
Many of our weight loss services may be covered by insurance, especially when medically necessary due to obesity-related health conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before treatment begins. Some diagnostic tests and prescription medications are typically covered, while certain specialized services may require out-of-pocket payment. We provide detailed cost estimates and work with you to maximize your insurance benefits. Payment plans are available for services not covered by insurance.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared for your initial appointment with a complete list of medications, supplements, and any previous weight loss attempts. Lab work may be required before starting certain treatments, so plan accordingly. Be honest about your eating patterns, exercise habits, and any challenges you've faced with previous weight loss efforts. If prescribed medications, take them exactly as directed and report any side effects promptly. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments even if you're feeling well - monitoring is crucial for safe, effective treatment. Keep a food diary if requested and be prepared to discuss your progress openly with your healthcare team.
