First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather any recent lab results, medical records, and a list of all current medications and supplements. Complete all pre-visit forms thoroughly and honestly - this information is crucial for creating your treatment plan. Come prepared to discuss your weight history in detail, including what has and hasn't worked in the past. Plan for your initial visit to take 60-90 minutes as we conduct comprehensive assessments. If metabolic testing is scheduled, follow all fasting and preparation instructions carefully. We encourage bringing a support person to your consultation and asking any questions you have about the process or recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of metabolic testing do you perform?

We conduct comprehensive hormone panels, insulin sensitivity tests, resting metabolic rate analysis, thyroid function testing, and advanced body composition measurements. The specific tests depend on your individual symptoms and health history.

How is your approach different from commercial diet programs?

We focus on identifying and treating underlying metabolic dysfunction rather than just creating calorie deficits. Our medical approach addresses hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, and other factors that can prevent successful weight loss through diet alone.

Can you help if I've failed at weight loss multiple times before?

Absolutely. Many of our most successful patients have tried numerous approaches before finding us. Failed attempts often indicate underlying metabolic issues that need medical treatment, which is exactly what we specialize in identifying and addressing.

How quickly will I see results from your programs?

Many patients notice improvements in energy and initial weight loss within 2-4 weeks. Significant metabolic improvements typically take 8-12 weeks, with optimal results achieved over 6-12 months depending on individual factors.

Do you work with patients who have diabetes or prediabetes?

Yes, we have extensive experience helping patients with diabetes, prediabetes, and metabolic syndrome. We coordinate with your endocrinologist or primary care physician to ensure comprehensive care while optimizing your weight management.

What insurance do you accept for your services?

We work with most major insurance plans including Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Medicare. Coverage varies by plan, but many services are covered under obesity medicine benefits.

How often will I need to come in during my program?

Initially, visits are typically every 2-4 weeks for monitoring and treatment adjustments. As you stabilize and progress, appointments may become less frequent while maintaining regular check-ins for ongoing support.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We provide comprehensive maintenance programs to help you sustain your metabolic improvements and weight loss long-term. This includes ongoing monitoring, lifestyle support, and treatment adjustments as needed to prevent weight regain.
