Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation that includes detailed health history, physical examination, and laboratory testing to identify any underlying medical conditions affecting your weight. We'll assess your current medications, hormone levels, and metabolic function. Based on these findings, we'll develop a personalized weight loss plan that may include medical interventions, nutritional guidance, and aesthetic treatments. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress, adjust medications if needed, and track your health markers. As you lose weight, we can incorporate aesthetic treatments to address skin laxity and other concerns.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans for family medicine services and medically necessary weight loss treatments. Many insurance plans cover physician visits, lab work, and medically supervised weight loss programs. Aesthetic services are typically not covered by insurance, with treatments ranging from $200-800 per session depending on the specific procedure. We offer package deals that combine medical weight loss with aesthetic treatments at reduced rates. Payment plans are available for aesthetic services. We provide transparent pricing and will discuss all costs upfront so you can make informed decisions about your treatment plan.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather your medical history including any previous weight loss attempts, current medications, and recent lab work if available. Come prepared to discuss your weight loss goals and any aesthetic concerns you may have. Wear comfortable clothing for your physical examination. If you're interested in aesthetic treatments, consider bringing photos of your desired outcomes for discussion. It's helpful to track your eating habits for a few days before your visit. Be honest about your lifestyle, eating patterns, and previous struggles with weight loss - this information helps us create the most effective treatment plan. Don't start any new diets or supplements before your consultation so we can assess your current status accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach different from other weight loss clinics?

We combine medical weight loss expertise with aesthetic wellness services, so we can address both the health benefits of weight loss and the cosmetic concerns that often accompany significant weight reduction. It's comprehensive care under one roof.

Do I need to use the aesthetic services, or can I just do the medical weight loss?

You can absolutely choose just the medical weight loss program. The aesthetic services are optional add-ons for patients who want to address skin laxity, cellulite, or body contouring concerns.

Will insurance cover any of the treatments?

Insurance typically covers medical visits, lab work, and medically necessary weight loss treatments. Aesthetic services are usually not covered, but we offer package deals and payment plans to make them more affordable.

Can you help if I have diabetes or other medical conditions?

Yes, our family medicine background makes us well-equipped to manage weight loss safely in patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other chronic conditions. We'll coordinate with your other doctors as needed.

What aesthetic treatments do you offer for weight loss patients?

We offer body contouring, skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and treatments for stretch marks. These can help address the aesthetic concerns that sometimes occur with significant weight loss.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies by individual, but our medically supervised programs typically result in 1-2 pounds per week initially. We focus on sustainable loss that you can maintain long-term rather than rapid results.

Do you prescribe weight loss medications?

Yes, when appropriate and medically indicated, we can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. This decision is based on your medical evaluation and weight loss goals.

Can family members participate in the program together?

While each person needs individual medical evaluation, we can coordinate family programs and often see better success when household members support each other's healthy lifestyle changes.
