Services Offered

We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for patients experiencing age-related metabolic decline. Our nutritional counseling services focus on metabolic typing and personalized nutrition plans based on individual genetic and metabolic profiles.

Insurance & Pricing
As a medical practice, we accept most major insurance plans for consultations and medically necessary treatments. Many insurance plans cover weight loss treatment when prescribed for obesity-related health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Our staff will verify your insurance benefits and provide cost estimates before treatment begins. Self-pay options are available with transparent pricing and payment plans for patients without coverage or for services not covered by insurance. Hormone therapy and IV treatments may require separate payment depending on your insurance coverage. We work with healthcare financing companies to make our advanced treatments accessible to more patients.
First-Time Patient Tips
Please bring all current medications, recent lab work, and medical records to your first appointment with Dr. White. Fast for 8-12 hours before your appointment if lab work is scheduled. During treatment, it's important to follow medication instructions precisely and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. Some patients may experience side effects when starting new medications - we'll provide detailed information on what to expect and when to contact our office. Most patients begin seeing results within 4-6 weeks, but optimal results typically take 3-6 months to achieve. We encourage patients to track their progress through measurements, photos, and energy levels rather than focusing solely on scale weight. Communication with our team is crucial for optimizing your treatment plan and addressing any concerns that arise during your weight loss journey.
