Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations and laboratory work, though coverage for weight loss services varies by plan. Our team will verify your benefits and provide a clear breakdown of expected costs before beginning treatment. For services not covered by insurance, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Initial consultations range from $200-300, with follow-up visits typically $100-150. We believe quality medical weight loss care should be accessible and work with patients to find affordable solutions.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success in our program requires commitment to the process and open communication with our team. Come prepared to discuss your complete medical history, including previous weight loss attempts, current medications, and lifestyle factors. We recommend bringing a list of questions and realistic expectations about your timeline. Most patients see initial results within 2-4 weeks, but sustainable weight loss typically takes 6-12 months or longer.

How is medical weight loss different from commercial programs?

Medical weight loss involves physician supervision and can address underlying health issues that may be preventing weight loss. We can prescribe medications and order medical tests that commercial programs can't provide.

Will I need to take weight loss medications?

Not necessarily. Dr. Myers evaluates each patient individually and only recommends medications when they're medically appropriate and likely to be beneficial for your specific situation.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies significantly between individuals based on starting weight, medical history, and adherence to the program. Most patients lose 1-3 pounds per week initially, with steady progress toward their goals.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations and lab work. Coverage for weight loss services varies by plan, and our team will help verify your benefits.

What happens if I hit a weight loss plateau?

Plateaus are normal and expected during weight loss. Dr. Myers will evaluate your progress and adjust your plan, which may include changing medications, modifying your nutrition plan, or addressing other factors.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, appointments are scheduled every 2-4 weeks to monitor progress and make adjustments. As you progress, visits may become less frequent but regular monitoring continues throughout the program.

Can you help with weight maintenance after reaching my goal?

Absolutely. We offer specific maintenance programs because keeping weight off long-term often requires ongoing support and strategy adjustments.

What if I have other medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure?

Dr. Myers specializes in treating patients with complex medical histories. Many conditions actually improve with medically supervised weight loss, and we'll coordinate with your other physicians as needed.
