About KindlyMD
KindlyMD in Millcreek takes a holistic approach to weight management, recognizing that successful weight loss often requires addressing both physical and mental health aspects. Our multidisciplinary team combines medical expertise with counseling services and pain management to provide comprehensive care for patients whose weight struggles may be connected to chronic pain, mental health challenges, or medication side effects.
We understand that weight gain can be a complex issue involving emotional eating, medication-induced changes, chronic pain limiting mobility, and other interconnected factors. Our integrated approach allows us to address these multiple contributing factors simultaneously, creating more effective and sustainable weight loss outcomes. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the number on the scale, while providing the medical oversight necessary for safe and effective weight management.
Services Offered
Our integrated weight management services combine medical weight loss protocols with mental health support and pain management techniques. We begin with comprehensive medical evaluations to identify underlying health conditions, medication effects, and metabolic factors affecting weight. Our medical team can prescribe appropriate weight loss medications while monitoring for safety and effectiveness. Mental health counseling addresses emotional eating patterns, stress management, body image issues, and any underlying mental health conditions that may impact weight management success. For patients dealing with chronic pain, we offer pain management services that can improve mobility and exercise tolerance, crucial components of successful weight loss. We provide nutritional counseling, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle coaching tailored to each patient's unique circumstances. Our coordinated care approach ensures that all aspects of your health are considered and addressed throughout your weight loss journey, with regular communication between our medical, mental health, and pain management specialists.

We're particularly effective for patients who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods or whose weight issues are complicated by depression, anxiety, chronic pain, or medication side effects. Our high patient satisfaction ratings reflect our commitment to treating each patient as a unique individual with personalized care needs.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans, with many covering medical consultations, mental health services, and pain management treatments when medically necessary. Weight management services coverage varies by insurance provider and specific plan benefits. We offer transparent pricing for services not covered by insurance and can provide detailed cost estimates before beginning treatment. Our billing department works with patients to understand their insurance benefits and explore payment options to make comprehensive care accessible and affordable.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, complete our comprehensive health questionnaire including details about your medical history, current medications, pain levels, and mental health concerns. Keep a food and mood diary for one week to help our team understand patterns between eating, emotions, and physical symptoms. Prepare a list of all previous weight loss attempts, including what worked and what didn't. Be ready to discuss how pain, mood, or medications might be affecting your weight and eating habits. Bring all current medications, recent lab results, and any relevant medical records. Most importantly, come with openness to exploring how different aspects of your health might be connected and affecting your weight management success.
