What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive initial consultation that includes a detailed medical history review, physical examination, and metabolic testing to identify factors affecting your weight. We'll discuss your goals, previous weight loss attempts, and any medical conditions that may impact your treatment plan. Based on these findings, our medical team develops a personalized treatment strategy that may include prescription medications, nutritional counseling, and behavioral therapy. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, adjust medications as needed, and provide ongoing support and motivation. We typically see patients every 2-4 weeks initially, then monthly as they progress toward their goals. Throughout your treatment, you'll have access to our patient portal for questions and support between visits. Our goal is to help you achieve sustainable weight loss while ensuring your safety and overall health improvement throughout the process.

We offer payment plans for qualified patients and can provide documentation for flexible spending accounts or health savings accounts.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, we recommend gathering your medical records, current medications list, and information about previous weight loss attempts to help us understand your history. Come prepared to discuss your goals, lifestyle, and any challenges you've faced with weight management. We encourage patients to bring a list of questions about treatment options and what to expect. After starting treatment, maintain regular communication with our team about any side effects or concerns. Follow medication instructions carefully and attend all scheduled appointments for safety monitoring. Keep a food diary if recommended, and be honest about your eating patterns and challenges. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and results vary among individuals. Stay committed to the process even when progress seems slow, and don't hesitate to reach out for support when you need motivation or guidance.
