Insurance & Pricing

Most major insurance plans are accepted including Cigna, Blue Cross, Aetna, and United Healthcare. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend calling ahead to verify your benefits. Self-pay patients receive a discounted rate of $150 for initial consultations and $80 for follow-ups. Medication costs vary based on the specific prescription.

First-Time Patient Tips

Arrive 15 minutes early to your first appointment with a list of current medications and any medical records from other providers. Wear comfortable clothing for weigh-ins and measurements. Bring a food diary from the past week if possible, this helps us understand your baseline habits.

Between visits, track your eating patterns and any questions that arise. Don't skip meals or drastically restrict calories without guidance from our team. Stay hydrated and get adequate sleep, as both significantly impact weight loss. Most importantly, be honest with us about struggles or setbacks. We're here to support you, not judge you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight will I lose?

Weight loss varies based on individual factors, medication response, and lifestyle adherence. Most patients lose 15-25% of their body weight over six months. We focus on sustainable loss rather than rapid results.

Do I need to follow a specific diet?

We don't prescribe restrictive diets. Instead, our dietitian works with you to modify your current eating habits into healthier patterns you can maintain. This personalized approach has higher long-term success rates.

Are weight loss medications safe?

FDA-approved medications are safe when used as prescribed under medical supervision. We monitor you regularly with lab work and adjust dosages as needed. Side effects are typically mild and manageable.

How often will I have appointments?

Initially, we schedule monthly visits to monitor progress and adjust treatment. As you stabilize, appointments typically space to every 6-8 weeks. You can reach our office by phone between visits if questions arise.

What if the medication isn't working?

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. If your current medication isn't delivering results, we'll try alternatives or adjust your dosage. We also reassess nutrition and behavioral factors.

Will my weight come back after treatment?

Long-term success depends on maintaining the habits you develop during treatment. We provide ongoing support and can continue medications indefinitely if needed. Many patients transition to maintenance appointments.

Can I do this program while pregnant or nursing?

Weight loss medications generally aren't recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We'll work with you on safe nutrition and lifestyle modifications during this time and restart medications afterward if desired.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring a photo ID, insurance card, current medication list, and any relevant medical records from other doctors. A food diary from the past week is helpful but not required.
