What to Expect
Your program begins with a comprehensive medical consultation including physical examination, health history review, and discussion of your weight loss goals. We'll order appropriate lab work to assess your metabolic health and identify any underlying medical issues affecting your weight.
Based on your results, our physician will create a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations. You'll meet regularly with our medical team for monitoring, medication adjustments, and progress assessments. Our dietitians and coaches provide ongoing support between medical visits.

The frequency of visits varies but typically starts weekly and adjusts based on your progress and needs.

Insurance & Pricing
Many insurance plans cover physician visits and lab work for medically necessary weight loss treatment, especially when obesity-related health conditions are present. Coverage varies by plan, but we'll verify your benefits and help you understand what's covered.
Initial consultations typically range from $200-350, with follow-up visits costing $75-150. Prescription medications vary in cost depending on your insurance coverage and specific medications prescribed. Lab work costs $150-400 depending on tests ordered. We accept HSA and FSA payments, and offer payment plans for those who qualify. We believe medical weight loss should be accessible and work with patients to find affordable options for necessary care.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared with a complete list of current medications, supplements, and any recent medical records or lab results. Be honest about your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and current eating habits - this information helps us create the most effective plan for you.
Expect regular monitoring especially in the first few months as we adjust medications and assess your response to treatment. Follow medication instructions carefully and report any side effects promptly. Many patients notice appetite changes and increased energy within the first few weeks. Significant weight loss typically occurs over 3-6 months with medical supervision. Stay committed to follow-up appointments even when you're doing well, as ongoing monitoring is crucial for both safety and long-term success.
