Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I see a physician for weight loss instead of a weight loss clinic?

Physicians provide medical assessment and can identify underlying causes of weight gain like thyroid problems or hormonal issues. We prescribe medications safely considering your complete medical history. We monitor for complications and coordinate with your other doctors. This is especially important if you have existing health conditions.

What medications do you use?

We use FDA-approved medications like phentermine, topiramate, and others based on individual assessment. Medication choice depends on your health status, other medications, and specific needs. Some patients succeed without medication; others benefit significantly from it. We discuss all options.

How do you monitor my health during weight loss?

We perform regular lab work to track cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, and other markers. We monitor how existing health conditions respond to weight loss. Regular physician appointments ensure we catch any concerns early. This comprehensive monitoring protects your health while achieving your goals.

What if I have diabetes or heart disease?

Patients with these conditions often benefit most from medical weight loss supervision. Weight loss can improve blood sugar control and reduce cardiac risk. We coordinate with your other physicians and adjust treatment carefully. Our medical expertise in managing these patients is a significant advantage.

How long do I need to stay on medication?

Duration depends on your individual response and goals. Some patients use medication for 3-6 months, others longer. We discuss the plan at each visit. Most patients can eventually maintain weight loss through lifestyle alone, though some find ongoing medication helpful.

Are the medications safe?

FDA-approved weight loss medications have established safety profiles when prescribed appropriately. Our physician assessment ensures you're a good candidate and that medications won't conflict with your health conditions or current medications. Regular monitoring catches any issues early.

What makes Healthogenics different from other weight loss clinics?

We're physician-directed with medical oversight throughout your care. We focus on medical science and evidence-based treatment rather than commercial programs. Every patient gets individualized assessment and customized treatment. We invest in understanding your complete health picture.

Can you help if I've had weight loss surgery?

Yes, we have experience managing patients post-bariatric surgery. We can help with weight regain, nutritional concerns, and medication interactions. Our medical perspective helps ensure your continued health after surgery.
