What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including blood work, body composition analysis, and detailed health history review. During this initial consultation, we assess your current health status, identify any underlying conditions affecting weight, and discuss your goals and preferences. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include medications, nutrition counseling, and lifestyle modifications. Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor progress, adjust treatments, and provide ongoing support. We typically see patients monthly initially, then transition to longer intervals as they achieve stability in their weight loss journey.
Why Choose Melamed Weight and Wellness
What sets us apart is our medical expertise combined with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to weight loss. Our physicians are board-certified and stay current with the latest advances in obesity medicine and weight management. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions - every treatment plan is customized based on your individual needs, preferences, and medical history. Our success rates are exceptional because we focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than temporary fixes. We also offer ongoing support even after you've reached your goal weight, helping you maintain your results long-term. Our patients appreciate our thorough approach and the fact that we address the root causes of weight gain, not just the symptoms.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations and certain treatments. Many insurance companies are increasingly covering medically supervised weight loss programs, especially for patients with obesity-related health conditions. For services not covered by insurance, we offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, while follow-up visits are generally $100-150. Medication costs vary depending on the specific treatment prescribed and your insurance coverage. We provide detailed cost estimates upfront so there are no surprises.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, please gather any recent lab work, medication lists, and previous weight loss attempt records. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a few days prior to your visit. Wear comfortable clothing for body composition measurements and come prepared to discuss your weight history honestly. Don't start any new diets or supplements before your consultation - we want to see your baseline status. Plan to spend about 60-90 minutes for your initial visit. Bring a list of questions and be ready to discuss your goals, challenges, and what you hope to achieve through our program.
