About Mohammad Anwar - Carolina Personalized Care

Treatment at Mohammad Anwar - Carolina Personalized Care

Dr. Mohammad Anwar's Carolina Personalized Care takes a comprehensive medical approach to weight management that goes far beyond traditional diet and exercise recommendations. As a board-certified internal medicine physician, Dr. Anwar understands that sustainable weight loss often requires addressing underlying medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction that conventional programs overlook. Our practice combines evidence-based medicine with personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique health profile.

We believe that successful weight management is part of overall health optimization. That's why we integrate weight loss strategies with our internal medicine services and innovative IV hydration therapy. This holistic approach allows us to address not just weight loss, but also energy levels, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal balance, and other factors that contribute to overall wellness and sustainable weight management.

Services Offered

Our weight management services include comprehensive medical evaluations to identify underlying conditions affecting weight, such as thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic syndrome. We provide prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, including the latest FDA-approved options like semaglutide and liraglutide. Our metabolic testing helps determine your body's specific calorie needs and metabolic rate. We offer medical nutrition therapy with registered dietitians who specialize in therapeutic diets for various medical conditions. Our IV hydration therapy supports weight loss efforts by optimizing nutrient levels, boosting energy, and supporting metabolic function. We also provide ongoing medical monitoring including regular lab work to track progress and adjust treatments as needed. Additional services include hormone replacement therapy when indicated, treatment for food sensitivities and digestive issues, and coordination with specialists like endocrinologists when necessary. Our internal medicine background allows us to manage weight loss alongside other chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

What to Expect

Your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation and physical examination. We review your complete medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. Initial testing typically includes comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid function, hormone levels, and other relevant lab work. Based on results, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, nutritional counseling, lifestyle modifications, and IV therapy protocols. Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor progress, adjust medications, and address any concerns. We typically see patients monthly initially, with the frequency adjusted based on individual needs and response to treatment.

Why Choose Mohammad Anwar - Carolina Personalized Care

What sets Carolina Personalized Care apart is our medical expertise and ability to address complex health factors affecting weight loss. As a physician-supervised program, we can prescribe medications and treatments that aren't available through commercial weight loss programs. Dr. Anwar's internal medicine background means we can identify and treat underlying medical conditions that might be preventing your success with traditional approaches. Our integration of IV hydration therapy provides unique support for energy, metabolism, and nutrient optimization during weight loss. We also offer the convenience of managing your weight loss alongside other health concerns in one practice, providing coordinated and comprehensive care. Our personalized approach means treatments are tailored to your specific medical needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare for covered medical services. Insurance coverage for weight loss services varies by plan, but many cover physician-supervised programs when medically necessary. Prescription weight loss medications may be covered depending on your specific plan and medical criteria. IV hydration therapy is typically not covered by insurance and ranges from $150-300 per session depending on the specific nutrients included. Initial consultations range from $250-400, with follow-up visits $150-250. We provide detailed cost estimates and insurance verification before beginning treatment.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared with a complete list of current medications, supplements, and any previous medical records related to weight loss attempts or metabolic testing. Bring results from recent lab work if available, and be ready to discuss your complete medical history including family history of obesity, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a week before your appointment to help us understand your current eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing for your physical examination. Be honest about your weight loss goals and any challenges you've faced with previous programs. Don't stop any current medications before consulting with us first, and bring questions about any concerning symptoms you've experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What prescription weight loss medications do you offer?

We prescribe FDA-approved medications including semaglutide, liraglutide, phentermine, and naltrexone/bupropion combinations based on individual medical assessment. Medication selection depends on your health history, other medications, and specific weight loss needs. We carefully monitor all patients on prescription medications for safety and effectiveness.

How do you determine if I'm a candidate for weight loss medication?

Candidacy is based on BMI, health conditions, previous weight loss attempts, and medical history. We conduct thorough evaluations including lab work and physical examination to ensure medications are safe and appropriate for you. Certain medical conditions or medications may affect eligibility.

What can IV hydration therapy do for weight loss?

IV therapy delivers nutrients directly to your bloodstream, bypassing digestion for maximum absorption. We use formulations that support metabolism, boost energy, aid fat burning, and optimize nutrient levels that are often depleted during weight loss. This can help reduce fatigue and improve results.

Can you help if I have diabetes or other medical conditions?

Yes, Dr. Anwar specializes in managing weight loss for patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and other conditions. Our medical approach allows us to adjust treatments safely while managing your other health conditions. We coordinate care with your other specialists as needed.

How often will I need follow-up appointments?

Initially, we typically schedule monthly visits to monitor progress and adjust treatments. As you stabilize, we may space appointments to every 6-8 weeks. Patients on prescription medications require regular monitoring for safety and effectiveness.

What lab work is typically required?

We usually order comprehensive metabolic panels, thyroid function tests, lipid panels, and hormone levels initially. Additional testing might include insulin levels, inflammatory markers, or nutrient assessments based on your individual situation. Regular monitoring ensures treatments are working safely.

Is this program covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by insurance plan, but many cover physician-supervised weight loss when medically necessary. We verify benefits before starting and can provide documentation for insurance claims. Some services like IV therapy are typically not covered.

How is this different from commercial weight loss programs?

Our medical approach allows us to prescribe medications, order diagnostic tests, and treat underlying conditions that might be preventing weight loss success. We provide true medical supervision rather than just coaching or meal plans, making us appropriate for more complex cases.
