About My Doctor Weight Loss Clinic
My Doctor Weight Loss Clinic in National City has been helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss for over a decade. We understand that losing weight isn't just about willpower, it's about finding the right medical support and personalized approach that works for your unique body and lifestyle.
Our clinic combines medical expertise with compassionate care to create realistic, achievable weight loss plans. We don't believe in quick fixes or extreme measures. Instead, we focus on evidence-based treatments that address the root causes of weight gain, including hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, and lifestyle factors that may be working against your goals.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood work to check for thyroid issues, diabetes, and other conditions that might affect weight loss. We'll discuss your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and current medications. Based on these findings, we create a personalized treatment plan that might include prescription medications, meal planning, exercise recommendations, and regular monitoring appointments. Most patients visit monthly for the first three months, then adjust frequency based on progress. We track not just weight but also body composition, energy levels, and overall health markers.
Why Choose My Doctor Weight Loss Clinic
What sets us apart is our genuine commitment to each patient's success. Unlike chain weight loss centers, we provide personalized medical attention from licensed physicians who understand that weight loss is rarely one-size-fits-all. Our success rates are impressive, over 85% of our patients lose at least 10% of their body weight within six months. We offer flexible payment plans and work with several insurance providers. Our bilingual team ensures clear communication, and we understand the cultural factors that influence eating habits in our diverse community. We're not just focused on the number on the scale but on helping you develop sustainable, healthy habits for life.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Medicare, though coverage varies by plan. Initial consultations typically range from $150-200, while follow-up visits are usually $75-100. Prescription medications and supplements are additional costs. We offer package deals for comprehensive programs starting at $299 per month. Many patients find that insurance covers a significant portion of medically necessary treatments, especially for those with obesity-related health conditions.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come to your first appointment having fasted for at least 8 hours so we can complete blood work. Bring a list of all current medications, including supplements, and any recent lab results from other doctors. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a week before your visit. Wear comfortable clothing since we'll take measurements and possibly perform a body composition test. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations and be ready to discuss your goals honestly. We'll work together to create a plan that fits your lifestyle, but success requires commitment to following through with appointments and recommended changes.
