New Dawn Medical
Weight Loss Clinic in Wichita, Kansas
About New Dawn Medical
New Dawn Medical represents a fresh approach to weight loss medicine in Wichita, combining the latest medical advances with compassionate care. Founded by Dr. Sarah Chen in 2020, our practice emerged from the recognition that traditional weight loss methods often fail because they ignore the complex medical factors that contribute to obesity.
We specialize in identifying and treating the root causes of weight gain, including hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and medication-related weight gain. Our evidence-based approach has helped hundreds of Wichita residents achieve lasting weight loss success.
Services Offered
Our medical weight loss services begin with comprehensive metabolic testing, including detailed hormone panels, insulin resistance screening, and thyroid function assessment. We use state-of-the-art body composition analysis to track fat loss versus muscle preservation throughout your journey. Treatment options include FDA-approved weight loss medications, vitamin B12 and lipotropic injections, and customized hormone replacement therapy when indicated. Our registered nurse provides regular monitoring and support, while our nutritionist helps translate medical recommendations into practical meal planning. We also offer group education sessions on topics like reading nutrition labels, meal prep strategies, and dining out while losing weight. Advanced treatments include peptide therapy and metabolic reset programs for clients with significant insulin resistance.
Treatment Options
Medical Weight Loss Program
Comprehensive program including medical evaluation, prescription medications, regular monitoring, and nutritional counseling with monthly physician visits.
Hormone Optimization
Targeted treatment for hormone-related weight gain including thyroid optimization, testosterone replacement, or insulin sensitivity improvement.
Metabolic Reset Protocol
Intensive program using prescription medications and supplements to reset insulin sensitivity and metabolic function in clients with severe insulin resistance.
Injection Therapy
Weekly lipotropic and B12 injections to support fat metabolism and energy levels, combined with basic nutritional guidance.
What to Expect
New patients undergo a thorough medical evaluation including comprehensive lab work to identify any underlying conditions affecting weight loss. This initial visit takes about 2 hours and includes detailed discussion of your medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts.
Based on lab results and assessment findings, we develop a medical treatment plan that may include prescription medications, nutritional supplements, or hormone optimization. Follow-up visits occur every 2-4 weeks initially, with longer intervals as you progress. We track not just weight loss but improvements in metabolic markers like blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure.
Why Choose New Dawn Medical
As a medical practice, we can address weight loss from angles that non-medical programs simply can't. We're equipped to handle complex cases involving multiple health conditions and can prescribe medications that significantly enhance weight loss results when used appropriately.
Our success rates are impressive - clients typically lose 15-20% of their starting weight within the first year. More importantly, we address the medical factors that caused weight gain in the first place, leading to better long-term maintenance of weight loss.
Insurance & Pricing
We're in-network with major Kansas health plans including BCBS Kansas, Coventry, and Humana. Many insurance plans now cover obesity medicine visits and some cover prescription weight loss medications. We provide prior authorization support for covered medications.
Self-pay options start at $200 for initial consultation and $100 for follow-up visits. Injection services and specialized treatments are priced separately. We offer interest-free payment plans for longer treatment programs.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your appointment, stop any over-the-counter weight loss supplements for at least one week, as these can interfere with accurate assessment. Bring a complete list of all medications, including dosages, and any recent medical records or lab results from other providers.
Fasting is required for accurate metabolic testing - no food or drinks except water for 12 hours before your appointment. Plan to spend 2-3 hours at your initial visit. It's important to have realistic expectations about timeline - medical weight loss is steady but not rapid, with most significant results visible after 3-6 months of treatment.
