Our evidence-based approach combines physician oversight with registered dietitian support to ensure safe and effective weight reduction.

Prescription medications are additional costs that vary significantly based on the specific medication and your insurance coverage. We provide prior authorization assistance for covered medications.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather recent lab results, medication lists, and weight loss history to share with our medical team. Fast for 12 hours before initial lab work if requested. Come prepared to discuss your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and current eating patterns honestly. Bring a list of questions about the program and realistic timeline expectations.

Throughout your program, take medications exactly as prescribed and attend all scheduled appointments. Keep accurate food logs when requested and report any medication side effects immediately. Follow the meal plan and exercise recommendations provided by our team. Maintain open communication about challenges you're facing - we can only help if we know what obstacles you're encountering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will insurance cover my weight loss treatment?

Many insurance plans cover medical weight loss consultations, especially if you have obesity-related health conditions. Coverage varies by plan and specific services. We'll verify your benefits and help with prior authorizations when needed.

Are weight loss medications safe for long-term use?

When properly prescribed and monitored by physicians, weight loss medications can be safe for extended use. We conduct regular medical evaluations to monitor for side effects and adjust dosages as needed for optimal safety and effectiveness.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary significantly based on individual factors, but most clients lose 1-2 pounds per week initially. Those using prescription medications often see 5-15% of body weight lost within the first 6 months with continued progress thereafter.

What makes medical weight loss different from other programs?

Medical weight loss addresses underlying metabolic and hormonal factors that affect weight. We can prescribe medications, monitor lab values, and ensure safety for clients with health conditions - things commercial programs cannot offer.

Do you work with my other doctors?

Absolutely - we coordinate with your primary care physician and specialists to ensure your weight loss program complements your overall healthcare. We provide regular updates and communicate about medication interactions or health changes.

Can you help if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?

Yes, we specialize in weight loss for clients with medical conditions. Weight loss often improves these conditions, and we monitor your health closely throughout the process, coordinating with your other healthcare providers as needed.

How often will I need appointments?

Initially, appointments are typically weekly for the first month, then bi-weekly or monthly depending on your progress and needs. Clients on medications require more frequent monitoring for safety and dosage adjustments.
