What to Expect

Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive medical history review, physical examination, and discussion of your weight loss goals and previous experiences. We'll order appropriate lab work and may recommend additional testing such as sleep studies or cardiac evaluations based on your individual needs. Following this assessment, we'll present you with a customized treatment plan that may include medical interventions, dietary modifications, exercise prescriptions, and behavioral support.

We schedule follow-up appointments based on your treatment plan, typically every 2-3 weeks initially. During these visits, we'll monitor your progress, adjust medications if needed, and provide ongoing education and support. Our goal is to help you develop sustainable habits that will support long-term weight maintenance.

Why Choose O'Connor Health Center

O'Connor Health Center stands out for our patient-centered approach and impressive track record of success. Our 4.5-star rating reflects our commitment to excellence and patient satisfaction. We take pride in creating individualized treatment plans rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Our physicians have advanced training in obesity medicine and participate in ongoing professional development to stay at the forefront of weight management techniques.

What truly distinguishes us is our comprehensive support system. From your initial consultation through long-term maintenance, you'll have access to a full team of specialists including physicians, dietitians, and behavioral counselors. We understand that sustainable weight loss requires addressing multiple factors, and we're equipped to support you every step of the way. Our patients consistently report high satisfaction with both their results and their overall experience.

Insurance & Pricing

We're in-network with most major insurance providers including Kaiser Permanente, Blue Cross, Anthem, and UnitedHealthcare. Many insurance plans now recognize obesity as a medical condition and provide coverage for medically supervised weight loss programs. Our insurance specialists will verify your specific benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment.

For patients without insurance coverage or those choosing to self-pay, we offer transparent pricing and payment plan options. Our comprehensive programs range from $200-400 per month depending on services included. We believe effective weight management should be accessible and work with patients to find financially feasible solutions.

First-Time Patient Tips

Prior to your appointment, please complete our online health questionnaire and gather any recent medical records, lab results, and a list of current medications. We encourage patients to start tracking their food intake and physical activity for at least one week before their visit. This information helps us better understand your current habits and develop more effective recommendations.

Plan to spend about 90 minutes for your initial consultation. Wear comfortable clothing as we'll be taking measurements and may perform basic fitness assessments. Consider bringing a trusted friend or family member for support, especially if you think they might help with accountability. Most importantly, come with an open mind and realistic expectations about the time and effort required for successful weight loss.
