Services Offered
Our weight loss services encompass medical evaluations, prescription weight management medications, nutritional counseling, and behavioral modification programs. We start with comprehensive metabolic testing to identify underlying factors that may be affecting your weight, including thyroid function, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances. Our medical team can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate, always with careful monitoring and follow-up care. We offer both individual and group nutrition sessions led by registered dietitians who specialize in sustainable lifestyle changes. Our behavioral therapy component helps patients identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build confidence. We also provide body composition analysis using state-of-the-art equipment to track progress beyond just the scale. Monthly support groups and maintenance programs help ensure long-term success after initial weight loss goals are achieved.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation, including detailed health history, physical exam, and laboratory testing. We assess your current medications, medical conditions, and previous weight loss attempts to create a personalized treatment plan. Week two involves meeting with our registered dietitian to develop a sustainable nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences.
Ongoing appointments are scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially, then monthly as you progress. Each visit includes weight and body composition monitoring, medication adjustments if needed, and one-on-one coaching. We track your progress using multiple metrics beyond weight, including energy levels, sleep quality, and health markers. Our team remains accessible between visits for questions or support.

Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Kaiser Permanente, and Medicare. Insurance coverage varies by plan, but many policies cover medically necessary weight loss treatments, especially when obesity-related conditions are present. We provide detailed documentation to support insurance claims and help patients understand their benefits.
For uninsured patients, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans. Initial consultations start at $200, with follow-up visits typically $100-150. Prescription medications and supplements are additional costs that vary based on individual needs. We're transparent about all fees upfront.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first visit, gather your medical records, current medications list, and any previous weight loss attempts. We recommend keeping a food diary for at least three days to help our dietitian understand your eating patterns. Come prepared to discuss your goals honestly and any challenges you've faced in the past.
During treatment, consistency with appointments and following your personalized plan are crucial for success. Don't hesitate to contact us between visits if you have concerns or questions. Many patients find joining our support groups helpful for motivation and accountability. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time - we typically see significant results within 3-6 months with continued improvement over the first year.
