Frequently Asked Questions

What medical conditions do you treat alongside weight loss?

I treat obesity-related conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and metabolic syndrome. My approach addresses both weight reduction and management of these associated health problems simultaneously.

Do you prescribe the new weight loss medications?

Yes, I prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications including semaglutide and tirzepatide when medically appropriate. I evaluate each patient carefully to determine the best medication option based on their health profile and goals.

Is medical weight loss covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover obesity treatment, especially when you have weight-related health conditions. My staff will check your coverage and help with prior authorization requirements for both visits and medications.

How is this different from commercial weight loss programs?

Medical weight loss provides physician supervision, prescription medications, and treatment of underlying health conditions. This approach is safer and more effective for people with significant weight to lose or medical complications.

What happens if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?

I work with patients who have various dietary restrictions, food allergies, and cultural preferences. Treatment plans are customized to accommodate your specific needs while ensuring nutritional adequacy and weight loss effectiveness.

How often will I need appointments?

Initially, you'll need monthly visits for monitoring and medication adjustments. As you stabilize, appointments may be every 6-8 weeks. Patients on certain medications require more frequent monitoring for safety.

Can you help if I've failed other weight loss attempts?

Absolutely - many of my patients have struggled with previous diet attempts. Medical weight loss addresses underlying metabolic and hormonal factors that often make weight loss difficult without medical intervention.

What lab tests are needed?

Initial testing typically includes comprehensive metabolic panel, thyroid function, lipid profile, and diabetes screening. Additional tests may be ordered based on your health history and symptoms to identify any underlying conditions affecting weight.
