What to Expect

This may include prescription weight loss medications, specific dietary protocols, and exercise recommendations.
Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress, adjust medications if needed, and address any challenges you're experiencing. Our health coaches provide additional support between medical visits, helping you stay on track and overcome obstacles. We track multiple markers of success beyond just weight loss, including improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and overall well-being.
Why Choose Options Medical Weight Loss Clinic

Our evidence-based approach is grounded in the latest weight management research and clinical guidelines. We focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than temporary restrictions. Many clients appreciate having both medical oversight and practical coaching to help them navigate real-world challenges.
Insurance & Pricing
Many insurance plans cover medical weight loss consultations, especially when obesity is contributing to other health conditions. We'll verify your benefits and help with prior authorization for covered services. Program costs typically range from $200-400 per month depending on the level of medical supervision and coaching included. Initial consultations are usually covered by insurance with appropriate referrals.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared with a complete list of current medications, recent lab results if available, and information about any health conditions you're managing. Be honest about previous weight loss attempts and what challenges you've faced. We need to understand your lifestyle, work schedule, and family situation to create a realistic plan.
Success requires commitment to following the medical and nutritional recommendations and attending regular appointments. Most clients find our structured approach helpful, but it does require lifestyle changes and ongoing effort. Expect regular monitoring of your progress and be prepared to make adjustments to your plan as needed.
