Your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including detailed health history, physical examination, and laboratory testing. We assess your current health status, identify potential obstacles to weight loss, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your individual situation.

Treatment plans typically include prescription medication when appropriate, structured meal plans, and regular monitoring appointments. We schedule follow-up visits every 1-2 weeks initially, then monthly as you progress.

Why Choose Options Medical Weight Loss Clinic

Our 4.2-star rating reflects our commitment to providing quality medical care with personalized attention in a comfortable suburban setting. What sets Options Medical apart is our combination of proven medical treatments with comprehensive lifestyle coaching. We don't just prescribe medication and send you on your way - we provide the education, support, and tools needed for lasting success.

Our physicians have extensive experience in weight management and obesity medicine, ensuring you receive expert medical care throughout your journey. We maintain smaller patient loads to provide more personalized attention and longer appointment times when needed. Our success lies in treating weight loss as a medical condition requiring ongoing management rather than a temporary diet program.

Insurance & Pricing

Many of our medical weight loss services are covered by insurance, especially when treating obesity-related health conditions. We accept most major insurance plans and provide necessary documentation for potential reimbursement of uncovered services. Initial consultations typically range from $200-$300, with follow-up visits costing $75-$150 depending on services provided. Prescription medications vary in cost depending on insurance coverage and specific medications prescribed. We work with patients to find cost-effective medication options and provide information about manufacturer discount programs when available. Payment plans are available for patients paying out-of-pocket.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before starting your program, gather information about your weight history, previous diet attempts, current medications, and any medical conditions. Complete any required lab work promptly to avoid delays in starting treatment. Set realistic short-term and long-term goals, understanding that healthy weight loss occurs at 1-2 pounds per week.

During treatment, take medications exactly as prescribed and attend all scheduled appointments. Keep detailed food logs and track your progress beyond just the scale weight. Communicate openly about challenges you're facing, whether physical, emotional, or practical. After reaching your goal weight, transition to our maintenance program to prevent weight regain. Remember that weight management is a lifelong process requiring ongoing attention and periodic adjustments to your plan.
