We'll conduct laboratory tests to assess metabolic function, hormone levels, and other factors that might be affecting your weight. Based on these results, we'll develop a personalized medical weight loss plan that may include prescription medications, nutritional counseling, and treatment of underlying health conditions. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and provide ongoing medical supervision. We coordinate with other members of our medical team and can refer to specialists when additional care is needed.

As a full medical practice, we can provide continuity of care and coordinate all aspects of your health.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, and many weight loss services are covered when medically necessary. Office visits for medical weight management typically have standard copays similar to other medical appointments. Nutritional counseling may be covered for patients with diabetes or other qualifying conditions. Prescription medications are subject to your pharmacy benefits. We'll work with your insurance company to maximize coverage and can provide documentation for medical necessity when needed. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and payment plan options.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather information about your weight history, previous diet attempts, current medications, and any symptoms you've been experiencing that might be related to your weight or metabolism. It's helpful to bring recent lab results if you have them, or we can order appropriate tests. Fast for 8-12 hours before your visit if we're planning to do metabolic testing. Bring a list of questions or concerns you'd like to discuss. Plan for about 60 minutes for your initial consultation and examination. Come prepared to discuss your medical history honestly, including any eating behaviors or symptoms you might feel embarrassed about - we're here to help, not judge.
