We've been serving the Raleigh community for over a decade, helping thousands of patients lose weight safely and effectively. Our programs are built on proven medical principles, incorporating the latest research in metabolism, nutrition science, and behavior modification. We understand that weight loss isn't just about diet and exercise, but requires a comprehensive approach addressing medical, psychological, and lifestyle factors.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive weight loss services include initial medical evaluations, customized meal planning, prescription appetite suppressants when appropriate, and ongoing medical monitoring. We offer both traditional calorie-restricted programs and specialized protocols like HCG therapy and ketogenic diet plans. Our registered dietitians provide detailed nutritional counseling, teaching patients about portion control, meal timing, and food choices that support long-term success. We conduct regular body composition analysis, metabolic rate testing, and lab work to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans. Behavioral counseling helps patients identify and overcome eating triggers, emotional eating patterns, and lifestyle barriers to success. We also provide group support sessions, cooking classes, and maintenance programs to help patients sustain their weight loss long-term. Our medical staff can adjust medications and coordinate care with primary physicians to ensure safe, effective treatment for patients with diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic conditions.

Why Choose Physicians WEIGHT LOSS Centers
Our medical supervision sets us apart from commercial weight loss programs, allowing us to safely prescribe medications and monitor patients with complex health conditions. Our physician-led approach ensures that weight loss is achieved without compromising existing health conditions or interfering with current medications. We've helped patients lose significant weight even when previous attempts had failed due to metabolic or medical barriers.
Our comprehensive approach addresses not just the physical aspects of weight loss but also the psychological and behavioral factors that contribute to long-term success. Unlike quick-fix solutions, we focus on sustainable lifestyle changes that patients can maintain for life. Our team's medical expertise allows us to identify and treat underlying conditions like insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances that may be hindering weight loss efforts.
Insurance & Pricing
Most insurance plans don't cover weight loss programs, but we do accept insurance for medical consultations and lab work when weight loss is medically necessary. Our program fees start at $199 for the initial consultation and $99-149 for follow-up visits. Monthly program packages range from $299-499 depending on the level of medical supervision and services included. We accept cash, credit cards, and HSA/FSA payments. Payment plans are available for qualified patients, and we offer family discounts for multiple participants.
First-Time Patient Tips
Bring a complete list of current medications, recent lab results if available, and medical records related to previous weight loss attempts or relevant health conditions. Wear comfortable clothing and avoid heavy meals before your appointment since we'll be conducting measurements and possibly lab work.
Be prepared to discuss your weight history honestly, including previous dieting attempts, eating patterns, exercise habits, and any family history of obesity or related conditions. Our initial consultation takes about 60 minutes and includes medical screening, body composition testing, and development of your personalized treatment plan. Follow-up appointments are typically 15-30 minutes and focus on progress monitoring and program adjustments.
