About PrimeMed
PrimeMed in Jacksonville combines comprehensive weight loss services with family practice and physical therapy to offer a holistic approach to health and wellness. Our experienced medical team understands that sustainable weight loss requires more than just diet advice - it needs a complete understanding of your unique health profile, lifestyle, and physical capabilities.
We've built our practice around the belief that lasting weight management success comes from addressing the whole person. By integrating weight loss services with primary care and rehabilitation medicine, we can identify and treat underlying health issues that may be hindering your progress while developing a personalized plan that fits your life.
Services Offered
Our weight loss program starts with a comprehensive medical evaluation that examines your metabolic health, hormone levels, and any underlying conditions affecting your weight. We offer medically supervised weight loss plans, prescription weight management medications when appropriate, and nutritional counseling tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Our physical therapy services complement weight loss efforts by addressing mobility issues, creating safe exercise programs for those with injuries or limitations, and helping prevent workout-related injuries. We also provide ongoing family practice care to monitor your overall health throughout your weight loss journey. This integrated approach means you can address related health concerns like diabetes, high blood pressure, or joint pain while working toward your weight goals. Our team includes registered dietitians, physical therapists, and medical doctors who work together to ensure your success. Regular follow-ups and progress monitoring help keep you accountable and allow us to adjust your plan as needed.

Why Choose PrimeMed
What sets PrimeMed apart is our unique combination of services under one roof. Instead of bouncing between different specialists, you get comprehensive care from a coordinated team that communicates regularly about your progress. Our medical doctors can prescribe weight loss medications and monitor for side effects, while our physical therapists ensure you're exercising safely and effectively. This integration is especially valuable for patients with complex health conditions who need careful monitoring. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches - every plan is customized based on your medical history, current health status, and personal preferences. Our long-term focus means we're here to support you not just during initial weight loss, but in maintaining your results over time.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Medicare for covered medical services. Weight loss programs typically range from $200-500 per month depending on the level of supervision and services included. Physical therapy sessions are often covered by insurance when medically necessary. We offer package pricing for comprehensive programs and can discuss payment plans for those who qualify. Insurance coverage varies, so we'll verify your benefits and explain costs upfront.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared for your initial consultation with a list of current medications, recent lab results if available, and a food diary from the past week. Wear comfortable clothing that allows for a physical assessment. We recommend bringing a support person to your first visit to help you remember important information and ask questions. Don't start any extreme diets before your appointment - we want to see your current patterns. Be honest about your eating habits, previous weight loss attempts, and any challenges you're facing. This information helps us create the most effective plan for your situation.
