Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral from my doctor to start treatment?

No referral is required. You can schedule directly with us for your initial consultation. However, we encourage you to let your primary care physician know about your weight loss plans so we can coordinate care effectively.

How much weight can I expect to lose in the first month?

Most patients lose 8-15 pounds in their first month, depending on their starting weight and treatment plan. We focus on safe, sustainable weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week rather than rapid results that won't last.

Will I have to follow a specific diet plan?

We'll provide personalized nutritional guidelines based on your preferences, medical needs, and lifestyle. Our dietitians work with you to create sustainable eating patterns rather than restrictive diets that are hard to maintain long-term.

What weight loss medications do you prescribe?

We may prescribe FDA-approved medications like semaglutide, liraglutide, or phentermine when medically appropriate. The choice depends on your health profile, weight loss goals, and how you respond to treatment.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, we'll see you every 2-4 weeks to monitor progress and adjust your plan. As you become more established, visits may space out to monthly or even quarterly check-ins.

Do you provide support for weight maintenance after I reach my goal?

Absolutely. We offer long-term maintenance programs to help you keep the weight off permanently. Studies show that ongoing medical support significantly improves long-term success rates.

Can you help if I have diabetes or other health conditions?

Yes, we specialize in treating patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other obesity-related conditions. Weight loss often improves these conditions significantly.

What makes your program different from commercial weight loss companies?

As medical professionals, we can prescribe medications, order lab tests, and treat underlying conditions that commercial programs cannot address. We take a comprehensive medical approach to weight management.
