About Spring Medical Clinic

Spring Medical Clinic's Sacramento location has been helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss through evidence-based medical interventions since 2012. Our experienced team understands that successful weight management requires more than willpower - it requires a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic, hormonal, and psychological factors that contribute to weight gain and make weight loss challenging.

We pride ourselves on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their struggles with weight and health. Our approach combines the latest advances in weight loss medicine with time-tested lifestyle modification techniques to help you achieve lasting results. Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs, medical conditions, and personal preferences.

Services Offered

Our Sacramento clinic offers a full range of medical weight loss services designed to address both the physical and behavioral aspects of weight management. We start with comprehensive medical evaluations including detailed lab work to identify any underlying conditions that might be affecting your weight, such as insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances. Our physician-supervised programs may include FDA-approved weight loss medications, which are carefully monitored for safety and effectiveness. We provide detailed nutritional counseling that goes beyond simple calorie counting to address meal timing, food quality, and eating behaviors. Our behavioral health services help identify emotional eating patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. We also offer medical monitoring for patients with obesity-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, ensuring that weight loss improves rather than complicates existing health issues. For patients who have undergone or are considering bariatric surgery, we provide pre- and post-operative support to optimize outcomes. All of our services are backed by regular follow-up appointments and 24/7 access to medical support when needed.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a thorough initial consultation lasting approximately 90 minutes. During this visit, we'll review your complete medical history, perform a physical examination, and discuss your weight loss goals and previous attempts. We'll also order comprehensive lab work to assess your metabolic health and identify any underlying conditions. Based on this information, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medical interventions, dietary modifications, and behavioral strategies.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly - typically every 2-3 weeks initially, then monthly as you progress. These visits allow us to monitor your progress, adjust treatments as needed, and provide ongoing support and education. We also offer virtual check-ins between appointments and have a patient portal where you can track your progress, ask questions, and access educational resources.

Why Choose Spring Medical Clinic

Spring Medical Clinic Sacramento stands out for our commitment to evidence-based medicine combined with compassionate, individualized care. Our success rates are impressive - over 90% of our patients lose at least 5% of their body weight within the first three months, and 80% maintain significant weight loss at one year. We achieve these results through careful patient selection, thorough medical evaluation, and ongoing support.

What truly sets us apart is our focus on treating the whole person, not just the number on the scale. We address underlying medical conditions, provide mental health support, and teach practical skills for long-term success. Our patients consistently report not just weight loss, but improvements in energy, mood, sleep quality, and overall quality of life.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans and are considered in-network providers for Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Many insurance plans now provide coverage for medically supervised weight loss programs, particularly when there are documented obesity-related health conditions. Our experienced billing team will verify your insurance benefits and explain your coverage options during your first visit.

For patients without insurance coverage, we offer transparent, competitive pricing. Initial comprehensive evaluations range from $275-350, and follow-up visits are typically $125-175. We also offer package programs that can provide significant cost savings for patients committed to completing our full program. Payment plans are available for qualifying patients.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, we encourage you to gather all relevant medical records, including recent lab results and medication lists. It's helpful to track your food intake for at least a week using a smartphone app or journal - this gives us valuable insight into your current eating patterns. Don't worry about eating perfectly during this time; we want to see your typical habits.

Come to your appointment prepared to discuss your weight history honestly, including what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. Bring comfortable clothes for your physical exam and be prepared for a lengthy initial visit. We'll cover a lot of ground during your first appointment, so don't hesitate to bring a list of questions. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations about the timeline for weight loss - sustainable results take time, but the changes you make will last.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your medical approach different from other weight loss programs?

We focus on identifying and treating underlying medical causes of weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic disorders. This medical foundation often explains why previous weight loss attempts have failed.

Do you prescribe the newer weight loss injections like Ozempic or Wegovy?

Yes, our physicians are experienced with GLP-1 receptor agonists and other FDA-approved weight loss medications. We'll determine if these treatments are appropriate based on your individual medical evaluation.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your initial consultation will last about 90 minutes and include a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and discussion of your goals. We'll also order lab work and begin developing your personalized treatment plan.

How much weight loss can I realistically expect?

Most patients lose 1-2 pounds per week initially, with many achieving 5-10% of their body weight within 3-6 months. Results vary based on starting weight, medical conditions, and adherence to the program.

Will you coordinate with my other doctors?

Absolutely - we believe in collaborative care and will communicate with your primary care physician and specialists about your progress. This ensures all your healthcare providers are aligned with your weight loss goals.

What happens if I experience side effects from weight loss medications?

We monitor all patients closely and are experienced in managing side effects. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but we'll adjust or change medications if needed to ensure your comfort and safety.

Do you offer support groups or group classes?

We periodically offer educational workshops and support groups for our patients. We've found that peer support can be incredibly valuable in maintaining motivation and sharing practical tips.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for medical weight loss?

Generally, patients with a BMI over 30 or over 27 with obesity-related health conditions are good candidates. We'll evaluate your individual situation during your consultation to determine the best approach.
