About Spring Medical Clinic

Spring Medical Clinic has been West Sacramento's trusted partner for medical weight loss since 2010. Our clinic takes a compassionate, science-based approach to help you achieve lasting weight loss while improving your overall health. We understand that every patient's journey is unique, which is why we create personalized treatment plans that work with your lifestyle, not against it.

Our team of experienced healthcare professionals includes board-certified physicians, registered dietitians, and certified wellness coaches who work together to address the root causes of weight gain. We're committed to helping you develop sustainable habits that will keep the weight off for good, rather than promoting quick fixes that don't last.

Our medical weight management programs include thorough health screenings, metabolic assessments, and FDA-approved prescription medications when medically appropriate.

What to Expect

Your weight loss journey at Spring Medical Clinic begins with a comprehensive 60-minute consultation where we discuss your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and personal goals. We'll perform a physical exam, review any existing lab work, and may order additional tests to assess your metabolic health and identify any underlying conditions affecting your weight.

Based on this initial assessment, we'll create a customized treatment plan that may include medical interventions, dietary modifications, and behavioral strategies. Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled every two weeks for the first month, then monthly thereafter. Between visits, our team is available for questions and support through secure messaging. We track your progress through regular weigh-ins, body measurements, and periodic lab work to ensure your plan is working effectively and safely.

Why Choose Spring Medical Clinic

What makes Spring Medical Clinic different is our genuine commitment to your long-term success. Unlike commercial weight loss programs that rely on expensive meal replacements or restrictive eating plans, we focus on teaching you practical skills you can use for life. Our success rates speak for themselves - 85% of our patients lose at least 5% of their body weight within three months, and 75% maintain significant weight loss at one year.

Our small clinic atmosphere means you'll never feel like just another number. You'll see the same healthcare providers at each visit, allowing us to build a true partnership in your health journey. We also pride ourselves on being accessible - our staff responds to patient questions within 24 hours, and we offer same-day appointments for urgent concerns related to your weight loss program.

Insurance & Pricing

We're in-network with most major insurance plans including Blue Cross, Anthem, Health Net, and Medicare. Many insurance companies now recognize the medical necessity of physician-supervised weight loss programs and provide coverage, especially when obesity-related health conditions are present. Our insurance specialists will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before you begin treatment.

For patients without insurance or those with high deductibles, we offer competitive self-pay rates. Initial consultations are $250, with follow-up visits at $125. We also offer 6-month package deals that can reduce your overall costs. Payment plans are available for qualifying patients.

First-Time Patient Tips

To get the most out of your first visit, please bring a complete list of current medications, any recent lab results, and information about previous weight loss attempts. We recommend downloading a food tracking app and logging your meals for at least a week before your appointment - this helps us understand your current eating patterns. Don't try to change your habits before the visit; we want to see your baseline.

Come prepared with specific questions about your health concerns and weight loss goals. Be honest about your lifestyle, including work schedule, family obligations, and any barriers you've faced in the past. Wear comfortable clothing for your physical exam and measurements. Most importantly, approach your visit with realistic expectations and an open mind about making gradual, sustainable changes rather than dramatic overnight transformations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your approach different from commercial weight loss programs?

We focus on medical evaluation and addressing underlying health issues that may be preventing weight loss. Our approach is individualized based on your unique medical needs rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

New patient appointments are typically available within 1-2 weeks. We reserve time slots specifically for new patients to ensure you can start your journey promptly.

Will I need to buy special foods or supplements?

No, our programs focus on teaching you how to make healthy choices with regular grocery store foods. We don't sell supplements or meal replacements, keeping your costs down while teaching sustainable habits.

Can you help if I've failed at other weight loss programs?

Absolutely - many of our most successful patients have tried other programs without lasting results. We focus on identifying why previous attempts didn't work and address those specific barriers.

Do you treat teenagers or only adults?

We primarily treat adults 18 and older. For adolescents, we can provide referrals to pediatric weight management specialists who are better equipped to address the unique needs of growing teenagers.

What lab tests might be needed?

Common tests include thyroid function, blood sugar levels, cholesterol panel, and vitamin levels. The specific tests depend on your symptoms, medical history, and physical exam findings.

How do you help prevent weight regain after I reach my goal?

Our maintenance program includes regular check-ins, ongoing support, and strategies for handling common challenges like holidays, stress, and life changes. Long-term success is our primary focus.

Can I continue seeing my regular doctor while in your program?

Yes, we encourage coordination with your primary care physician. We'll send regular updates about your progress and any medication changes to ensure continuity of care.
