Our clinic focuses exclusively on helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss through comprehensive medical evaluation and individualized treatment plans.

We pride ourselves on taking the time to understand each patient's unique situation, health history, and goals to create effective, long-lasting solutions that go far beyond temporary diet fixes.

Services Offered

Our services include body composition analysis to track changes in muscle mass and fat percentage rather than focusing solely on scale weight. We also offer specialized programs for patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and other conditions that complicate weight management. Additionally, we provide long-term maintenance support to help patients sustain their results after reaching their goals.

What to Expect

Your journey at Summit Health Clinic begins with a comprehensive medical consultation where we review your complete health history, previous weight loss attempts, medications, and current symptoms. We conduct thorough physical examinations and order appropriate laboratory tests to assess hormone levels, metabolic function, and nutritional status. Based on these results, our physicians develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medical interventions, dietary modifications, exercise recommendations, and behavioral support strategies. Throughout your program, you'll have regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress, adjust medications if needed, and address any challenges. We typically schedule appointments every 2-4 weeks initially, then adjust frequency based on your individual needs and progress. Our team provides ongoing support and guidance to help you navigate obstacles and maintain motivation throughout your weight loss journey.

Why Choose Summit Health Clinic

Summit Health Clinic's perfect 5-star rating reflects our unwavering commitment to patient success and satisfaction. Unlike commercial weight loss programs, we provide genuine medical expertise with physicians who understand the complex factors affecting weight management. Our individualized approach means every treatment plan is unique to your specific health needs and circumstances. We don't rely on gimmicks or quick fixes; instead, we use proven medical interventions and evidence-based strategies. Our focus on underlying health conditions sets us apart - we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. Patients choose us because we provide the medical supervision and expertise necessary for safe, effective, and sustainable weight loss, especially for those with complex health issues that require specialized care.

Insurance & Pricing

We work with most major insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your first appointment. Many of our medical services, including consultations and laboratory testing, are often covered by insurance when medically necessary. Weight loss program fees typically range from $200-350 per month depending on the complexity of your treatment plan and required services. We provide transparent pricing during your initial consultation and offer payment plans when needed. Our comprehensive approach often proves more cost-effective than seeking medical weight loss services at multiple locations, and the long-term health benefits often result in reduced medical costs over time.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, compile a comprehensive list of all medications, supplements, and vitamins you're currently taking. Gather any recent lab work or medical records related to your weight or metabolic health from other providers. We recommend keeping a food diary for one week prior to your visit to help our team understand your current eating patterns. Come prepared to discuss your weight history, previous diet attempts, family history, and specific health concerns. During your visit, don't hesitate to ask questions about treatment options, potential side effects, or any concerns you may have. Our team is committed to ensuring you fully understand your treatment plan and feel confident moving forward. We encourage patients to bring a support person to their initial consultation if that would be helpful.
