Services Offered

We provide comprehensive medical weight loss programs tailored to your specific needs. Our services include initial metabolic assessments, customized meal planning, prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, and regular progress monitoring. We offer nutrition counseling sessions that teach you how to make sustainable dietary choices. Our team also provides behavioral coaching to address the psychological aspects of weight loss. We incorporate exercise recommendations based on your fitness level and preferences.

Your journey starts with a detailed consultation where we review your medical history, current medications, and past weight loss attempts. We'll order lab work to assess your metabolic health. Once results are in, we develop your personalized plan, which might include prescription medications, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. You'll meet regularly with our team, initially monthly, then quarterly as you stabilize. We track your progress through body composition analysis, not just scale weight. Between appointments, you have access to our patient portal and can contact our team with questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to take prescription weight loss medication?

Not necessarily. We first evaluate whether medication is appropriate for your situation. Some patients do great with diet and lifestyle changes alone. We'll discuss the pros and cons and only recommend medications if we think they'll help you succeed.

How much weight can I realistically expect to lose?

This varies significantly based on your starting point, metabolism, and commitment level. Most patients lose 1-2 pounds per week on our program. We focus on sustainable loss rather than rapid drops that often return.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We transition you to a maintenance program where we help you keep the weight off. Many patients need ongoing support to prevent regain. We adjust your plan to focus on lifestyle maintenance rather than continued weight loss.

Do you work with people who have medical conditions?

Yes, we have experience with diabetes, thyroid issues, PCOS, and other conditions. We coordinate with your other doctors and adjust recommendations accordingly. This is actually why medical supervision matters.

Can I do this program if I'm breastfeeding or pregnant?

We don't recommend active weight loss during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We can help you prepare before pregnancy or after you've stopped breastfeeding. We'll discuss safe options during your consultation.

What if I have a history of eating disorders?

We take this seriously and may recommend working with a mental health professional alongside our program. Our approach focuses on sustainable habits and health, not restriction, which is often safer for those with this history.

How often do I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, monthly visits are standard. Once you're stable and making progress, we often stretch to every 6-8 weeks. Telehealth options can reduce how often you need to come to the office.

Does insurance cover your services?

Many insurances do cover weight loss treatment, though benefits vary widely. We'll verify your coverage before you start. Some people use HSA or flex spending accounts to pay for services.
