Initial specialty consultations range from $300-450, with follow-up visits priced at $175-275 depending on complexity. Allergy testing and hormone panels are typically covered by insurance when medically necessary. We provide detailed cost estimates before treatment and assist with insurance pre-authorizations. Payment plans are available for patients requiring extensive testing or cash-pay services.

First-Time Patient Tips

Prepare for your initial consultation by gathering complete medical records, current medication lists, and any previous hormone or allergy testing results. Keep a detailed symptom diary for two weeks before your appointment, noting energy levels, food intake, and any allergic reactions. Bring a comprehensive family medical history, particularly regarding diabetes, thyroid disease, and allergies. Fast for 12 hours before your appointment if blood work is scheduled. Wear comfortable clothing for physical examination and measurements. Plan for your initial visit to take 2-3 hours if multiple specialists are involved. Be prepared to discuss your complete health history honestly and ask questions about recommended testing and treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to see all three specialists for weight loss treatment?

Not necessarily. We determine which specialists you need based on your symptoms and medical history during your initial evaluation. Some patients benefit from all three, while others may only need one or two specialties.

How do you coordinate care between different specialists?

Our team meets regularly to discuss complex cases and shares electronic medical records. Your treatment plan is developed collaboratively to ensure all specialists are working toward the same goals.

Can food allergies really affect weight loss?

Yes, food allergies and sensitivities can cause inflammation, digestive issues, and metabolic changes that make weight loss difficult. Identifying and eliminating problematic foods often improves weight loss success.

What hormone testing do you perform?

We test thyroid function, insulin levels, cortisol, sex hormones, and other relevant markers based on your symptoms. Comprehensive hormone panels help identify imbalances affecting weight and metabolism.

Do you treat diabetes along with weight management?

Absolutely. Our endocrinologists specialize in diabetes management, and weight loss often significantly improves blood sugar control. We coordinate diabetes treatment with weight management strategies.

How long does the initial evaluation process take?

Initial evaluation typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on which specialists you need to see and what testing is required. We try to coordinate appointments efficiently to minimize multiple trips.

Can you help with menopause-related weight gain?

Yes, we specialize in hormone-related weight changes including menopause. Our endocrinologists can evaluate hormone replacement therapy options while our weight management team addresses metabolic changes.

What makes your approach different from regular weight loss clinics?

We address underlying medical conditions that may be preventing weight loss success, including hormonal imbalances and food sensitivities. This comprehensive approach often helps patients who have failed with traditional diet programs.
