We understand that successful weight loss often involves managing underlying health conditions and pain issues that can make exercise challenging. Our integrated approach means you'll receive coordinated care from medical professionals who communicate with each other about your progress. This collaborative model helps ensure that your weight loss plan works harmoniously with any other treatments you might need.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation that includes metabolic testing, review of current medications, and assessment of any pain or mobility issues. We'll discuss your weight loss history and identify potential barriers to success. Based on this assessment, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that might include medication management, nutritional counseling, and pain management strategies. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments. We coordinate with other specialists as needed and provide ongoing support through phone consultations and follow-up visits. Our integrated approach means all aspects of your care are communicated between providers.

Why Choose Total Care Family Center

What sets us apart is our integrated approach that addresses multiple health concerns simultaneously. Many weight loss clinics focus solely on diet and exercise, but we recognize that successful weight management often requires addressing pain, medication side effects, and other medical conditions that can interfere with traditional approaches. Our team's expertise in family medicine means we can monitor your overall health while you lose weight, ensuring that conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure are properly managed. We take insurance from most major providers, making our services accessible to more patients. Our collaborative approach means you won't need to coordinate between multiple providers - we handle that communication for you.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, for covered medical services. Many insurance plans cover weight management services when they're medically necessary, especially for patients with diabetes, hypertension, or other obesity-related conditions. We'll work with your insurance company to determine coverage for your specific treatment plan. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and can discuss payment plans when appropriate. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, with follow-up visits generally less expensive.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared for your first appointment with a list of current medications, any recent lab work, and a brief history of previous weight loss attempts. Be ready to discuss any pain or mobility issues that might affect your ability to exercise. We recommend keeping a food diary for a week before your visit to help us understand your current eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing as we may need to perform a physical examination. Bring your insurance card and a form of identification. Don't start any new diets or exercise programs before your consultation - we want to assess your current baseline. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations and be prepared to discuss your long-term health goals, not just weight loss numbers.
