What to Expect

Your weight loss journey starts with a comprehensive family medicine evaluation that examines not just your weight, but your overall health picture. We review medical history, current medications, hormone levels, and any underlying conditions that might affect weight loss. Laboratory testing helps us identify nutritional deficiencies or metabolic issues.

We then create an integrated treatment plan that may include prescription medications, nutritional supplementation, IV hydration therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Regular follow-ups monitor both weight loss progress and overall health improvements. Our family practice model means we can adjust medications, address new health concerns, and provide comprehensive care throughout your weight loss journey.

Why Choose Vanderbilt Wellness

Our unique combination of family medicine, weight loss expertise, and IV hydration therapy provides a level of comprehensive care you won't find at typical weight loss clinics. Having your weight management integrated with your primary healthcare means better coordination, fewer appointments, and more thorough monitoring of your overall health.

Our medical background allows us to safely manage weight loss in patients with complex health conditions that might exclude them from other programs. We can prescribe and monitor medications, address hormonal imbalances, and ensure your weight loss doesn't negatively impact other health conditions. This integrated approach often leads to improvements not just in weight, but in overall health markers and quality of life.

Insurance & Pricing

As a family practice, many of our services may be covered by your health insurance, particularly when weight loss is medically necessary. We accept most major insurance plans and will verify coverage for your specific needs. IV hydration and some specialized weight loss services may be self-pay, but we offer competitive pricing and package deals. We'll provide clear cost estimates upfront and work with you to create an affordable treatment plan that fits your budget while addressing your health needs.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared with a complete list of current medications, supplements, and any recent lab results. We recommend keeping a food and symptom diary for a week before your visit to help us understand patterns between your diet, energy levels, and overall health.

Success in our program requires commitment to regular appointments and following through with recommended lifestyle changes. Because we're also your healthcare provider, it's important to communicate openly about any health changes or concerns during your weight loss journey. We encourage you to view this as a comprehensive health improvement process, not just weight loss. The habits and health improvements you make will benefit you far beyond reaching your goal weight.

Yes, our family practice model means we can continue managing diabetes, blood pressure, and other conditions while you lose weight. We'll adjust medications as needed and monitor how weight loss affects your overall health.

Do you prescribe weight loss medications?

As medical doctors, we can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate for your health profile. We'll discuss all options and monitor you carefully if medications are part of your plan.

How often do I need IV treatments?

Most patients benefit from weekly IV sessions initially, then may transition to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance sessions. The frequency depends on your individual response and weight loss goals.
