What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation where we review your complete medical history, conduct a physical exam, and discuss your weight loss goals. We'll order any necessary lab work to check for underlying conditions that might be affecting your weight. Within a week, you'll return for a follow-up appointment to review your results and receive your personalized treatment plan.

Ongoing care includes weekly visits for the first month, then bi-weekly appointments as you progress. Each visit includes weight and measurement tracking, plan adjustments, and one-on-one coaching. We also provide 24/7 access to our patient portal where you can log your food, track your progress, and message our team with questions between visits.

Unlike commercial weight loss programs, we have licensed physicians who can prescribe medications and treat underlying health conditions that may be hindering your progress. Our success rate speaks for itself - over 85% of our patients lose at least 10% of their body weight within six months.

We also understand the local community and lifestyle factors that can make weight loss challenging in Kentucky.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, including Anthem, Humana, and Aetna. Coverage varies by plan, but many insurance companies cover medically necessary weight loss treatment when you have qualifying health conditions. Our office staff will verify your benefits before your first appointment so there are no surprises. For patients without insurance coverage, we offer affordable self-pay options starting at $150 per month. This includes all consultations, body composition analysis, and access to our support programs. Prescription medications are billed separately through your pharmacy.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, we recommend keeping a food diary for at least three days to help us understand your current eating patterns. Bring a list of all medications and supplements you're taking, along with any recent lab results from your primary care doctor. Wear comfortable clothing as we'll be taking measurements and may need to conduct a physical exam.

Come prepared to discuss your weight history honestly, including previous diet attempts and what worked or didn't work for you. We're here to help, not judge, so the more information you can provide, the better we can tailor your treatment plan. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations and a commitment to making gradual, sustainable changes to your lifestyle.
