Services Included

 

🩺 Full Medical Evaluation

Your journey starts with a detailed medical intake, including:

• Comprehensive health history

• Review of current medications and conditions

• Weight-loss history and previous attempts

• Risk assessment to ensure medication is appropriate and safe

We take the time to determine whether medical weight loss is right for you — because safety always comes first.

🧪 Lab-Based, Personalized Care

When appropriate, labs are used to guide care and may include:

• Metabolic markers

• Hormonal evaluation

• Nutritional status

Your treatment plan is customized based on lab results, symptoms, side effects, and how you feel as your body changes — not just the number on the scale.

💊 Prescription Weight-Loss Medications

When clinically appropriate, medications may be prescribed as part of your plan.

✔ Medications are filled through a licensed compounding pharmacy
✔ Shipped directly to your door for convenience
✔ Dosing and adjustments are personalized and monitored

We stay up to date with current, evidence-based practice and educate you thoroughly on:

• How the medication works

• Expected benefits

• Possible side effects

• When and how to communicate concerns

🌿 Lifestyle & Habit Support

True success requires more than medication.

We focus on:

• Daily lifestyle modifications

• Nutrition guidance without restriction or extremes

• Movement that fits your life

• Sleep and stress considerations

There are no fad diets, trends, or unrealistic rules. The goal is sustainable habits you can maintain long after medication is discontinued.

🔁 Ongoing Follow-Ups & Adjustments

Weight loss is dynamic — your care should be too.

Follow-ups are designed to:

• Monitor progress

• Adjust medication dosing as needed

• Address side effects early

• Reassess goals and expectations

• Support long-term success

You are never left guessing or navigating changes alone.

 

Membership Options & Savings

To support consistency and long-term success, we offer a waived consultation fee for patients who enroll in a weight-loss membership plan.

✔ Lower monthly cost
✔ Ongoing provider support
✔ Structured follow-ups
✔ Better outcomes through continuity of care

Memberships are ideal for those committed to lasting change — not short-term results.
