Can Transform Your Health.
What is the weight loss program?
You will meet with a provider for a physical exam, laboratory testing, and to discuss medication options to help with weight loss. The primary medication used is Semaglutide, it is a once weekly injection that you will use at home. We will teach you how to administer it. You will then return to the clinic every 4 weeks to evaluate progress and to receive your next month of medication.
What is the cost of the medication?
The medication starts at $275 per month. We also offer a membership savings program for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. These memberships cover the cost of the medications and provide a discounted rate.
Do you accept insurance?
Insurance will pay for the appointment to see the doctor, but insurance does not pay for the medication.
What if I don't have insurance?
If you do not have insurance, the initial appointment is $350 which includes the full physical with the doctor, all laboratory testing, and the weight loss plan. All subsequent monthly appointments for weigh-in and medication adjustments have no charge beyond the cost of the medication.
What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
These medications are powerful weight loss solutions that suppresses the appetite, decreases the rate of digestion. The shot imitates the body's natural hormones that control metabolism and help to curb hunger and reduce body.
What can I expect during the appointment?
After an initial consultation with the doctor where you will receive a full physical and laboratory testing, you will receive your medications and be shown how to self-administer the injection at home. Our professional medical
assistants will show you step by step how to administer the injection and send you home with all supplies necessary.
What are common side effects of these injections?
Possible side effects vary from person-to-person because everyone responds differently to the medication. After starting treatment, patients may experience a range of temporary symptoms such as fatigue, upset stomach, headaches,
dizziness, or feeling gassy/bloated. If these symptoms do occur, we are here to support you and manage the side effects.
How much weight can I lose with Semaglutide?
People react differently to the medication for a variety of reasons. People can lose up to 3-8 pounds per week initially, but our goal is to achieve 1-2 pounds of weight loss per week. At this rate, it will best help to keep the weight off and help prevent muscle loss and other negative side effects.
How fast can I lose weight with Semaglutide?
Everyone has a different response.
Generally, you can expect to see results within 4-6 weeks though many patients respond sooner.
