Frequently Asked Questions
New to medical weight loss? Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most, so you know exactly what to expect before you ever set foot in our office.
About the Program
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a physician- or provider-supervised program that combines medical evaluation, evidence-based treatment (including GLP-1 medications when appropriate), and ongoing monitoring, designed around your individual health needs rather than a generic diet plan.
What medications do you use?
We offer FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, when your provider determines they’re an appropriate and safe fit for you.
Is this a safe plan for medical weight loss?
Every treatment plan begins with a full medical evaluation, and your provider monitors your progress throughout treatment to help ensure your plan stays safe and appropriate for you.
Getting Started
Am I a candidate?
The best way to find out is a consultation. Our provider will review your health history and goals to determine whether our program is right for you.
What happens at my first visit?
Your provider will review your intake information, discuss your health history and goals, and talk through your options, so you leave with a clear plan and no unanswered questions.
Do I need a referral from another doctor?
No referral is required to request a consultation with our team.
Cost & Insurance
How much does the program cost?
Program costs depend on your individualized treatment plan and are discussed in detail during your consultation, so you always know what to expect before moving forward.
Does insurance cover treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and provider. Our team can help answer coverage questions during your consultation.

Is my information secure?
Yes. Your health information is managed through our secure, HIPAA-compliant patient portal, and we take your privacy seriously at every step.

Your provider is available throughout your treatment for follow-up questions and check-ins; you’re never left to figure things out on your own.
