Medications come with the possibility of side effects, but that does not necessarily mean that you will experience them. We have individuals who don't experience a single side effect, and others who experience all of them. We will work with each person to minimize side effects and ensure the best possible outcome.
Once you meet your weight loss goal, you will begin to taper down to a lower maintenance dose. The maintenance dose is different for everyone. It is a dose where you are no longer continuing to lose weight but are staying steady at your goal.
You may choose to taper off the medication completely and maintain your goal weight with the lifestyle changes and tools you have learned over the course of this program. If you find yourself gaining the weight back, you may restart the medication.
- Those with Type 1 Diabetes
- Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or actively trying to conceive

No, we do not accept or bill insurance.
We do accept health savings account/flexible spending account (HSA/FSA) cards.
Unfortunately, we do not do virtual visits at this time. You will need to come in person to your consult and follow up appointments.
The cost of the consultation is $50. This is an hour-long appointment where we discuss the medications and how they work, side effects, what you can expect in terms of length of time needed to lose your desired amount of weight, counseling on diet, as well as weighing in and taking before photos. If you choose to start the program the day of your consultation, your total cost will be $425.00. Every visit thereafter will be free, and you will just be paying for the medication and supplies.
The price of the medication varies by dosage. For the first several months, the price will be $420.00. We will try to keep you at the lowest price point for as long as possible. When your weight loss plateaus, we will need to increase your dose and that will also increase the price. We have deeply discounted the higher doses because we understand what a big financial commitment this is. Included in this price is your visit, medication, supplies, training, and counseling.
Through Square's interest-free AfterPay option, patients do have the choice to pay in installments over time instead of all at once. We also accept Care Credit! If you are interested in using Care Credit, apply before your appointment using this link: https://www.carecredit.com/go/274XCJ/
