How do I know if I’m a candidate?¿Cómo puedo comenzar?
During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history, current health, and weight loss goals to determine the best treatment plan for you. Some patients may qualify for weight loss medication if they have a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with certain weight-related medical conditions.
Do I need a referral, and do you offer telehealth appointments?
No referral is needed for most patients. Telehealth appointments may also be available depending on your location and treatment plan.
What medications do you prescribe?
Depending on your medical history, you may qualify for FDA-approved medications such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, or other evidence-based weight loss treatments. Your provider will discuss the best option for you.
How soon will I see results, and how much weight can I expect to lose?
Many patients begin noticing weight loss within the first few weeks, although results vary depending on the treatment plan and individual factors. Some patients may lose 10–20% or more of their body weight when medication is combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
Are there side effects, and will I have to take the medication forever?
Like all medications, weight loss medications can have side effects. Your provider will review the risks, benefits, and ways to minimize side effects before starting treatment. You may not need to take medication forever, as your plan will be individualized based on your progress, health goals, and long-term weight management strategy.
