how much weight do i need to lose?

From a medical standpoint, a 5-10% weight loss often has the most impact on your health.  We recognize people feel their health is optimal at a variety of different weights.  Often focusing more on how you feel, what your blood sugar is, what your blood pressure is, or your relationship with food is more important than what the scale says.  Some of our patients don’t even look at the scale, depending on their goals.

do you accept insurance?

No. This is a cash based fee for service practice. Visits are not reimbursable with insurance, this includes through a Superbill and FSA/HSA coverage. We do not complete prior authorizations.

We are not able to see Medicare patients at this time.

How often do i need to be seen?

After your initial consult, we will see you two weeks later to start your plan.  After that, we will see you monthly. We have discovered that regardless of what plan we help you pick the biggest predictor of success is sticking with the monthly follow up.

Some patients will need to be seen more often.  Once you are in maintenance, we recommend being seen every 12 weeks (unless medication plan requires monthly visits).  It is often harder to keep weight off than to lose it, and following long term is key.
