Want medical supervision, lab monitoring, and a plan you can sustain
Assessment, treatment, and monitoring - all handled by your care team.
Complete medical weight management
Our program starts with a detailed medical evaluation of your history, medications, blood pressure, and metabolic health. Your provider then builds a personalized plan through nutrition, movement, and ongoing follow-up.
Metabolism and health risk assessment
Personalized nutrition and lifestyle coaching
Prescription weight loss medications when appropriate
Coordinated physical activity guidance
Regular progress monitoring and adjustments
GLP-1 medication therapy
Some patients may qualify for GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide under medical supervision. These therapies help regulate appetite, support healthier eating patterns, and improve metabolic function.
Semaglutide: helps reduce appetite and support sustained weight loss
Tirzepatide: targets multiple hunger hormones and supports blood sugar control
Coordinated with rehabilitation services when needed
Lab testing & health monitoring
Your provider orders and interprets lab work to understand your metabolic health: metabolic panels, thyroid function, blood sugar and diabetes screening, lipid and cardiovascular markers, and hormone levels. Results are reviewed with you in person or by telemedicine.
Prescription management
When medications are prescribed, your provider reviews potential interactions, monitors side effects, and coordinates with your pharmacy. Prescription weight loss medications are used only when clinically appropriate, and visits include a discussion of pricing and cost-saving programs.
Safety Information
Important safety information
GLP-1 medications are not right for everyone. Your provider determines whether they are appropriate based on your health history, goals, and current conditions. A thorough medical evaluation is required before prescribing any GLP-1 medication.
Common side effects may include
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea or constipation
Stomach discomfort or bloating
Decreased appetite
Rare but serious side effects
Pancreatitis
Kidney problems
Vision changes
Thyroid tumors (seen in animal studies)
Your provider will monitor your response and adjust your plan as needed. Medication costs are separate from the program fee and are filled through your pharmacy or compounding facility.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Call us at (813) 443-5370 and our team will explain the program, the medication options, and what to expect at your first visit.
Do I need a referral to start the program?
No referral is required. If you need coordination with your existing providers or specialists, our team can help facilitate communication.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a valid ID, current medication list, and any relevant medical records from previous providers. If you have recent lab work, we can review those results during your visit.
Do you accept insurance for weight loss services?
Our medical weight loss program operates on a direct-pay basis, which lets us offer extended appointments and personalized care without insurance restrictions. Some patients submit receipts to their insurance for possible reimbursement; we can provide visit documentation, but coverage is not guaranteed.
How much does the program cost?
The Medical Weight Loss Program is $299 for the 60-minute medical visit, including your evaluation, plan, monitoring, and ongoing support. Prescription medications (when prescribed) are billed separately through your pharmacy.
How much do weight loss medications cost?
Costs vary by medication, dosage, pharmacy, and manufacturer savings programs - typically $25 to $300+ per month. Your provider will help you explore cost-saving options if medication therapy is recommended.
Can I see my provider via telemedicine?
Yes - telemedicine visits are available throughout Florida for follow-ups, medication management, lab review, and progress monitoring. Some visits require in-person assessment; your provider will determine the appropriate type.
How long are appointments?
Initial consultations are 60 minutes; follow-ups are 30-45 minutes. This extended time allows for thorough evaluation, education, and treatment planning.
What if I have other health conditions?
Your provider evaluates your complete health profile, including chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disorders. Plans are tailored to your medical needs and coordinated with your care team when appropriate.
Do I need to be a primary care member to enroll?
No. Medical weight loss is available as a standalone program. Primary care members may receive discounts on additional medical services - ask about membership benefits during your consultation.
