Medical Weight Loss Management

Is medical weight management the same as a diet program?
No. Medical weight management is a physician-guided process focused on metabolic health, medical risk factors, and long-term outcomes. It is not a standardized diet or coaching program.

Do you prescribe weight-loss medications?
When clinically appropriate, FDA-approved medications may be discussed and prescribed as part of an individualized treatment plan. Not all patients are candidates for medication therapy.

Can weight management care be done virtually?
Yes. Weight management consultations and follow-up visits may be conducted virtually when appropriate. Laboratory testing is coordinated through external facilities, and progress is monitored regularly, including monthly follow-up when indicated.

How is progress monitored?
Progress is assessed through regular follow-up visits, review of laboratory results when applicable, and ongoing discussion of response to treatment and tolerability. Monitoring frequency is individualized based on clinical needs.
