Anti-Obesity Medications Prescribed Here

Anti-Obesity Medications may be added to a lifestyle approach to assist with weight loss for people who qualify. Patients who qualify most have a BMI over 27 plus comorbid conditions such as high blood pressures, diabetes, or hypertension or BMI over 30 with or without comorbities. 

Many weight loss clinics make money by marking up and selling medications at exhorbitant prices. This is not our approach. If your insurance covers obesity treatment we will prescribe through your insurance company. If you are diabetic you may easily qualify for treatment under that diagnosis. 

Most popular anti-obesity medications are recommended to be taken indefinately. These medicines are not quick fixes for people who want to lose a few pounds. We recommend lifestyle changes with any medication program. We offer monthly counseling billed to your insurance during initial weight loss phase.
