About Empower Weight Loss
What is Empower Weight Loss?
Empower Weight Loss is a physician-directed medical weight loss clinic at 1747 Sweetwater Road, Suite 104, National City, CA 91950. The phone number is (619) 474-7000. It also goes by Empower Medical Weight Loss Clinic and serves National City and San Diego County. The on-site physician is Rouzbeh Tehrani, MD, PhD.
Weight loss is the main service, with hormone replacement therapy offered alongside it. Programs include a women's plan, a men's plan, a 10-14 Rapid Weight Loss Plan built on meal replacement shakes, and a Getting Started Program. Other services are body fat analysis, meal plans, food supplements, vitamins, lab testing, low testosterone treatment, an in-house pharmacy, and B12, B complex, Lipo B and Lipo Plus injections. The physician reviews test results and medical history at the first visit, suggests a diet, and decides whether appetite suppression medication is a fit, which is then dispensed on site. Weekly visits are not mandatory, though the clinic prefers to see patients every week. Hours are Monday to Friday 9 to 5:30, closed 1 to 2, Saturday 10 to 2, and closed Sunday. Google lists the clinic at 3.9 from 16 reviews.
In its own words: "Our nutritional products are available only from our medical doctors."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. The first consultation is free, by phone or in person. The 10-14 plan lists what comes with it, including 60 meal replacement shakes in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and cappuccino, recipe books and B complex injections, but no price. The Getting Started Program covers a nurse consultation, a doctor's visit, a week of appetite suppressant and a vitamin injection, also without a price. Nothing says whether medication is included in any program fee, whether insurance is accepted, or whether financing, membership terms or cancellation rules apply. Ask for all of these in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for any weight loss or hormone medication, and whether you will see Dr. Tehrani at each visit or someone else on the team. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication and what your total cost would be each month. No specific weight loss medication is named, so ask which one you would receive and whether it is brand-name or compounded by the in-house pharmacy. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, including the testosterone test. Ask whether insurance is accepted, whether financing is available, and how cancellation works. If you want telehealth, ask, since none is described.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want in-person, physician-supervised weight loss or hormone care in National City and are willing to get prices and medication details in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need insurance billing, a named medication up front, or telehealth, since none of those are described.
