What is MEDY Weight Loss?
MEDY Weight Loss is a medical weight loss clinic with locations in Lathrop and Modesto, California. Care is led by Christel Backert, NP-C, who serves as Clinic Director and Lead Provider and has worked in healthcare since 2007, focusing on medical weight management since 2011. Before starting MEDY in 2022, she practiced at Medallion Weight Loss Clinic in Modesto from 2011 through 2022.
The clinic's main work is prescription weight management, including GLP-1 medications, phentermine, Contrave, and phendimetrazine, built around an individual health evaluation rather than a set program. Beyond weight loss, MEDY also offers metabolic therapies such as sermorelin, NAD+, glutathione, and GHK-Cu, along with nutritional injections (B12, D3, Lipo B, vitamin C). Body contouring with the Alma Accent Prime device is available only at the Lathrop location. Telehealth is offered to California patients who meet the clinic's distance and equipment requirements. In its own words: "MEDY does not require you to buy prepackaged diet foods."
This listing is for its Lathrop office at 15810 S Harlan Rd Unit b.
What does it cost?
MEDY does not publish prices for its weight loss medications, metabolic therapies, injections, or body contouring consultations. It states plainly that it does not accept insurance for clinic services, though some services may qualify for HSA or FSA reimbursement depending on your plan, and it can provide an itemized receipt. There is no stated consultation fee, membership structure, or cancellation policy in what it publishes. Ask the clinic directly for current pricing on any specific treatment before booking.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether your visit will be with Christel Backert, NP-C, or another member of the clinical team, since she personally trains other providers at the clinic. Ask what a GLP-1 prescription actually costs each month, whether that price includes the medication itself, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since none of this is stated. Ask what follow-up visits cost and how often they happen, since ongoing monitoring is described as part of the plan but not priced. If you are considering telehealth, confirm you meet the distance and equipment requirements before scheduling, since eligibility depends on where you live in California. If you want body contouring, confirm that consultation is only offered at the Lathrop location. Since HSA or FSA reimbursement is mentioned as a possibility but not guaranteed, ask what documentation MEDY provides for your plan administrator.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want an evaluation-first approach to weight loss, with medication as one option among several rather than a fixed menu, and you are comfortable paying cash while sorting out reimbursement on your own. It may be less of a fit if you need firm pricing or a clear sense of ongoing costs before you are willing to schedule a first visit.
