EASTERN SHORE MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS

About EASTERN SHORE MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS

What is Eastern Shore Medical Weight Loss?

Eastern Shore Medical Weight Loss is a medically supervised weight loss clinic in Daphne, Alabama. In its own words: "We are a medically supervised weight loss clinic offering FDA approved weight loss medications." Weight loss is its only listed service. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity care.

The clinic is in the Jubilee Pointe Shopping Center on US Highway 98. Its phone number is 251-625-4030. The street number is printed two different ways, so confirm the address when you call. It says it has been in practice since 2008, and it has a 5 rating on Google from 7 reviews.

Its program pairs physician supervision with FDA approved appetite suppressants, plus suggestions on diet and a moderate exercise program. It names five medications: Adipex, phentermine, Tenuate, phendimetrazine and Didrex. The clinic does not name the physician who supervises the program.

This listing is for its Daphne office at 28588 US-98 Unit 7.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It states that the physician consultation is part of the medication cost: "Your physician consultation is included in the cost of the medication prescribed, and you will receive your medication at your visit." It does not say what that medication costs or whether there is a monthly fee.

It has no start-up fees and no contracts. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, or whether it takes HSA funds or offers financing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who prescribes. The clinic does not name its prescriber, so ask for that person's name and credentials, and whether you will see them at each visit.

Ask for the full cost of your first visit and each month after, and whether the quoted price includes your medication. The consultation is described as part of the medication cost, so get the total in writing.

Ask whether the medications are brand-name or generic, and whether any are compounded. Ask whether the clinic offers any medicine beyond the appetite suppressants it lists, since it names no other type.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether a primary care physician must approve your exercise plan, because the clinic wants any exercise program discussed with and approved by one.

Ask whether telehealth is available, what its hours are, and how cancellation works. If it has no contracts, ask whether you can stop at any time and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician supervised program built around FDA approved appetite suppressants, you are prepared to pay cash, and you will confirm the prescriber and total cost before you book. It may qualify people whose BMI is above 25. It is not a match if you are looking for hormone, peptide or longevity care, since it does not offer those services.
