About Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center

What is Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center?

Oxford Primary Care & Weight Loss Center is a primary care practice at 96 Ali Way in Oxford, Alabama. Weight loss is one of its services, alongside annual physicals, sports and employment physicals, full laboratory testing, adult immunizations, DOT physicals, and red light therapy. It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy.

The prescribers it names are Kanina Crosen, ANP-BC, MSN; Dr. Paula Hunt, a nurse practitioner with a doctorate degree; and Komfort Cofield, with no credential stated. It does not say which of them runs the weight loss program. Its plans include medication therapy, which it calls an appetite suppressant without naming the drug, plus counseling, body fat analysis, diet changes, exercise plans, meal replacement shakes, and weekly lipotropic and B12 injections that need no appointment. The clinic has a 4.4 rating from 87 Google reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss, and it does not say whether any price includes the medication. The only dollar figure tied to weight loss is in its referral program. An existing patient who refers a friend gets 50% off, up to $9.00, on their next weight loss injection, once the friend brings the coupon to an initial consultation. That is a discount on an injection, not a price for the program.

The clinic accepts most major insurance plans. In its own words: "We also offer special pricing for cash-paying patients." It does not say which weight loss visits an insurer covers or what the cash price is. Its lipo description offers a free consultation, and it does not say whether that applies to weight loss. If cost decides this for you, call (256) 832-8802 and ask for numbers before you come in.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and who manages the weight loss plan. Its physicians are certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, but it names no physician among its prescribers, so ask whether a physician reviews your case. Ask the name of the medication and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether the free consultation covers weight loss visits, and whether insurance pays any part. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term. Finally, ask whether any visits can be done by video, since the clinic does not say.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care and weight loss in one office, and you are willing to get the medication name, the monthly price and the prescriber's name over the phone before you commit. It is a harder fit if you need a published price before you call, since none is listed.
