About Tuscaloosa Weight Loss Center

What is Tuscaloosa Weight Loss Center?

Tuscaloosa Weight Loss Center is a medical weight loss practice in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Its main service is a physician-supervised program that prescribes GLP-1 medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide, for weight loss. It also lists lipotropic injections, Biote Hormone Therapy, and body contouring treatments (CoolSculpting, Morpheus8 Body and EmSculpt) that are partnered with Tuscaloosa MedSpa, where its weight loss services are offered.

The prescribers listed are Sean Morris, NP, Jonathan Gallinger, PA, and Dr. Srilata Anne, MD, who is listed as medical director. The program is described as led by a board-certified bariatric physician. Northport and Cottondale, Alabama, also appear among its locations, so ask which office you would visit. Google shows it at 4.7 from 122 reviews.

What does it cost?

Semaglutide starts at $150 a month and tirzepatide starts at $300 a month. It does not say whether medication is included in either starting price, so ask what the monthly fee covers. The first consultation is free. The clinic accepts insurance through its First Care Program and also offers self-pay. In its own words: "Self-pay is available for our medically monitored weight loss program." It mentions flexible payment options for people paying out of pocket but gives no amounts, and it does not mention HSA cards or financing. Lipotropic injections, hormone therapy and body contouring have no prices published. It does not publish membership or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will sign your prescription and how often you will see that person. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, whether the price changes as the dose steps up, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what lab work, follow-up visits and check-ins cost, since the pages describe both weekly and monthly check-ins. Ask how to cancel and whether there is a minimum commitment. Telehealth and the number of years the clinic has been open are not stated, so ask about both. Confirm the hours, since the clinic prints opening times of both 8:30 am and 8:30 pm. Finally, ask which business bills you, the weight loss center or Tuscaloosa MedSpa. The phone number is (205) 553-1500.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medical weight loss care with a named prescriber and you are ready to get the medication price, the monthly fee terms and the cancellation rules in writing before you pay. It is a weaker match if you need firm prices for hormone therapy or body contouring up front, since none are published.
