What is Sun Valley Weight Management Clinic?
Sun Valley Weight Management Clinic is a medical weight loss practice with locations in Chandler and Safford, Arizona. It is run by Alkeshkumar H. Patel, M.D., an internal medicine physician who is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. The weight loss program is built around four levels you choose from: prescribed stimulant appetite suppressants, an all natural non stimulant option for people who can't take stimulants, an HCG hormone program paired with a low calorie diet, and a no medication path built on counseling, diet and exercise. Medications named for the program include HCG, B12 injections and fat burner injections. The clinic also offers body contouring treatments: Vanquish for fat reduction, Exilis Ultra for skin tightening, and Cellutone for cellulite reduction, which sit alongside the weight loss program rather than being the main service. Hours run Monday through Thursday 8 to 5 and Friday 8 to 1, and there is no telehealth information published.
What does it cost?
The published starting price is $170 to get started, and this includes a consultation, a 60 day supply of an appetite suppressant, two B 12 or fat burner injections, unlimited weekly weigh ins, and scheduled doctor visits. Beyond that initial period, B12 and fat burner injections are listed at $25 for the week or $10 for an individual injection. The medication for the $170 program is included in that price, but the appetite suppressant itself is not named, so you won't know which drug you're getting until you ask. Nothing is stated about insurance coverage, consultation fees after the first visit, or financing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which appetite suppressant is included in the $170 price, and what it costs once the 60 day supply runs out. Ask whether the HCG program and the non stimulant program are priced the same as the stimulant option, since only one starting price is published. Find out whether Dr. Patel sees you at each visit or whether follow ups are handled by other staff, and whether insurance is ever accepted or this is cash pay only. If you're near Safford rather than Chandler, ask for that office's address and whether the same pricing and doctor access apply there. It's also worth asking whether telehealth visits are an option if driving in weekly for weigh ins isn't practical for you.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want an in person, physician run weight loss program in the Chandler or Safford area with a clear starting price, and you're willing to ask a few questions before committing to find out what happens after the first 60 days.
