What is Patrick Chiasson MD?
Patrick Chiasson MD is a surgical practice in Tucson, Arizona, led by Patrick Chiasson, MD, MA, FACS. Its main work is bariatric surgery, the operations that change the stomach or intestines to help with weight loss, along with procedures for heartburn and hiatal hernia. The practice says Dr. Chiasson began his weight loss surgery practice in 2002, built around the gastric bypass. Its listed services include endoscopic weight loss procedures such as Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, laparoscopic procedures such as the sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and SADI-S, and foregut procedures such as the LINX device and fundoplication.
Medical weight loss is the smaller part of the practice. In its own words: "our supervised weight loss program, which offers both dietary counseling and the addition of newer weight loss medications." It does not name those medications. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy, or longevity medicine. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 433 reviews, under the category weight loss service. The street address is not shown, so call (520) 219-8690 for directions.
What does it cost?
The practice does not publish prices, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does say the sleeve gastrectomy is available as an outpatient procedure for selected patients who are not using insurance. It also points visitors to MDsave, which it describes as offering upfront pricing on bariatric procedures for people paying out of pocket. Whether the practice accepts insurance is not stated, and neither is whether a monthly program fee includes medication. Ask for the full cost of the consultation, the procedure you have in mind, and any program fees in writing before you commit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and manages the weight loss prescriptions, and whether Dr. Chiasson is the prescriber for them. Ask which medication is used, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether it is included in the program fee. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since none of that is listed. Ask whether the consultation is charged and whether that charge counts toward a procedure. Ask whether telehealth is available for follow-up, which the practice does not address. Finally, ask how you cancel a program or reschedule surgery, and what the MDsave upfront price covers.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are weighing a surgical procedure for weight loss, or a procedure for heartburn or hiatal hernia, and you are prepared to pay out of pocket. If you are looking for a medication-led program with published prices, this practice may not match, since the medication details are not published.
