About Folsom Medical Plaza

What is Folsom Medical Plaza?

Folsom Medical Plaza is an internal medicine practice at 825 E Bidwell Street, Suite 400, in Folsom, California 95630. It also calls itself a medical and dental practice, but every service it lists is medical: primary care, internal medicine, senior care, pain management, Botox, and medical weight loss. The one prescriber named is Sholeh Rahimi, MD, PhD, an internal medicine specialist.

Medical weight loss is the program most readers will ask about. Dr. Rahimi is an OPTAVIA provider. The program starts with an initial consultation to set goals and build an individualized plan, which may include nutritional counseling, lifestyle guidance, mental health care, medications and supplements, and regular check-ins. The OPTAVIA version also sends prepackaged meals to your home. No specific weight loss medication is named. In the practice's own words: "Working with an experienced physician takes the guesswork out of weight loss."

The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, and closed on weekends. The phone number is 916-755-5991.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or any membership terms. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted, or whether medication is included in any program fee. Before you book, ask for the cost of the first consultation and the monthly program fee, and get a written list of exactly what that fee covers.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes any prescription and how often you would see Dr. Rahimi in person. Ask whether the program fee includes medication. If a medication is part of your plan, ask which one it is and whether it is brand-name or compounded.

Ask whether the prepackaged meals are required, what they cost, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of that. Ask whether check-ins can be done by phone or video, since the practice does not say. Ask how cancellation works, how much notice is required, and whether you must commit to a set term. Finally, ask whether the practice takes your insurance or is cash pay only, and whether it accepts HSA funds or financing.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you can get to the Folsom office during weekday hours, want an internal medicine doctor to lead a weight loss plan, and are comfortable with prepackaged meals delivered to your home. Dr. Rahimi typically recommends individualized plans for patients with a body mass index of 30 or higher, so ask whether that threshold applies to you before you pay for a consultation.
