What is Dr. Sheila Hughes Weight Loss & Wellness?
Dr. Sheila Hughes Weight Loss & Wellness is a weight loss practice with offices in Los Angeles and Encino, California. Its weight loss program is medically supervised, and that is its main service. It also offers Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for women and for men, plus aesthetic treatment with truSculpt iD. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine. Dr. Sheila Hughes is the only person named as a prescriber, and her credentials are not published. It has a 5 rating on Google from 7 reviews.
The program starts with an initial weight loss consultation, followed by weekly one-on-one weigh-in visits and a long-term weight maintenance program. Plan for 90 minutes at the first visit, when an EKG and blood work are done. For the remote option, the clinic offers this in its own words: "Once you come to a face-to-face meeting, you can complete every other part of the program through email or phone, and this includes the weekly consultations." It also serves people throughout Los Angeles.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in the program. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance. Payment plans are mentioned, but the clinic does not show what they cost, so ask for the terms before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with who signs the prescription and what their credentials are. Dr. Sheila Hughes is the name given, but no credentials are published, so ask for them in writing. Next, ask whether the weekly program fee includes medication. Appetite suppressants are offered to some patients, but no names are given, so ask which ones, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask what the weekly supplemental injections contain and whether they cost extra.
Then ask about costs outside the visits. What do the first-visit EKG and blood work cost, and what do follow-up labs cost? For hormone therapy, ask which labs come before BHRT starts and who reviews them. Ask which of the weekly contacts happen in person and which happen by email or phone, and which office you would use. Finally, ask how to cancel, whether unused visits are refunded, and whether there is a fee for leaving early.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want in-person weight loss support in Los Angeles or Encino, can attend the first visit, and want the prescriber, the medication, and the total monthly cost in writing before you commit. It is not a match if you are looking for peptide therapy or longevity medicine, which the clinic does not list.
