About Doctors Weight Clinics

What is Doctors Weight Clinics?

Doctors Weight Clinics is a medical weight loss practice with offices in Moreno Valley and Oceanside, California. It has been in weight management for more than 50 years and describes itself as a family-owned business. Marcel Brysk, MD, is the medical director and the only prescriber the practice names. Google reviews rate it 4.1 from 28 reviews.

Its four services are injections, medications, supplements, and consultations. The GLP-1 injections it highlights are semaglutide and tirzepatide. Its appetite suppressant medications include phentermine, Bontril, and Tenuate. It also offers HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) as part of a weight-loss protocol, along with vitamin B6, B12, and B-complex injections and lipotropic injections.

This listing is for its Moreno Valley office at 23318 Olivewood Plaza Dr., Suite E..

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or a monthly rate, so there is no way to know from the outside what a visit or a month of treatment costs. It does not say whether any price includes medication. On payment, it states: "We understand that weight-loss treatments are often not covered by insurance, so we offer flexible payment options through CareCredit." It does not say whether it accepts insurance. The payment option it names is CareCredit financing.

Ask for the full cost in writing before you book, including the visit, the medication, follow-up visits, and any lab work.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription at the Oceanside office. The practice names one physician and does not name a prescriber for Oceanside. Ask whether Dr. Brysk reviews your history or another physician does, since the practice describes a review with one of its physicians without naming who.

Ask whether the monthly price includes the medication. For the GLP-1 injections, ask whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, and where it comes from.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. The practice describes regular follow-up visits for appetite suppressants, so ask how often they happen and what each one costs.

Ask whether the annual exam it describes is billed separately, whether a consultation fee applies, whether telehealth visits are offered, and what the office hours are. None of these is stated.

Ask how cancellation works, and what the CareCredit financing costs if you use it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medical weight loss care in Moreno Valley or Oceanside, you can pay out of pocket or through financing, and you want the prescriber and the full monthly cost confirmed in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or a telehealth option, since neither is stated.
