About MD Weight Loss & Spa

What is MD Weight Loss & Spa?

MD Weight Loss & Spa is a physician-directed weight loss practice with a spa side, at 16880 Bernardo Center Drive, Suite C, San Diego, CA 92128. The phone number is (858) 485-5500. Rouzbeh Tehrani, MD, PhD, is the medical director and the only prescriber named. The clinic also has nurse practitioners and nurses on staff, but they are not named as prescribers.

Weight loss is the main service. A new patient has a first consultation with the on-site physician, who reviews test results and medical history, suggests one of the diets, and decides whether appetite suppression medication is a good option. If it is, the medication is dispensed on site. Weekly visits are optional, but the clinic likes to see patients every week to adjust the program.

In its own words: "Our highly successful weight loss clinic offers the latest FDA-approved weight loss prescription medications along with B12, B complex, Lipo-B, and Lipo Plus injections." It does not name the medications.

Other services include body fat analysis, customized programs, an in-house pharmacy, meal plans, food supplements, vitamins, extensive lab testing and low testosterone treatment. The spa side offers Botox, Dysport, facials and peels, PRP and Dermapen, and skin rejuvenation. Hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with a break from 1 to 2 PM. Tuesday and Thursday hours run 9 AM to 1 PM, and the office is closed on weekends. Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 4.7 rating from 11 reviews.

What does it cost?

The main package is the Four-Week Medical Weight-Loss Package at $89. It includes four weeks of weight loss medication, four fat-burner shots (four B12 and four lipotropic injections), and weekly weight loss monitoring with physician supervision. The $89 covers the medication. The first consultation is free when you call (858) 485-5500.

It does not publish prices for weekly visits after the package, ongoing treatment, low testosterone treatment, lab testing, meal plans or spa procedures. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, and it does not mention financing, HSA use, membership terms or cancellation. Get each of these in writing before you pay.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which weight loss medications you would be prescribed, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. The clinic does not name them. Ask whether the $89 is per person and covers all four weeks of medication, and whether you pay up front.

Ask who writes your prescription. Only Rouzbeh Tehrani, MD, PhD, is named. Ask what weekly visits, follow-up and lab work cost once the package ends. If you are considering low testosterone treatment, ask for the price, since none is published. Ask whether telehealth is available, since that is not stated. Finally, ask whether insurance is accepted and how you cancel or pause treatment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person weight loss care in San Diego that puts medication, injections and lab work under one physician, and you are prepared to pay directly. If you need telehealth, insurance billing or a published price for ongoing care, get those answers before you book.
