About Dr. James Anthony Plastic Surgery
What is Dr. James Anthony Plastic Surgery?
Dr. James Anthony Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgery practice in San Francisco, at 450 Sutter Street, run by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James P. Anthony, MD, FACS. Its main work is surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures of the face, breast, and body, facelifts, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, liposuction, mommy makeovers, along with injectables like BOTOX, Juvederm, Sculptra, and Kybella. Alongside that surgical practice, the office runs a physician-supervised Zepbound (tirzepatide) weight loss program, which it describes as using FDA-approved medication from Eli Lilly rather than a compounded version. Dr. Anthony is the prescriber named for this program. Hours are listed as Monday through Thursday 9 to 5 and Friday 9 to 3.
What does it cost?
The weight loss program starts with a $500 consultation fee, which includes an evaluation of medical history and training on self-injection. After that, medication is billed separately and directly tied to dose: $349 a month for the 2.5 mg starter dose, and $499 a month for 5 mg, 7.5 mg, or 10 mg, with a note that these prices may change based on what the manufacturer charges. A 1-month check-in is complimentary. After that, a 3-month follow-up costs $250, and every 6-month follow-up after that also costs $250. There is no stated policy on insurance coverage for this program, and no mention of financing or membership terms.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether the $500 consultation fee is separate from the first month of medication, since the listed monthly prices appear to start after that visit. Ask whether any lab work is required before starting, and if so, what that costs and whether it is billed separately from the follow-up fees. Confirm who actually examines you and signs the prescription, since Dr. Anthony is the only person named as prescriber here, and ask whether all patients see him directly or a staff member handles parts of the visit. Since this practice's main work is surgery, it is worth asking how weight loss program visits are scheduled relative to surgical consultations and whether the same team manages both. Ask what happens if you want to stop the program, whether there is a cancellation fee or minimum commitment, and whether insurance is accepted for any part of the visit or medication, since none of this is stated.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit for someone in or able to travel to the San Francisco area who wants brand-name Zepbound prescribed by a named physician, is comfortable with a practice whose main identity is surgical plastic surgery rather than medical weight management, and wants to ask upfront how the $500 consultation interacts with the monthly medication cost before committing.
