About Medical Metabolic Specialists

What is Medical Metabolic Specialists?

Medical Metabolic Specialists is a weight loss practice at 1939 Wilmington Dr. #102 in Fort Collins, Colorado 80528. Dr. James Hendrick, FACP, MD leads the Fort Collins team and is the only prescriber named. He has spent the last 13 years exclusively treating obesity and associated conditions. The clinic lists five services: Bone Density Testing, BMI, Initial Consultation, Active Weight Loss and Transition to Maintenance. Dr. Hendrick takes part in each stage, and the maintenance phase still includes occasional visits with him. The first visit is described this way: "This is your first official meeting with Dr. Hendrick at our office in Fort Collins." The clinic also says FDA approved medications are an option for qualifying patients, but it does not name any specific weight loss medication.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. Its one offer is a New Year's Special for a pre-screening appointment that includes body composition testing with bioelectric impedance and dual energy X-ray. The offer is marked as expiring 2/28/26, with no price attached. The clinic bills physician services to health insurance, so it accepts insurance for those visits. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not publish membership, financing or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the initial consultation and each follow-up visit cost, and whether they are billed to insurance or paid in cash. Ask which medications the clinic uses and whether any are brand-name or compounded, since none are named. If there is a monthly fee, ask whether it includes medication and what medication costs on its own. Ask who would see you and sign any prescription, because Dr. Hendrick is the only prescriber named. Ask about lab work, whether Bone Density Testing and BMI are billed separately, and what each costs. Ask whether telehealth is available, what the office hours are and whether patients outside Fort Collins are seen. Finally, ask how to cancel, and confirm that your primary care provider supports weight loss, since the clinic requires that.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are 18 or older, have a BMI of 25 or higher, are not pregnant or nursing, have a primary care provider who supports your weight loss, and can get to the Fort Collins office. It is worth a call if you want a physician-led program and the cost answers above before you book.
