About WeightMEDICA

What is WeightMEDICA?

WeightMEDICA is a medical weight loss practice at 52 Washington Ave Suite 2 in North Haven, Connecticut. It has been helping patients in Connecticut lose weight for over 17 years, so weight loss is its main work. Its listed services are a Jump Start Program with three weeks of personalized meal plans, 6-week and 12-week VLCD programs, supervised GLP-1 medications, a complimentary consultation, a registered dietetic technician who builds a nutrition plan, and long-term support after you reach your goal.

The clinic names three prescribers: Fausto Petruziello, MD, who is listed as chief practitioner, Andrew Rodican, PA, and Rebecca Grillo. It is open Monday and Wednesday from 8am to 4pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 5:30pm, and closed Friday. The phone number is (203) 672-2840. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 5 reviews.

What does it cost?

WeightMEDICA does not publish prices. It does not say whether medication is included in a program price, and it does not state what blood work or EKG testing costs. The initial consultation is free, and it is advertised as complimentary. It says it accepts insurance, but it does not name the carriers it works with. It also does not publish membership, cancellation, or commitment terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the GLP-1 prescription and who supervises it. In its own words: "Patients who meet the criteria for GLP-1 medications receive prescriptions and supervision from a board-certified physician and weight loss specialist." Ask which medication would be used, and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic does not name a specific drug.

Ask whether the program fee covers the medication. Ask what the 6-week program's 6 weekly appointments and the 12-week program's 12 weekly appointments cost, and whether blood work, EKG testing, and the 9-month maintenance phase are included. Ask which insurance carriers the clinic is contracted with, and whether any visits can be done by video. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether you must commit to a set number of weeks.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near North Haven, can attend in-person visits during the listed hours, and want a physician-supervised plan that includes a dietetic technician and, if you qualify, GLP-1 medication. If you need a published price, telehealth visits, or clear cancellation terms before you commit, call the clinic and ask those questions first.
