About CT Weight Loss

What is CT Weight Loss?

CT Weight Loss is a medical practice at 353 Pomfret Street in Putnam, Connecticut, located alongside Priority Family Healthcare of NE CT, LLC. The business behind it is Diabetes and Weight Loss Center of Northeast CT, LLC. Its prescribers are Raja Fattaleh, MD, who has practiced family medicine for approximately 28 years and in Connecticut since 2000, and Sara Garcia-Gomes, APRN. Both list dietary advice and weight management as a shared interest. Sarah Desjardins, RD, LDN, CDCES, is a registered dietitian on the team.

The featured service is EMSCULPT NEO, a device treatment for fat reduction and muscle toning on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, calves and arms. The clinic is direct about what the device is not. In its own words: "EMSCULPT NEO® device was not studied for weight loss and is not FDA approved for weight loss." Medication weight loss support is a separate service, offered at its own visits. In its own words: "Our office also offers nutritional counseling and medication weight loss support at separate office visits."

Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM, with some evening and weekend hours available. The phone number is 860-315-9657.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether it accepts insurance. EMSCULPT NEO is sold by treatment area. Each muscle group takes four sessions of 20 to 30 minutes, given 5 to 10 days apart, and each treated area is billed as a separate expense. It does not say whether the medication weight loss support includes the medication or how it is billed. Ask for a written quote covering the full plan before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which medication the clinic uses for weight loss support, since it does not name one, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether Dr. Fattaleh or Sara Garcia-Gomes, APRN, would write the prescription, and how often you would see them. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask how cancellation works for both the device sessions and any medication plan. Ask whether the clinic takes insurance and whether any visits are by telehealth, since neither is stated. EMSCULPT NEO was not clinically studied in patients above a BMI of 35, and the practice suggests raising your situation at the consultation, so ask how that applies to you.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person treatment for a specific area of the body, or medication support from a practice with a physician and a nurse practitioner on staff, and you are comfortable paying for each part separately. It is a weaker fit if you need a full monthly price before you call, since none is published.
