About Dr. Harris Medical Weight Loss

What is Dr. Harris Medical Weight Loss?

Dr. Harris Medical Weight Loss is a medical weight loss practice with offices in Tamarac and Boca Raton, Florida. Its one named prescriber is Dr. Jacob Harris, MD, whom the practice describes as a board-certified physician with more than 30 years in practice. Weight loss is the practice's main service. It offers GLP-1 medication, semaglutide, tirzepatide (sold as Zepbound), phentermine, and lipotropic and B-12 injections.

At the first visit, the practice draws blood and runs an EKG. Treatment then includes a medication review and monthly monitoring with adjustments. It says it has an on-site pharmacy that can provide same-day medication, and it states that it is LegitScript certified. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 4 reviews, which is a small sample.

This listing is for its Boca Raton office at 9045 La Fontana Blvd #230.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish monthly prices, and it does not say whether the monthly fee includes medication. It describes the first consultation as free. It also advertises $100 off the first appointment, with an EKG, blood work and the first week of medication listed as included. It does not say what the first appointment costs before that discount. In its own words: "Pricing may vary based on treatment plan."

The practice does not accept insurance, though it will provide a receipt for possible out-of-network reimbursement. It accepts all major credit cards. It does not mention financing, HSA payment, membership terms or cancellation.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for the full monthly total, including medication, follow-up visits and repeat lab work, and ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication. Ask whether the medication is compounded. The practice's own disclaimer says: "Compounded medications are not FDA-approved." Also ask whether the phentermine is the Adipex brand, since its pages name Adipex. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how cancellation works.

Ask who will see you at follow-up visits and whether Dr. Jacob Harris writes each prescription. One page mentions telemedicine options, but none says whether a prescription can be written without an in-person visit. Some pages say walk-ins are welcome, while others ask you to book. Ask which office you will be booked into, since some pages list the Tamarac office as Fort Lauderdale.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led weight loss care with prescription medication, you are paying cash, and you are comfortable with compounded medication after asking the questions above. It may not fit if you need insurance billing or want the full monthly cost before you call.
