About Citrus Medical Weight Loss

What is Citrus Medical Weight Loss?

Citrus Medical Weight Loss is a medical weight-loss practice at 7394 W Gulf to Lake Hwy in Crystal River, FL 34429, serving Citrus County. You can reach it at 352-564-8245. Scott Redrick, MD, FACOG, is the physician who prescribes. He is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, trained at the University of Florida College of Medicine, and completed his residency at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. The practice notes that he has been practicing medicine since 1995.

Medical weight loss is the main service. Visits begin with an in-person evaluation of your health history, current medications, goals, and past weight-loss efforts. Four prescription medications may come up after that evaluation: semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine, and phendimetrazine. Nutrition and meal plan discussions and ongoing monitoring are also part of the offer. In its own words: "Same-Day Appointments Often Available." Google lists the practice as a medical clinic with a 4.3 rating from 75 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. No consultation fee is listed, and nothing says whether medication is included in any price. Insurance acceptance is not stated, and neither are financing, HSA payment, or membership terms. Payment options are mentioned, but no amounts or terms are shown.

Call 352-564-8245 before you book. Ask for the first visit fee, the monthly cost of each option, and whether medication is part of that cost. Ask for the answers in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription. Two other clinicians, Mario Mendizabal, MD, and Dawn Goodpaster, DMS, PA-C, DFAAPA, are listed as providing coverage for the practice, but neither is named as a prescriber. Ask whether either one can write a prescription, and whether you could be seen by someone other than Dr. Redrick.

Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and if it does not, what the medication costs on its own. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and who makes it.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost and how often they happen. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum term. Ask whether follow-up can be done by video, since video visits are not mentioned, and what the office hours are, since none are listed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Citrus County, want an in-person evaluation led by a physician, and are ready to call for prices before you commit. It may not suit you if you need the full cost in writing before any visit, or if you need video visits and have not confirmed that the practice offers them.
