About Steve Siegal MD

What is Steve Siegal MD?

Steve Siegal MD is a surgical practice in Fort Myers, Florida, led by Dr. Steve Siegal, a bariatric and gastrointestinal surgeon. The office is at 15730 New Hampshire Ct #103, Fort Myers, FL 33908, and the phone number is (239) 481-0033. The only prescriber named for the practice is Steve Siegal, FACS, MD. Surgery is the main work here: gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, SADI-S, revision surgery, and endoscopic weight loss procedures, along with care for reflux, hiatal hernia, gallbladder, colon and achalasia. It serves patients from Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Lehigh and nearby Southwest Florida communities, and it has more than 10 years in practice. Google shows a 4.7 rating from 42 reviews.

Medical weight loss with GLP-1 medication is one of its services, not the whole practice. The medications named are semaglutide, sold as Wegovy, and tirzepatide, sold as Zepbound. In its own words: "Our provider-guided program includes personalized dosing, nutritional guidance, and optional add-ons like lipotropic shots." Nutrition counseling is offered through Julie Hill, RD, LDN, FMCP, a registered dietitian who works with a separate practice, Integrated WellBeing. It earns no financial benefit from referrals to that practice.

What does it cost?

The only published price is for surgery: self-pay weight loss procedures start at $12,000. That is a starting figure, and it does not say what that covers. It does not publish a price for the GLP-1 program or a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. The clinic accepts insurance and also sees patients who prefer to pay themselves. Financing is available through CareCredit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and adjusts the prescription, and whether that is Steve Siegal, FACS, MD, or someone else on the team. Ask what the GLP-1 program costs each month, and whether that fee includes the medication. Ask whether the medication is brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound or a compounded version, and whether phentermine is one of the medications used. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether the consultation fee counts toward treatment. For surgery, ask for an itemized estimate showing what the $12,000 covers. Ask how cancellation works and what happens to months already paid. Finally, ask whether visits can be done by telehealth, since it does not say.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are weighing bariatric surgery or GLP-1 medication with a surgeon who also treats reflux, hernia and gallbladder problems, and you are willing to confirm prices by phone before you book. If you need a published monthly price for medication, or telehealth visits, ask about both first, since neither is stated.
