About GMOS Clinic

What is GMOS Clinic?

GMOS Clinic is an obesity medicine practice in Gainesville, Florida. Its full name is Gainesville Medical Obesity Specialty Clinic. It has one office at 6830 NW 11th Place, Suite A, Gainesville, FL 32605, and its phone number is (352) 672-9000. Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 4.7 rating from 26 reviews.

Dr. Cindi Larimer, MD, is the prescriber, and she is board certified in obesity medicine. All of the medical visits and interviews are with her. The clinic offers physician care, nutrition and medical counseling, personalized treatment plans, and training and support, organized as a three-phase program covering active weight loss, transition and long-term management. The medications it names are phentermine (Adipex), phendimetrazine (Bontril), diethylpropion (Tenuate), Qsymia, Contrave, Saxenda, Wegovy and Foundayo (orforglipron). In its own words: "Prescription medication is chosen based on your history, weight, age, and risk of drug interactions."

What does it cost?

The monthly price is $275, with a $50 enrollment fee. It does not say whether the $275 includes medication. Its Foundayo article lists monthly prices from $149 to $299 depending on strength, but it does not say whether those amounts are part of the $275 or added to it.

Care is cash pay only. In its own words: "To spend extra time with each patient, we cannot accept insurance." It does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not describe financing, HSA payment, membership length or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes each prescription and whether Dr. Larimer handles every visit. Ask whether the $275 covers the medication. If it does not, ask what each medication costs per month, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and how it is billed. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether coaching is included in the monthly fee. Coaching starts biweekly and moves to monthly or as needed, according to the program description.

Ask how long a membership runs, how cancellation works, whether the $50 enrollment fee is refundable, and whether a consultation fee applies. Finally, ask for office hours, which are not listed, and whether video visits are available, which is not stated.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying cash for medical weight care, want a physician-led program, and will have the medication, lab and membership terms in writing before you pay the enrollment fee. It is a weaker match if you need insurance billing, since the clinic does not accept insurance, or if you need video visits, which it does not mention.
