Advanced GI of Central Florida

About Advanced GI of Central Florida

What is Advanced GI of Central Florida?

Advanced GI of Central Florida is a gastroenterology practice in Kissimmee, Florida, at 201 Hilda St, suite 22. The phone number is 407-703-3300. Its footer gives that address, but its map listing shows 809 E Oak St, so confirm where the office is before you drive there.

The one physician named is Dr. Vinay Katukuri, MD, listed as a board-certified gastroenterologist. Most of the practice is digestive care: advanced procedures at its outpatient facility, quick in-office tests and treatments, and care for conditions such as acid reflux, IBS, liver disease and Crohn's. Weight loss is one of its listed services, alongside body contouring and functional wellness, IV therapy under Wellness & Aesthetics, and screenings, biopsies and GI medication plans under Treatments & Support.

For weight loss, the practice describes its approach this way. In its own words: "Personalized plans and expert guidance to help you lose weight safely and sustainably." It describes the program as clinically guided weight loss using injections, IVs, suppressants and nutritional support. It does not name the medications. The practice has a 4.5 rating from 101 Google reviews, and Google lists it under weight loss services.

This listing is for its Kissimmee office at 201 Hilda St suite 22.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for its weight loss program. It also does not state a consultation fee, say whether any price includes medication, or say whether it accepts insurance. Those four gaps decide what you will actually pay, so get the answers in writing before your first visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the weight loss prescriptions. The clinic names Dr. Katukuri as its physician, but nothing says whether he handles weight loss or another clinician does, or what that clinician's credentials are.

Ask which medications the program uses and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the monthly charge, if there is one, includes the medication, and what the injections and IV visits cost on their own.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say, and what its hours are, since none are listed.

Ask whether it accepts insurance or only cash pay, and how cancellation works, including whether you are locked into a term. Confirm the office address too, given the two addresses on its pages.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already have digestive concerns or want a gastroenterologist involved in your weight loss care, and you are comfortable getting prices and medication details before you commit. If you want a published price list or a clinic that names its medications up front, call and ask those questions before booking.
