What is Florida Coast Weight Loss Center?
Florida Coast Weight Loss Center is a weight loss practice that offers medical supervision and bariatric surgery.

It names Orlando, Jacksonville, Daytona Beach and beyond as areas it serves. The main phone number is (386) 585-4895.
Dr. Darren Peterson is the one prescriber the clinic names, and it does not publish his credentials. Its services include a 12-Week Weight Loss Program for people who are not surgical candidates or who want support before or after surgery, a Self-Pay Program, Fit Body Boot Camp, and three surgeries: gastric sleeve, duodenal switch and gastric bypass. Virtual consultations are offered for all new patients and follow-up appointments. Google lists it as a weight loss service, rated 5 from 54 reviews. In its own words: "We help our patients lose weight through medical supervision or bariatric surgery, but that’s only one piece of the puzzle."
This listing is for its Lake Mary office at 934 Williston Park Point Ste 1028.
What does it cost?
The one price it publishes is for surgery: special self-pay pricing on the gastric sleeve, $9,800, described as starting at that figure. The clinic does not say what that price covers, and it does not state whether medication, pre-surgery visits, hospital costs, follow-up visits or lab work are included.
It does not publish prices for the 12-Week Weight Loss Program, Fit Body Boot Camp or consultations. It does not describe monthly fees, membership terms or cancellation terms. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, though it offers a free insurance check and a free insurance verification. Its Self-Pay Program is described as a way around insurance approvals. It does not describe payment plans or financing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs your prescription, whether Dr. Darren Peterson sees patients in person, by video or both, and what credentials he holds. Ask who handles refills and questions between visits.
For the gastric sleeve price, ask whether the $9,800 includes the surgery, pre-surgery testing, hospital costs, follow-up visits and lab work. For anything left out, ask what it costs.
For the 12-Week Weight Loss Program, ask whether medication is in the monthly fee. If it is, ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and what your total monthly cost will be.
The clinic lists "Surgery in Mexico" among its patient resources. Ask whether any part of your care would happen outside the United States, and who would manage your follow-up if it did.
Ask whether a virtual consultation is billed the same as an in-person visit. Ask for the cancellation and refund terms in writing before you pay any deposit.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you already know whether you are looking at medical supervision or surgery, you live in or near Palm Coast, Lake Mary, Port Orange or one of the areas the clinic names, and you want the full cost in writing before you commit. If you are still deciding between a program and surgery, ask for the price and what it includes for each before you book a consultation.
