About SlimNow MD

What is SlimNow MD?

SlimNow MD is a family-owned, physician supervised medical weight loss clinic with offices in Fort Myers, Naples, and Lehigh Acres. Its materials also name Cape Coral as an area it serves. Dr. Parisima Taeb is the medical director and the prescriber on record, and the clinic describes her as a board certified physician. Her training, as the clinic tells it, includes an undergraduate degree in microbiology from the University of Florida, medical school at St. George's University School of Medicine, and an internal medicine residency at Leigh Valley Hospital. Her brother Moe works alongside her, but no credential is given for him. In its own words: "we treat every client as a family member."

The clinic's main business is medical weight loss. Its services are weight loss injections, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, with Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound also named. It also offers a physician supervised program with a customized diet plan, appetite suppressant medication (phentermine, sold as Adipex, is named), lipotropic B12 shots, and non-surgical liposuction. An FAQ mentions HCG injections, and a note on its medical weight loss page says HCG is not FDA approved for weight loss. The clinic's materials give two different start dates, since 2012 in one place and over 25 years in another. Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 5 star rating from 1,104 reviews. It does not publish hours.

This listing is for its Naples office at 2464 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Suite 514.

What does it cost?

Weight loss injections are listed at $55/week or $199/month under a "4 Week GLP-1 Program." It does not say whether either price includes the medication. A separate promotion offers the first callers a four-week program for $199 against a stated $599 value. Its injection page says treatment plans start at $199 per month. A four-week Platinum Package is described as all inclusive, but no price is given for it. It does not publish a consultation fee. It accepts HSA and FSA cards, and it does not describe insurance billing or financing. It does not state membership or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the monthly price. Ask whether the $199 a month, or the $55 a week, includes the medication, or whether the drug is billed on top of visits. Ask whether the medication is a brand-name product such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound, or a compounded version, and what each one costs. Ask who writes the prescription and whether Dr. Taeb sees you at every weekly visit.

Then ask what the consultation, the EKG, the body fat analysis, and any lab work cost, and what each weekly visit costs. If you are considering HCG, ask about its price, given the clinic's own note that HCG is not FDA approved for weight loss. Ask whether a voucher covers the consultation and medication or only part of the program. Ask how a membership is cancelled, whether it renews automatically, and whether you pay for a week you do not use. Ask which office you will visit and whether any visit can be done by video, since telehealth is not stated. The listed numbers are 239.313.6388 and 239.325.8328.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician supervised program with weekly visits, you are ready to pay cash or with HSA or FSA funds, and you can get written answers on medication, price, and cancellation before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price or telehealth before you commit.
