About The Orlando Institute of Weight Management & Metabolic Medicine

What is The Orlando Institute of Weight Management & Metabolic Medicine?

It is a physician-led weight management practice at 422 S Alafaya Trail #24 in Orlando, Florida. The phone number is (407) 207-2306. Allison L. Haughton-Green, M.D., is the only prescriber named. She is a board-certified pediatrician with more than 25 years of experience. Google shows the practice with a rating of 5 from 240 reviews.

It offers four services: How to lose weight fast, Special Needs Weight Loss, Childhood Obesity Program, and Preventing & Controling Diseases. The main weight loss program has three steps. It opens with an initial evaluation that includes a physical exam, a metabolic lab panel and an EKG, and Dr. Green or one of her colleagues may perform it. The first two steps include weekly office visits, a weekly booster injection and nutrition counseling. The third step is permanent lifestyle change, with monthly visits.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss program. Each plan is customized, so the cost differs by patient. Dr. Green reviews your history and goals in a free 30-minute consultation, then discusses treatment options and cost face to face. The consultation is listed as free for a limited time.

The payment options named are a Care Credit application and a GreenBridge application. It does not say whether insurance is accepted. It also does not say whether injections, supplements or appetite suppressants are included in any fee.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will do your exam and who signs your prescriptions. Ask whether the program fee covers the weekly injections, supplements and appetite suppressants, and whether those medications are brand-name or compounded. The practice puts it this way: "Since your progress is medically supervised, a weekly office visit is required for the duration of the first and second step of the program in order to monitor your progress and ensure your success." So ask what each weekly visit costs, how many visits the first two steps add up to, and what the labs and EKG cost. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term.

If you are considering the childhood or special needs programs, ask about age limits first. One answer puts the starting age at 3 and older, and another puts it at 5 and up. Confirm which one applies to your child.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you can get to the office every week for the first two steps and want the full price in writing before you commit. Parents looking at the childhood or special needs programs should confirm the starting age and which doctor will see their child first.
