About Diabetes & Weight Loss Center

What is Diabetes & Weight Loss Center?

Diabetes & Weight Loss Center is a medical practice at 1410 W. Broadway Street, Suite 203, Oviedo, FL 32765. The phone number is (407) 890-1876, and it is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. The practice operates as Diabetes & Weight Loss Center, LLC. Its main focus is diabetes and weight management, and it also offers primary care, diabetes management, medical weight loss and telehealth. The listed prescriber is Dr. Adriel Perez, APRN, DNP, FNP-C.

For medical weight loss, the practice uses Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide). It also names Qsymia (Phentermine/topiramate) and Contrave (Naltrexone HCL/bupropion HCL) among the weight loss medications its providers prescribe. Medication comes in when a nutrition plan has not produced results, and the practice may suggest it at that point. In its own words: "Nutrition management is our primary focus when it comes to weight loss." Programs include counseling sessions and a maintenance plan once a goal is reached. Visits can be done by telehealth, and patients can be seen in English and Spanish. The practice has a 5 rating on Google from 51 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Medication cost depends on your insurance coverage. Staff will help you check and obtain coverage, and will work with you to choose a medication that fits your budget. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether any price includes the medication, or what the first consultation costs. It also does not say whether financing, HSA payment or membership terms are available. A cancellation policy is listed, but its terms are not spelled out. Ask for those terms before you pay anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs your prescription, and whether Dr. Perez sees you at every visit or whether another provider might. Ask whether the price you are quoted includes the medication, or whether the drug is billed on its own. Ask whether the medication is the brand-name product or a compounded version, since the practice does not say which form it dispenses.

Ask what the first consultation costs, and what follow-up visits, counseling sessions and lab work cost. Ask whether the nutrition plan and counseling are billed separately from the medication. If you plan to use insurance, ask whether your plan is accepted. If you plan to pay cash, ask about HSA funds or payment plans.

If you may use telehealth from outside Oviedo, ask which states the practice can see you in, since those states are not named. Ask how to cancel, whether a fee applies, and how much notice is required.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Oviedo or can use telehealth, you want medication and nutrition counseling in one practice, and you are willing to get prices in writing before you book. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices before you call.
