About The Weight and Wellness Center of South Florida

What is The Weight and Wellness Center of South Florida?

The Weight and Wellness Center of South Florida is a physician-owned and operated weight management practice at 14115 South Dixie Hwy, Suite i, in Miami, FL 33176. Dr. Lisa DeRosimo is the prescriber named, and she has focused her career on weight management for men, women, and children since 1989.

It offers three services: Personalized Weight Management, Nutritional and Medical Disease therapies, and a service called Cardiometabolic syndrome. Weight management is its main focus. In its own words: "a thorough history, physical exam, lab review, and lifestyle analysis are done on the first visit." Plans can include nutritional advice that fits the patient's preferences, a plan to increase movement, and nutriceuticals or prescription medications. Its nutritional therapies build eating plans around the patient's medical condition. It does not name specific weight-loss medications.

The phone number is 561-701-3599, which carries a 561 area code that does not match the Miami address. A map listing places the practice in Palmetto Bay, so confirm the address and number before you visit or call.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, whether it accepts insurance, whether it offers telehealth, or what its hours are. Because it does not say whether it takes insurance, plan on paying for the first visit, lab work and any medication yourself until it confirms otherwise, and get each figure in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs any prescription, and whether Dr. DeRosimo sees you at follow-up visits or another clinician does. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and what it costs each month. If there is a monthly fee, ask whether it covers the medication, lab work and follow-up visits. Ask what the first visit and the labs cost, whether an HSA can be used, and how cancellation works, including any contract length. Finally, confirm the address and phone number before you go.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-run weight management practice that starts with a history, exam and lab review, and you are ready to settle price, medication and address before committing. It may not suit you if you need to see a price before booking, since none is published.
