What is Dr. Richard Lipman?
Dr. Richard Lipman runs a medical weight loss practice in Miami. He is described as a board-certified internist and endocrinologist, and his program is called the Miami Diet Plan. The office is at 7241 SW 63rd Avenue, Suite 202, and the practice offers both in-person and telemedicine consultations, with telemedicine reaching patients throughout Florida.
This is a weight loss practice. Most of what it does centers on GLP-1 medications: semaglutide and tirzepatide, with Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro all named, and it writes about microdosing GLP-1s and a once-monthly GLP-1 maintenance protocol. It also names older appetite medications such as phentermine, diethylpropion, Qsymia, Contrave and Lomaira, plus metformin for maintenance after GLP-1s. Diet programs include an 800 calorie HCG diet, keto, intermittent fasting and a weight loss app. Dr. Lipman says he has over forty years of experience helping patients lose weight and is the author of 10 books. There is no hormone, peptide or longevity care on its menu.
What does it cost?
No prices are published for visits, GLP-1 treatment or the diet programs, and no consultation fee is listed. It does not say whether it takes insurance. Before you book, ask what a first visit costs, what each follow up visit costs, and whether the medication is billed separately or included.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether you would be prescribed brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound or a compounded version, since it writes about both. Ask what lab work comes first and whether it is included in the visit fee. If you plan to use telemedicine, ask how often you would need to come in person. No office hours are listed, so ask when appointments are available, and ask what the plan is if you lose access to your GLP-1 later.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss care from an endocrinologist who focuses on GLP-1 medications and diet plans, either at the Miami office or by telemedicine within Florida. If you are looking for hormone or peptide therapy, this practice does not list them.
