About Reagan Medical Center

What is Reagan Medical Center?

Reagan Medical Center is a primary care practice in metro Atlanta, with offices in Lawrenceville, Dacula, Johns Creek, Suwanee, and Gainesville. Primary care is its main business, with urgent care and imaging alongside it. Weight loss is one of its services, next to office tests and COVID and flu testing. The practice says it has served patients for over 27 years.

The program offers semaglutide or tirzepatide. The practice lists them as compounded semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). In its own words: "At Reagan Medical Center, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs tailored for those at risk for type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related issues." The practice's providers include physicians, a doctor of osteopathy, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, but the program does not name who prescribes. Medication can be started by office visit or televisit, though some lab work may still need an in-person visit.

This listing is for its Gainesville office at 1429 Thompson Bridge Rd.

What does it cost?

Starting at $35 per week, which the practice says includes the office visit and medication. It also lists $350 paid upfront for a 10 week supply and an office visit or televisit. It adds that additional costs may apply based on the type of medication and dosage.

It does not publish a consultation fee for weight loss, cancellation terms, or what follow-up visits and lab work cost. It accepts many insurance plans, but it does not say whether insurance pays any part of this program.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. The program does not name a prescriber, so ask which provider will write yours. Ask whether the weekly price covers the medication at every dose, and what the additional costs would be. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy makes it.

Then ask what the consultation costs and whether it is refunded if you do not start. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask how you cancel and what happens to medication you have prepaid. Finally, ask the clinic to explain the medication warnings it publishes and what it checks before you begin.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss care run out of a primary care practice, you are comfortable paying a set amount up front or weekly, and you can get clear answers on the prescriber, the dose pricing, and cancellation before you pay. If any of those answers are missing, call one of the offices and ask for them in writing before you book.
