What is dietMD Hawaii?
dietMD Hawaii is a medical aesthetics and wellness practice at 2228 Liliha St, Suite 401, in the Paiko Building at St. Francis Medical Center in Honolulu. Dr. Katsura, MD runs the practice and is the prescriber listed for it. Its main work is skin and body treatment. Weight loss is one of its listed services, alongside body contouring, skin tightening, spider vein treatment, hair restoration, laser hair reduction, tattoo removal, and non-pharmaceutical treatment for erectile dysfunction.
The weight loss program is physician directed. It uses injectable weight loss medications and prescription weight loss medications, including injectable GLP-1 medicines. The specific medicines are not named. Dr. Katsura has been helping patients lose weight since 2010. In its own words: "Physician directed medical treatment for your weight & weight related medical issues." Google shows a 4.9 rating from 23 reviews, and lists the business under weight loss services.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. No consultation fee is listed, no monthly price for the weight loss program is shown, and nothing says whether medication is included in any price. The practice accepts HMSA and most medical insurances, and it calls the first weight loss consultation insurance covered. Which parts of the program that coverage reaches is not stated.
The Acne Clarity Program and the Correction & Brightening Program are 6-month memberships. Each includes a monthly B12 injection and a $50 birthday credit, but no membership price appears. Financing through CareCredit is offered. Cancellation terms for the weight loss program are not given, so ask for the price and the terms before your first visit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and signs the weight loss prescription, and whether that is Dr. Katsura. Ask which medicines are used and whether they are brand-name or compounded, since the medicines are not named. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication, and what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask which insurance plans apply to the weight loss program and what the insurance covers. Ask whether ongoing support after you reach a goal weight is included in the fee. Ask whether any part of the program can be done by telehealth, what the office hours are, and how to cancel. For a membership, ask the price and what is included before you commit. You can call (808) 551-4348 to ask.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want physician-directed weight care in Honolulu and are willing to get prices and terms in writing before you book. It may suit you less if you need telehealth or a published monthly price, since neither is listed.
