About Olivera Weight Loss

What is Olivera Weight Loss?

Olivera Weight Loss is a medical weight loss practice at 3004 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago, IL 60657. Dr. Arturo Olivera founded it, and Jessica is also a prescriber. The practice describes more than 50 years of history, continuing work that Dr. Olivera's father began. It offers four services: GLP-1 injections, which the practice names as semaglutide and tirzepatide; Phentermine; telehealth for Illinois residents; and boosters and supplements, which are intramuscular vitamin injections such as Vitamin B12, Lipo-Max, Beauty-Boost and Slim-Boost.

The Chicago office is open Tuesday from 9am to 6pm, Thursday from 9am to 5pm, and Friday and Saturday from 8am to 3pm. It is closed Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. Its town pages for Lisle and Mokena send patients from those towns to the same Chicago address, and telehealth reaches patients anywhere in Illinois. In its own words: "Medication ships directly to your home anywhere in Illinois." Google shows a 4.6 rating from 201 reviews.

What does it cost?

The Semaglutide Starter Program is $299. It covers six weeks of medication, a provider consultation, the prescription, an injection kit and free home delivery. The program is listed as all-inclusive, with no tiered pricing based on dose. A follow-up appointment is listed at $346. It does not publish a fee for the initial consultation or a price for Phentermine. It works on a cash-pay basis with no insurance billing, and it accepts HSA and FSA funds.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and whether the provider you see will follow you through the program. Ask whether the $299 covers medication after the first six weeks, since it does not say. Ask whether Phentermine is included in any price and what it costs, because no Phentermine price is published. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. It can compound medications, and one patient testimonial describes a compounded semaglutide. Ask what the initial consultation costs, whether follow-up visits and lab work cost extra, and how to cancel. It does not prescribe Phentermine and GLP-1 at the same time, so if you want both, ask how it sequences them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying out of pocket and want a fixed starting price for six weeks of GLP-1 medication, with a Chicago office visit or a telehealth visit anywhere in Illinois. Get the open price questions answered in writing before you pay.
