About Dr. Tague’s Center for Nutrition & Preventive Medicine

What is Dr. Tague’s Center for Nutrition & Preventive Medicine?

Dr. Tague’s Center for Nutrition & Preventive Medicine is a physician-run practice with offices in Leawood and Topeka, Kansas. Medical weight loss is its main service. It also offers healthy aging care, natural bioidentical hormone therapy, medical oversight of GLP-1 medications (and alternatives), advanced cholesterol and preventive heart services, targeted nutrition and supplement plans, and a corporate wellness program.

Rick Tague, M.D., M.P.H. & T.M., is the founder and medical director and a prescriber. He is board certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine and the American Board of Family Medicine, and his medical practice has focused on nutrition, weight loss, and obesity medicine since 1996. Caleb Tague, M.D. & M.P.H., is also a prescriber and a board-certified lipidologist. The medications named for its GLP-1 oversight are semaglutide, Ozempic, and Wegovy. Google reviews give the practice a 4.9 rating from 187 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service. It also does not say whether a monthly fee includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA payment or financing. No membership terms or cancellation rules are published. The one price-related statement it makes concerns the first visit. In its own words: "Your initial consultation is absolutely free." Ask for the full fee list before you book, and get the answers in writing if you can.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes your prescription, and whether follow-up will be with Rick Tague, Caleb Tague, or another clinician. Ask whether the program fee includes medication. If it does not, ask what a month of medication costs and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, since neither is published.

Ask what follow-up visits, body composition testing, and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether follow-up can be done by telehealth and what those visits cover, since the details are not published. If supplements are offered through its nutrition store, ask whether buying them is required. Finally, ask for the office hours, whether there is a contract, and how cancellation works.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Leawood or Topeka, want physician-led weight loss care with GLP-1 medication oversight, and are ready to get prices and payment terms by phone before you commit. If you need insurance billing, confirm that first, since none is described.
