About Wichita Weight & Metabolism

What is Wichita Weight & Metabolism?

Wichita Weight & Metabolism is a physician-led weight loss clinic at 8110 E 32nd street N, Suite 125, Wichita, KS 67226. Its phone number is 316-370-2819. Its work is evidence-based obesity medicine with a direct-care approach. The only prescriber named is Dr. Borst, a board-certified obesity medicine physician (ABOM).

The clinic offers four services: medical evaluation and diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, medical and medication management, and ongoing support and progress tracking. The evaluation covers health history, labs, and body composition analysis. When clinically appropriate, it prescribes and manages FDA-approved weight loss medications, and it monitors labs and side effects. It does not name the specific medications it uses. It has a Clinic Memberships page, but no membership terms appear in its text. Its hours and years in practice are not stated.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and it does not say whether a monthly fee includes medication. The home page offers a free consultation. Insurance is addressed in this way: "we work diligently to help patients obtain insurance coverage for these medications whenever possible." It does not say whether it accepts insurance, or what a patient would pay if coverage is denied. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and whether Dr. Borst sees you personally or another clinician does. Ask whether the monthly fee or visit price includes the medication, or whether it is billed separately. Ask which medications the clinic uses, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask what the labs, follow-up visits, and body composition checks cost, and whether any of them are included. Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurance for these medications, and what the cash price is if it does not. Ask whether telehealth is available or whether every visit is in person. Ask the clinic's hours. Finally, ask how a membership is canceled and whether there is a fee.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led program that starts with a full evaluation at a Wichita office, and you are willing to ask about medication cost and insurance before you start. If you need telehealth or set hours, call first, since neither is stated.
