About Dr. Duplechain
What is Dr. Duplechain?
Dr. Duplechain is a cosmetic plastic surgery practice at 1103 Kaliste Saloom Road #300 in Lafayette, Louisiana. Its main work is cosmetic surgery and nonsurgical aesthetic treatment, from facelifts and rhinoplasty to Botox, laser treatments and hair restoration. Weight loss is one of its services, offered through a GLP-1 injection program. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., and Friday, 8 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The phone number is (337) 456-3282.
The weight loss program is led by Dr. Kevin J. Duplechain and Dr. William Ishee, MD, both cosmetic surgeons. In its own words: "The program begins with an assessment at our office for an in-depth review of your medical history with a nurse to determine if GLP-1 injections are right for you." A blood draw is part of that first visit, and your height, weight and body measurements are recorded and updated every 3 months. The first injection comes at a second visit, about a week after the blood draw, and a nurse shows you how to inject at home each week.
What does it cost?
The initial assessment is $125, and that fee covers the assessment and blood draw at the Lafayette clinic. For the treatment itself, the practice says: "Pricing for the treatment will depend on dosing and market pricing." It does not publish a treatment price. It does not say whether the medication is included, whether follow-up visits are charged, or whether it accepts insurance.
VIP Club memberships start with 12 months and then continue month to month. After the first 12 months, you can cancel with 30 days written notice. It does not say whether the weight loss program falls under a membership.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription and sets the dosing, Dr. Kevin J. Duplechain or Dr. William Ishee, MD, and who you see at follow-up visits. Ask whether the program price includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost after the $125 assessment. Ask whether it accepts insurance, and whether telehealth is offered, which it does not say. Ask how you cancel the weight loss program and whether a VIP Club membership applies to it.
Last, the practice also publishes a peptide guide under the name Laser Skincare of Louisiana, with a different phone number. Ask which practice you would be booking with, and whether peptide care is offered at this address.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in or near Lafayette, can attend in-person visits, and want a weight loss program that starts with a nurse assessment inside a cosmetic surgery practice. Ask the questions above before you book.
