About Medicus Weight Loss Clinic

What is Medicus Weight Loss Clinic?

Medicus Weight Loss Clinic is a physician-led weight loss clinic at 4475 Westbank Expressway, Suite B, in Marrero, LA 70072. Other mentions of the clinic say New Orleans, but the office address is in Marrero. Its main service is weight loss treatment with two medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide, given by injection. Two people are named as prescribers: E. Ward Sudderth, M. D., whose page lists general surgery, cosmetic surgery, medical weight loss and medical director, and Cynthia Harris, FNP.

The clinic describes four steps: a physician consult, a complete medical assessment of your lifestyle and fitness history, a one month supply of medication included with the appointment, and a follow up appointment on long-term weight control. The medication is compounded. In its own words: "Our compounded formulation is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or intended to replace the FDA-approved product." Its compounded versions are described as combined with vitamin B12 and/or glycine. Google lists the clinic with a rating of 5 from 3 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The clinic takes cash and credit cards only and does not accept insurance. Each appointment is described as including a one month supply of medication, but no appointment fee is listed, and it is not stated whether a consultation has its own charge or what medication costs after that first month. There is no membership, financing, or HSA information. Ask for a full written price before you book, covering the consult, the medication, and every follow up visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Confirm which of the two named prescribers signs your prescription, and whether you meet with that person. Find out what compounded means for your own treatment, and whether the FDA-approved brand name product is an option for you. Check whether the monthly cost includes medication after the first month, and what each refill costs. Learn what follow up visits and lab work cost, and whether lab work is part of the assessment. Ask how you cancel and whether any fees apply. Hours and telehealth are not listed, so ask about both. Two phone numbers appear, (504) 291-6370 and 504-291-6372, so ask which one is the main line. Finally, some testimonials and the site's footer name a different business, FlowMotion PT. Ask whether the clinic is connected to it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay weight loss visit at the Marrero office with named prescribers, and you are comfortable with a compounded medication and a price you have not yet seen in writing. If you need insurance billing, a published fee, or a clear answer on whether the medication is the FDA-approved product, get those answers before you book.
