About Baltimore Weight Management Center

What is Baltimore Weight Management Center?

Baltimore Weight Management Center is a physician-run practice at 2 West Rolling Crossroads, Suite 208, in Catonsville, Maryland. Weight management leads its name and its online presence, alongside a family medicine practice. Dr. Martin-Jones is the one prescriber named. She is board-certified in family medicine and in obesity medicine, and she has practiced in the Baltimore area for more than 30 years, in private practice for more than 25.

For weight care, the practice offers nutrition counseling and prescribes both traditional oral weight loss medication and FDA approved GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 medication. In its own words: "Here at Baltimore Weight Management Center we provide nutritional counseling, prescribe traditional oral weight loss medication as well as FDA approved GLP-1, GIP/GLP-1 medication." It does not name the specific medications. When supply is short, it works with a sterile compounding pharmacy that it describes as accredited.

The family medicine side covers annual and school sports physicals, immunizations, cardiovascular screening and management, women's health, geriatric health, and preventive medicine. It also certifies patients for Maryland medical cannabis and offers laser hair removal. Telemedicine visits are available. The office is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, at (410) 332-4726. On Google it is rated 4.2 from 44 reviews, in the category "Weight loss service."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight care, and it does not list a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, or whether it accepts insurance. The only prices it publishes are for medical cannabis: $199.00 for a new evaluation and $150.00 for an annual renewal. Those cover cannabis certification only.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and manages your prescription, and whether Dr. Martin-Jones sees you herself or another clinician handles follow-up. Ask which GLP-1 medications are prescribed, by name. Ask whether each is the brand-name product or a compounded version from the partner pharmacy, since the price and oversight can differ. Ask whether any fee includes the medication itself, and what the consultation, follow-up and lab work cost. Ask whether insurance is accepted for any part of your care, and whether weight care can be done by telemedicine, since the listing does not say which services. Ask how to cancel and whether you can pause treatment. Finally, confirm the phone line. A different number, (410) 244-0023, also appears in its contact details, so make sure the number you call reaches this office.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a board-certified family physician with obesity medicine training to lead your weight care alongside your general primary care, and you are comfortable asking about cost before you commit. If you need a published price list before you call, phone the office first and get the numbers in writing.
