About Kimberly Bolling, MD

What is Kimberly Bolling, MD?

Kimberly Bolling, MD is an internal medicine practice at 4000 Mitchellville Road, Suite B424, Bowie, MD 20716. The phone number is 301-352-0090.

The practice operates under the name Metropolitan Medical Group and has been open since 2004. It is currently accepting new patients.

Weight loss is one of several services, not the whole practice. The others include care for diabetes, arthritis, sleep apnea, gout and lupus, plus flu shots, physicals, echocardiograms, EKGs, well woman exams and abdominal aortic aneurysm screening. The weight loss program is physician-supervised. It begins with a consultation in which Dr. Bolling reviews your medical history and any diets you have tried, then suggests a plan. Most patients come in once a month for evaluations. Medication is part of some plans and not others. The medicines named are Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Saxenda, Xenical and orlistat. In its own words: "Physician-supervised weight loss is different for each patient because it's customized specifically for your needs and goals."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, whether insurance is accepted, or whether financing or a health savings account can be used. Every weight loss program includes a body-composition analysis, a wrist-waist measurement, an electrocardiogram and a complete blood panel. Ask whether those are billed separately from the visits, and what each monthly visit costs.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes each prescription, and whether anyone other than Dr. Bolling ever signs one. Ask whether the monthly fee covers medication and any supplements she prescribes. Ask whether each medicine is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. If insurance will not cover a medicine, ask what it would cost you directly and whether it must be taken for the long term.

Ask what Dr. Bolling uses to decide who qualifies for medication, and what the plan looks like if you do not. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by video, since that is not stated. Ask for office hours, which are not listed. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum commitment.

Finally, ask which name goes on the bill. Dr. Bolling also has a second business, A Why Weight Loss Medical Center, which uses the same suite and lists its own phone line, 240-706-5792. Confirm which business you are booking with and which number to call.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want the prescriber to be an internist who also treats other conditions, and you can pay out of pocket for visits and any medicine. If you need insurance to cover the visits or the medication, call and ask before you book.
