About Weight Loss Center of the North Shore

What is Weight Loss Center of the North Shore?

Weight Loss Center of the North Shore is a physician-led weight loss practice in Marblehead, Massachusetts, with a second office location also in Marblehead. It is run by Dr. Carmela Mancini, DO, MPH, who is board certified in Internal Medicine and also maintains a private primary care practice. The center's main focus is medical weight loss, built around an in-person intake visit that includes a physical exam, lab work and a body composition analysis, followed by a personalized treatment plan and ongoing follow-up visits.

Beyond weight loss, the practice offers a Men's Health and Longevity program described as addressing energy, hormones and metabolic health, along with vitamin and NAD+ therapy. It states that it regularly prescribes weight-loss medications as part of its program, though it does not name specific drugs. Dr. Mancini offers virtual sessions after that first in-person visit, so care can continue by telehealth once you are established as a patient.

This listing is for its Marblehead office at 123 Pleasant Street, Suite 105.

What does it cost?

No prices are published for the weight loss program, the consultation, or the vitamin and NAD+ therapy. The site does advertise "20% Off First 6-Month Program," which tells you the weight loss program is sold in six-month terms, but not what the regular or discounted price actually is. It also does not state whether insurance is accepted, whether medication is billed separately from the program fee, or what follow-up visits and labs cost on an ongoing basis.

If cost matters to your decision, the plain move is to call and ask for the full price breakdown before you book the intake visit, since none of it is posted online.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the six-month program fee includes medication or whether that is billed on top. Ask whether weight-loss medications prescribed here are brand-name or compounded, and what the actual drug names are, since none are listed on the website. Ask what the initial intake visit costs by itself, separate from the program, and what labs or body composition scans cost if you need them again later.

Ask whether insurance is accepted for any part of care, since nothing is stated either way. Ask how the virtual-session option works in practice, meaning how often you would need to come in person once telehealth starts. And since two addresses appear for this practice, both in Marblehead, confirm which one your appointments will actually be at.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary-care-trained physician directly involved in a weight loss program, and you are comfortable calling ahead to get pricing and medication details that are not posted on the website. It is probably not the right starting point if you need firm numbers in hand before you are willing to schedule a first conversation.
