Its services are a Weight Loss Program, GLP-1 Medications, Diabetes Treatment, an Adolescent Program for ages 12 to 18, Vitamin & Nutrient Injections, and a Muscle Protection Protocol.

This listing is for its Wellesley Hills office at 49 Walnut Park Bldg 4B.

What does it cost?

Weight loss programs start at $199 a month, sold as 1-month, 3-month or 6-month plans. The clinic does not say whether that monthly fee includes medication. The new patient visit is listed at $199 as a one-time cost, but the clinic also offers a free assessment, so ask which one applies. For compounded GLP-1 medication, the first month is offered at $99 for semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide. No price after the first month is published, and no price for lab work is given.

The clinic accepts many major insurance plans, naming UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna, and says coverage varies by location. Its fine print adds that coverage is not guaranteed and that patients may owe co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance or charges for non-covered services. Many patients pay $0 to $50 per visit, depending on coverage and deductible status. Brand-name medication is available if insurance covers it. The program is HSA and FSA eligible. How to cancel a plan is not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription, and ask for that provider's name and license, since none is listed for this office. Then ask whether the $199 monthly fee includes the medication, and what compounded medication costs after the first month. The clinic's fine print states that the FDA does not approve or evaluate compounded drug products for safety, effectiveness, or quality, so ask whether what you would receive is compounded or brand-name.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost, since every program begins with lab work and a medical assessment. Ask how a plan is cancelled. Ask whether hormone optimization is offered at this office, because it appears among the clinic's programs but is not stated for Ft. Lauderdale. Ask what the Muscle Protection Protocol involves and what it costs. Ask whether any visits can be done by video.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medical weight loss care in Ft. Lauderdale or in nearby towns it also serves, including Hollywood, Lighthouse Point, Hillsboro Beach, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, Dania Beach, Sunrise and Plantation, and you are willing to get the prescriber, medication and cancellation answers in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need a named prescriber or a published price for the medication before you commit, since the clinic publishes neither.
