What is Achira Endocrinology And Weight Loss Center?
Achira Endocrinology And Weight Loss Center is an endocrinology practice with offices in Dearborn and Taylor, Michigan. It is run by Dr. Ali Achira, MD, who is board certified in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology & Diabetes, and Obesity medicine, and Dr. Dania Abushanab, who is board certified in Internal medicine, Endocrinology & Diabetes. This is first a diabetes and thyroid practice, treating conditions like Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, thyroid nodules, hypothyroidism, PCOS, menopause, and osteoporosis, with weight loss as one of the services offered alongside that endocrine care.
Weight loss care here is built around an endocrinologist's exam rather than a stand-alone program. In its own words: "Our weight loss strategies include the use of nutrition education, diet and exercise plans as well as FDA-approved weight loss medications if necessary." Semaglutide and Wegovy are named as medications used when appropriate. The practice also lists televisits as an option for appointments.
This listing is for its Dearborn office at 4700 Greenfield Rd Suite 2 C.
What does it cost?
No prices are published for office visits, weight loss consultations, or medication. It does not say whether a monthly fee (if any) includes the cost of semaglutide or Wegovy, and there is no stated consultation fee, membership structure, or cancellation policy. The practice does list an accepted insurances page, but whether weight loss visits or medications themselves are covered by insurance is not stated.
Anyone considering this practice should call and ask for the actual numbers before assuming anything about cost, since none of that is laid out online.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which doctor you would actually see and whether that person is the one writing your prescription, since both Dr. Achira and Dr. Abushanab are listed as prescribers here. Ask whether Wegovy or semaglutide would be prescribed as the brand-name product or compounded, and whether your insurance is billed for the visit, the medication, or neither.
Ask what a typical visit costs out of pocket, what follow-up visits and lab work run, and whether a televisit can replace an in-person visit for ongoing weight loss care. If insurance is a factor for you, ask directly whether your plan is accepted for the endocrinology visit even if the weight loss medication itself is billed separately.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight loss addressed by an endocrinologist already treating things like thyroid disease, diabetes, or PCOS, rather than through a weight-loss-only clinic. It may be less of a fit if you are looking for published pricing or a packaged monthly program, since none of that is listed and you would need to get those details by calling the practice directly.
