What is Northtown Primary Care?
Northtown Primary Care is a family practice in Rochester Hills, Michigan, at 6700 N. Rochester Road, established in 1993. It is a full-service family medicine office first, offering primary care, pediatric care, urgent care, women's and men's preventative care, orthopedic care, immunizations, allergy injections, minor surgical procedures, and metabolic testing, with a Weight Loss Clinic listed among its services. Five prescribers are named on the team page: Robert Ricketts, D.O., Erica Jarcaig, M.D., Raphael Szymanski, M.D., Colt Moran, M.D., and Kelsey Cotner, DO. The weight loss program itself is directed by Jumana Rifai, Pharm D., who is identified as the Weight Loss Clinic Director rather than as a prescriber.
The practice does not name a medication used in the weight loss program, nor does it describe what the visits involve beyond calling it a clinic. In its own words: "Our recently opened Weight Loss Clinic, is just one example of how we're committed to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals effectively and sustainably." That is the extent of what is published about the program's approach.
What does it cost?
No prices are published for the Weight Loss Clinic or for any other service. There is no listed consultation fee, no stated membership structure, and no mention of what, if anything, is included in a visit. The only financial detail available anywhere on the site is a general cancellation policy: appointments need to be canceled or rescheduled 24 hours in advance. Anyone interested will need to call and ask for a breakdown before assuming what a visit or a course of treatment runs.
What should you ask before you book?
Since the Weight Loss Clinic page names no treatment and no prescriber, start by asking who actually writes the prescription if medication is part of the plan, and whether that person is one of the five doctors listed on the team page. Ask whether the program uses a brand-name or compounded medication, since neither is specified. Ask what the visit costs, whether follow-up visits or labs cost extra, and whether insurance is accepted for any portion of the service, since none of that is stated. It is also worth asking directly what Jumana Rifai's role is day to day, since she is named as the clinic's director but not as a prescriber.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit for someone who already wants a long-standing family practice near Rochester Hills and would rather fold a weight loss conversation into a relationship with a primary care doctor than go to a stand-alone clinic. It is less of a fit for someone who wants a program with the medication, pricing, and protocol spelled out before they ever pick up the phone, since none of that is published here.
