About Canton Medical Clinic

What is Canton Medical Clinic?

Canton Medical Clinic is a family practice in Westland, Michigan, at 37662 Ford Rd, offering a weight loss program alongside its main work in family medicine, internal medicine, preventive care, geriatric and pediatric care, women's health, pain management, and hijama. It also offers aesthetic treatments, skin tightening and body contouring, using a system it names as the Alma Accent Prime. The clinic was founded by Dr. Nida Latif, M.D., who is board certified in Family and Obesity Medicine and has practiced since 2004, and Dr. Haseeb Ahmad Khawaja, M.D., FACP, who serves as Central Medical Director and has a background in internal medicine and hospital medicine. Dr. Ujala Zubair, MD, has also joined the practice, seeing patients of all ages. The weight loss program itself is described as a mix of nutrition counseling, exercise plans, and behavioral support rather than a program built around a single named medication. In its own words: "Our fat-loss programs are designed to help you shed unwanted fat while preserving muscle mass."

What does it cost?

Canton Medical Clinic does not publish prices for its weight loss program, consultation fees, or any membership terms. It states that it is covered by numerous insurance providers, which points to this being a practice that bills insurance for at least some services rather than a strictly cash-pay model, but it does not name which insurers it accepts or say which parts of the weight loss program, if any, are billable. Anyone considering this program should ask for a specific number before booking.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether your visit and the weight loss program would be billed to insurance or paid out of pocket, and if cash pay, what the actual cost is per visit or per month. Ask whether any medication is part of the program, and if so, whether it would be billed separately from the visit fee. Since the program description centers on nutrition, exercise and behavioral coaching rather than a named prescription drug, ask directly whether prescription weight loss medication is offered at all, and if it is, which of the three listed prescribers would be writing it. Ask what lab work is required going in, and what that costs. If you are hoping for telehealth visits, ask about that too, since nothing published says whether virtual visits are available.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a weight loss program folded into ongoing primary care, with the same doctors handling your general health, rather than a clinic built solely around prescribing one drug. It is less of a fit if you have already decided you want a specific GLP-1 medication and are looking for a program built around that, since nothing published here names what medications, if any, are part of the weight loss program.
