About Heartland Weight Loss Clinic

What is Heartland Weight Loss Clinic?

Heartland Weight Loss Clinic is a physician-led weight loss practice at 64 Doctors Park in Cape Girardeau, Missouri 63703. Its main focus is bariatric surgery. It is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 4:30pm, and the phone number is (573) 261-5548. Dr. LeGrand is the only person named as a prescriber, and no credentials are published for him.

The practice offers gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, loop duodenal switch (SADI-S), non-surgical weight loss options, weight loss injections, the Enterra Therapy System for gastroparesis, and health coaching. On-site dietitians and in-office transnasal endoscopies are also part of the practice. Health Coach Kristi Ewasko works in person or virtually. She is a coach, not a prescriber.

In its own words: "Dr. LeGrand personally handles after-hours emergencies for his patients." On Google, the clinic has a 4.9 rating from 196 reviews.

What does it cost?

The month-to-month weight loss injection plan starts at $60 a month, plus a $57 initial visit. The clinic does not say whether medication is included in the monthly fee. It also does not say whether the $57 visit is a consultation. Cancellation terms for the plan are not published.

Surgery is listed on a self-pay basis: $9,999 for a self-pay gastric sleeve, $11,999 for a mini gastric bypass, $17,995 for a self-pay duodenal switch, and $21,000 for a self-pay gastric bypass. Financing is also offered. Many insurance providers and plans will help with medical weight loss and surgical expenses, but coverage depends on your own plan, so check it before you book. Health coaching pricing is given only by phone.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the injection prescription and what credentials that person holds. Ask which medication is used, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the $60 monthly fee includes the medication, and what your total monthly cost would be with it. Ask what the $57 initial visit covers.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask how to cancel the month-to-month plan and whether there is a minimum commitment. If you want some visits by video, ask, since telehealth for medical weight loss is not listed. If you are considering surgery, ask what the self-pay price includes, such as the surgeon, the facility and pre-surgery testing.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are considering weight loss surgery and want a physician-led office that keeps weekday business hours. It also suits someone who wants physician-prescribed injections and can confirm the medication, the monthly total and the cancellation terms before paying. It is a weaker fit if you need evening or weekend appointments, or a program you can run entirely by video.
