About James R. Tryon MD, PC | Edmee Rodriguez, MD

What is James R. Tryon MD, PC?

James R. Tryon MD, PC is an internal medicine practice at 4105 Montgomery Boulevard Northeast, Albuquerque, NM 87109. Edmee Rodriguez, M.D. is the one physician named as prescriber. The office describes her as a board-certified internal medicine and obesity specialist. She earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Puerto Rico and a medical degree from Ponce Health Sciences University, then completed her internal medicine residency at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. The office says she has been helping patients in the community since 2004.

The practice is mainly a concierge internal medicine practice, which means it accepts only a limited number of patients. Its listed services are hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, COPD, thyroid disease, diabetes, internal medicine services, weight loss, and concierge medicine. Weight loss is one of those nine services, not the whole practice.

The weight loss support includes nutrition guidance, exercise recommendations, counseling, and body composition analysis. In its own words: "Dr. Rodriguez provides medical supervision during your weight loss." For patients with a chronic condition such as diabetes or hypertension, the office says treatment plans are adjusted as they lose weight, including medication dosages. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, and the phone number is 505-395-5487.

What does it cost?

The one published price is a concierge fee of $2,500 a year for primary care. The office says "Concierge medicine offers primary care at a fixed yearly fee of $2,500." That fee covers primary care. The practice does not publish a price for its weight loss program, and it does not say whether weight loss medication is offered or included.

The consultation is described as free and confidential, but no consultation fee appears on the site. The office says it accepts most insurance providers and does not name the carriers. It does not mention telehealth, HSA use, or financing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs any weight loss prescription. The only prescriber named is Dr. Rodriguez, so ask whether anyone else on the team prescribes. Ask whether a weight loss medication is offered, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether it is included in any fee.

Ask what the weight loss program costs on its own, since the $2,500 fee covers primary care. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work, and body composition analysis cost, and whether telehealth is available for follow-up. Ask which insurance carriers are accepted, and whether a weight loss visit is billed to insurance or paid in cash alongside the concierge fee.

Finally, ask how the membership is canceled, and whether any part of the yearly fee is refunded if you leave early.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one physician to manage weight goals alongside ongoing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disease, and a fixed yearly fee with direct access works for your budget. If you need a published weight loss price before you call, this practice does not show one, so plan on a phone call first.
