Epic Heart And Vascular Care

About Epic Heart And Vascular Care

What is Epic Heart And Vascular Care?

Epic Heart And Vascular Care is a heart and vascular practice with several offices. It calls itself a primary care multispecialty practice and lists services that include adult primary care, vein care, infusion therapy, walk-in care and a Weight Loss Clinic. Weight loss is one service among many, not the practice's main focus.

The weight loss program is physician guided and offers FDA-approved medications. It names semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic), tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) and liraglutide (Saxenda) as injectables, and phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia), naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave) and orlistat (Alli, Xenical) as oral options. Alongside the medication, it offers nutritional counseling from registered dietitians, an exercise plan from certified personal trainers, and behavioral support. In its own words: "These are prescribed and monitored by our licensed medical professionals."

Dr. Rishi Bajaj is the one physician the clinic names, and he is a cardiologist. It does not name the physician who prescribes the weight loss medications.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss program, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee. It does not state membership terms, follow-up costs or cancellation terms. It accepts all major insurances, but it does not say whether that covers weight loss medication. It invites readers to get a free consultation, though it does not say whether that applies to the weight loss program. Ask for the full cost of your first visit, the medication and the follow-up before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which practice you would be paying. Some of the weight loss pages carry the name RB Health rather than Epic Heart And Vascular Care.

Ask who prescribes the medication and whether that physician reviews your case before the first prescription.

Ask whether the medication is included in any monthly or program fee, and whether it is a brand-name product or a compounded version.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether your insurer will pay for weight loss medication at all.

Ask whether telehealth is offered. It does not say.

Ask how you cancel and whether you owe anything if you stop partway through.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already see a cardiologist or vein specialist at one of these offices and want weight loss care under the same roof. It also suits you if you are willing to get the prices and prescriber details in writing before you pay anything.
