About Rochester Medical Weight Loss

What is Rochester Medical Weight Loss?

Rochester Medical Weight Loss is a physician-led weight loss practice at 61C Monroe Ave. in Pittsford, NY 14534. It names Rochester, Pittsford and Monroe County as the areas it serves. Care is in person, led by Dr. Rachel Conley, MD, who is board-certified in internal medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She is the only prescriber the clinic names.

The practice offers four services. Medication-Assisted Weight Loss uses GLP-1 medicines, and the clinic names semaglutide, tirzepatide and Ozempic®. Nutrition Support covers full meal replacement, partial meal replacement or a whole-food plan. The New Direction® Program is a medically monitored, structured meal replacement option using New Direction® products. Body composition tracking follows fat and lean mass and body water over time. Office hours are Monday 10am to 6pm and Wednesday and Thursday 9am to 5pm. It is not a substitute for a primary care physician. Its Google listing shows a 4.7 rating from 15 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. That covers the consult, the monthly program, the medication and lab work. The consult is described as complimentary. In its own words: "Your complimentary consult helps us understand your goals and real life." The clinic does not say whether medication is included in its fees, whether it accepts insurance, or whether telehealth is available. Ask about each of these before you book, and ask for the cancellation terms in writing, since none are published.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription, and whether Dr. Conley sees you at each visit or whether other staff handle follow-up. Then ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is billed separately. The clinic publishes a comparison of compounded and FDA-approved GLP-1s, so ask which kind you would receive and how that affects the price.

Ask what the starting visit costs in full. The starting visit includes an exam, labs, an EKG when appropriate and a starting plan, so ask what each of those costs, along with the ongoing visits. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, since care is described as in person and video is not mentioned. Ask whether it takes insurance or accepts HSA funds or financing. Finally, ask how cancellation works and what happens to your plan and any medication if you stop.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led, in-person oversight of a weight loss plan, and you are ready to pay the clinic's fees yourself after getting the costs in writing. It is not the right choice if you need a primary care doctor, since it is not a substitute for one.
