About Weight Loss Physicians

What is Weight Loss Physicians?

Weight Loss Physicians is a physician-led medical weight loss clinic at 920 S Winton Rd, Suite 101, Rochester, NY 14618. Dr. Maysaa Hameed, M.D. (ABIM/ABOM), is a board-certified obesity medicine specialist and the practice's founder. She creates and oversees every plan. The phone number is (585) 649-0600.

The practice offers six services: Physical Activity, Nutrition, Medical Therapy, Behavior Services, Bariatric Care, and Preoperative Weight Loss. Medical Therapy starts with a review of the medications you already take, and it can include FDA-approved medications when Dr. Hameed judges them appropriate. Bariatric Care covers weight management before and after a bariatric procedure. Preoperative Weight Loss is aimed at people who need to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement.

A typical start is a short online questionnaire and a BMI check, followed by an initial evaluation with Dr. Hameed, either in Rochester or by secure telehealth visit. Ongoing check-ins follow. Its services are designed for people with a BMI of 25 or higher. It also offers telehealth to patients in other states. In its own words: "Due to U.S. rules and regulations, we currently offer telehealth services in 3 states: New York, Maryland, and Virginia." Google shows a rating of 5 from 27 reviews.

This listing is for its Rochester office at 920 S Winton Rd Ste 101.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, a membership price, whether medication is included in any monthly charge, or whether it accepts insurance. Ask for each of these figures before you commit to anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription. Dr. Hameed is named as the physician overseeing each plan, so ask whether she signs every prescription herself and who handles your care when she is unavailable.

Next, ask whether the monthly fee includes medication. If it does not, ask what the medication costs on its own. Ask whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, since that is not stated.

Then ask for the full cost of the first consultation, follow-up visits, and lab work. Ask whether telehealth visits cost the same as in-person visits. Ask whether insurance is accepted and whether an HSA card can be used.

Finally, ask how to cancel, whether there is a minimum commitment, and what happens to your plan if you stop. If you live outside New York, Maryland, or Virginia, telehealth will not apply, so ask what in-person care would cost.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Rochester or in New York, Maryland, or Virginia, you meet the clinic's BMI guideline of 25 or higher, and you want a physician to lead your plan. If you need a price in writing before you book, call (585) 649-0600 first, because none is published.
