What is Bariatric Specialists of the Carolinas?
Bariatric Specialists of the Carolinas is mainly a weight loss surgery practice. It was founded in 2002 as what it calls the North Carolina Triangle's first private weight loss surgery center. Its one open office, listed as Raleigh, has a Cary address. It lists Greensboro, Charlotte, Wilmington and Asheville as coming soon, and it serves patients across North Carolina from its open office.
Its team includes Dr. Paul Enochs, FACS, MD, Dr. Scott Bovard, FACS, MD, Jaime Bull, PA-C, and Jennifer Schilling, RN. It offers sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, SADI, duodenal switch, magnetic anastomosis, revisional procedures, robotic bariatric surgery and a self-pay bariatric program. Its medical weight loss material names Wegovy (semaglutide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), Saxenda (liraglutide) and the Wegovy oral tablet. In its own words: "Fortunately, today, we also offer endoscopic and medical weight-loss options when surgery just doesn't fit your needs." Hormone therapy, peptide therapy and longevity medicine are not among its services.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for medical weight loss or for its self-pay bariatric program. It does not list a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in any program cost. It is a provider for the North Carolina State Health Plan and Lantern's Network of Excellence, and it offers bariatric surgery at no cost to eligible members of those plans. Outside those plans, you will need to ask for every number.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription for medical weight loss. The practice does not say which of its team members prescribes that medication. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether it is the brand-name drug or a compounded version. Ask for the consultation fee and the cost of follow-up visits and lab work.
Ask whether the first visit is with a surgeon, and whether a medical weight loss visit is booked separately. It does not say whether it offers telehealth, so ask if visits can be done by video. Ask how a self-pay program is canceled and what your membership terms are. Its hours are not listed, so ask for those too.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are weighing weight loss surgery against a medication plan and want a surgical consultation before you choose. If you need a published monthly price or telehealth visits, ask for those before you commit. If you are eligible under the North Carolina State Health Plan, the no-cost surgery offer makes it worth a call.
