About Dr. S Weightloss & Wellness

What is Dr. S Weightloss & Wellness?

Dr. S Weightloss & Wellness is a physician-led practice whose main focus is weight care, with a diabetes program alongside it. In its own words: "Dr. S runs a dedicated weight loss clinic, committed to helping patients with and without Diabetes reach their weight and health goals." The prescribers named are Nachida Hamidi, MD, ABOM, MD, and Kendra Core, PA-C, PA-C.

The weight care program pairs physician visits with monthly follow-up from the medical team, plus coaching sessions with a health coach every week or every two weeks. The prescriber chooses the medication to fit each patient. Medications named include Wegovy, Wegovy Pill, Zepbound, Saxenda, Contrave, Metformin, Qsymia and Phentermin. The diabetes program covers type 1 and type 2 diabetes and names continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps among its tools. All visits are done by telehealth.

Google shows a 4.8 rating from 233 reviews in the weight loss service category. No street address, city or service area is published, and it does not say how long it has been open. Hormone, peptide and longevity care are not among its services. To reach the practice, call 252-227-0080.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for its programs. The membership fee is $0, but it does not say whether medication is included in the program cost, and no consultation fee is published. On insurance, it says: "We accept major insurances and most of our visits could be done virtually for your convenience." Financing and HSA use are not described. The cancellation policy is 48 hours. Ask for the full monthly total before you book, not just the $0 membership fee.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will manage your care and who signs each prescription. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, and if it does not, what each medication costs on top of it. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since that is not stated. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and where blood is drawn when all visits are by telehealth. Ask whether coaching is part of the fee. It offers a free lifestyle coaching program to callers, so ask what qualifies. Ask how the 48-hour cancellation policy works and whether any charge applies after that window. If you plan to use insurance, ask whether your plan covers both the visits and the prescription. If you have diabetes, ask what the glucose monitoring and insulin pump services cost.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led weight care program you can do entirely by telehealth, and you are ready to get the full monthly total and medication terms in writing before you book. It is not the match if you are looking for hormone, peptide or longevity care, which it does not offer.
