What is Lakeshore Women's Specialists?

Lakeshore Women's Specialists is an OB-GYN and women's health practice at 235 Medical Park Road Suite 201 in Mooresville, NC 28117. Its main work is gynecology and women's primary care, and weight loss is one of its services. The services list includes the Annual Well-Woman Exam, birth control, menopause care, ultrasound, Pap smears, mammograms, incontinence care and Weight Loss and Obesity Management Care. Todd J.

The weight loss program combines nutritional planning, fitness education and medication. In its own words: "Our approach to weight loss includes nutritional planning, fitness education, and medication." Its weight management section names phentermine, orlistat, Contrave and Qsymia among the medications it uses. The first visit includes a full assessment, followed by weekly weigh-ins. It does not say which provider leads the program.

Its menopause section covers hormone therapy for hot flashes, but hormone prescribing is not listed as a service of its own.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, or whether it takes insurance. Its weight management section notes that insurance might cover all or some of this kind of treatment, but that is not the same as saying the practice accepts it. It does not mention HSA use, financing, memberships or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which provider prescribes for the weight loss program and who checks your progress. Ask whether any fee covers the medication, and whether each drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the consultation costs, and what follow-up visits and lab work add to the total, since the practice may recommend extra tests after the first visit. Ask whether it accepts your insurance and whether telehealth visits are available, because it does not say. Finally, ask how a program ends and how cancellation works.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want gynecology, primary care and prescription weight loss medication under one roof in Mooresville, and you are ready to get the costs in writing before you commit. Call (704) 658-9211 with the questions above before you book.
