The clinic describes its medical weight loss work this way: "Medical weight loss is a science-based, physician-supervised approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight." The program is offered to patients in Raleigh, Wakefield and Cary. It may include counseling with a registered dietitian, behavioral health support, activity planning and "Medication management when appropriate." It names no weight loss medications. It describes ideal candidates as patients with a BMI above 28.
Its Google listing shows a 4.3-star rating from 72 reviews.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, and it does not publish a consultation fee, though it offers a Schedule Consultation button. Nothing says whether medication is included in any program fee, or whether insurance is accepted. It lists a Self Pay Program and a payment and insurance page for bariatric surgery, but it does not publish what either costs. Call 919-784-4200 and ask for the numbers before you commit to anything.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who prescribes for the medical weight loss program and what credentials that person holds, since the program description does not name the clinician. Ask whether a monthly fee would include medication, and whether the medication would be brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether dietitian, psychology and medication management visits are part of the program or extra. Ask whether medical weight loss visits can be done by video, and how the cancellation terms work. If surgery is part of your interest, ask what the Self Pay Program covers, including the surgeon's fee, facility charges and follow-up care.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are considering bariatric surgery, or a physician-supervised program with surgeons on staff, and you live in or near Raleigh, Cary or Wakefield or are willing to use video visits. It is a weaker match if you want a medical weight loss program with a named prescriber, a posted price, and a clear list of medications before you book.
