What is Valley Weight Loss Clinic?
Valley Weight Loss Clinic is a medical weight management practice at 4450 31st Avenue South, Suite 102, in Fargo, North Dakota. It was founded in 2005, and its main work is medically monitored weight loss. Brent Hella, MD and Susan Hanson are the two people listed as prescribers.
It offers three services. Medical Monitoring is for people whose other health conditions can affect their weight. Metabolism Testing shows each person their daily calorie needs. Prescription Weight Loss Medications are the third service, and metformin is the only medication it names. On that service, it says: "Through careful assessment an discussion with patients, our providers identify the best medication options for each individual."
It offers free weight checks to patients in active weight loss, transition or maintenance, with a Tanita body composition printout. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 5 reviews. It is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 to 5:00, and Friday, 8:00 to 1:30. The phone number is 701-365-8446.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, whether it accepts insurance, or what its packages include and how cancellation works. Its contact page says "we have designed options and packages to fit your needs and goals" and invites visitors to schedule an Informational Visit to learn more.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes your prescription and who you would see at follow-up visits. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since neither is stated. Ask which medications it prescribes beyond metformin, and what the consultation, metabolism testing, follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether it offers telehealth, since no virtual visits are mentioned. Ask whether it accepts insurance, and how you cancel or pause a program. Ask whether it takes patients from outside the Fargo area, since no service area is stated.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in or near Fargo, can make in-person visits during its weekday hours, and want a practice that prescribes weight loss medication alongside monitoring and metabolism testing. It is worth calling before you book if you want the price, the insurance answer and the medication details in writing first.
