What is Diabetes and Endocrinology Associates of Stark County, Inc.?
It is an endocrinology practice in Canton, Ohio, and it has served the area since 1970. Its core work is diabetes, thyroid and other endocrine and metabolic care.

What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee, and it does not say whether any program price includes medication. It does not name any weight loss medication. The program combines exercise, dietary changes including meal replacements, supplements and regular monitoring. It starts with an initial evaluation with Dr. Krishna, then a 15-day follow-up and monthly visits until the weight loss goal is met. A coach re-tests body composition at each visit.
In its own words: "we accept Medicare and most major insurance plans." It does not say whether insurance covers the weight management program.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription if a weight loss medication becomes part of your plan, since the program does not name one. Ask whether any program fee includes medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask the total cost of the 15-day follow-up, each monthly visit, the body composition testing and any lab work.
If you are already a patient, Dr. Krishna also adjusts your diabetes and other medications during the program. Ask whether that visit is billed separately. Ask whether telehealth is available, because the practice does not state it. Ask whether insurance covers any part of the program, and how to cancel or stop once you reach your goal or decide to end it.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you already have diabetes or another endocrine condition and want weight care from the practice that manages it. It also makes sense if you want a physician-supervised program and are not a patient, since non-patients are welcome to join. Ask for the full cost before you commit.
