About Forward Weight and Wellness

What is Forward Weight and Wellness?

Forward Weight and Wellness is a medical weight management practice in Westlake, Ohio. Its office is at 159 Crocker Park Blvd, Suite 400, Westlake, Ohio 44145, and the phone number is 216-815-1624. Latonya Fore-Williams, APRN, DNP, NP-C, founded the practice and is the only prescriber it names. She also holds a certificate of advanced education in obesity medicine.

Its listed services are medical weight loss, bariatric surgery wellness, anti-obesity medications, nutritional guidance, physical activity coaching and behavioral support. The medications it names are semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, tirzepatide, naltrexone-bupropion and metformin. In its own words: "We offer weight loss and weight maintenance programs, including weight loss medications." Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 10 reviews.

What does it cost?

The only price it publishes is $100 for a one-hour consultation, booked online. It does not publish prices for its programs or medications, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee. It names Medical Mutual of Ohio, Anthem Blue Cross, and Cigna as accepted insurance, and its wider list also includes Caresource, Medicaid and United Healthcare. It mentions self-pay options but gives no self-pay prices. It says nothing about membership terms, cancellation, financing or HSA use.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes your prescription and who sees you at check-ins. The practice describes regular check-ins with a medical provider but names only one clinician. Ask whether the $100 consultation is a video visit or an in-person appointment, because the booking is marked "Available Online" and nothing more. Ask whether there is a monthly program fee, whether it includes the medication, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. It mentions FDA-approved therapies but does not say which form you would receive.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how you cancel. Ask what happens to the $100 if no prescription results. Ask which insurer on its list is yours, since its insurance lists do not match.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Ohio, since the practice is licensed to see only Ohio residents. It is also a fit if you meet its BMI thresholds of 30 or higher, or 27 to 29.9 with a weight-related complication, and want a nurse practitioner to lead a program that pairs medication with nutrition, activity and behavioral support. If you need prices in writing or a clear answer about video visits before you pay, get those answers first.
