What does it cost?

Slim Down Wellness does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, whether medication is included in its weight loss program, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers financing, a membership, or cancellation terms. Ask about each one before you book. Request the full cost of a typical month, including medication, visits, and any lab work, in writing if you can.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask whether Dr. Oaks reviews your history and signs your prescription, or whether another clinician does. Ask whether any visit can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Ask whether the GLP1’s is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication or whether it is billed on top.

Then ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are required. Ask how cancellation works and whether you pay for appointments you miss. If you are interested in hormone replacement therapy, ask what the first evaluation costs and who manages your treatment. If you want IV therapy, ask when it opens and what it costs. Finally, ask whether any of it is billed to insurance or whether everything is paid in cash.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person weight loss program in Knoxville and are ready to pay out of pocket for the medication and each visit. If you need a price before you commit, call 865-909-7546 first and get the answers in writing before you book.
