What is Mary Washington Weight Loss Center?
Mary Washington Weight Loss Center is a weight loss practice at 1300 Hospital Dr, Suite 202, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It is part of Mary Washington Healthcare, the health system that runs Mary Washington Hospital. Its main focus is surgical weight loss, also called bariatric surgery. In its own words: "Our team works closely with you to uncover and address core behaviors and thought patterns that might hinder your progress."
The center lists three services: a Weight Loss Center, Surgical Services, and a medical weight loss program. It says it offers the medical program but does not describe what that program involves, which medications it uses, or who runs it.
Dr. Denis Halmi is the only doctor named in connection with the center. A 2021 article about one patient says she booked with him for surgical weight loss. The center does not say who prescribes for the medical weight loss program, and it gives no credentials for Dr. Halmi. Google lists the center as a weight loss service with a 4.2 rating from 19 reviews.
The office is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center says hours are subject to change, so call 540-741-2955 to confirm before you visit.
What does it cost?
The center does not publish prices for its medical weight loss program, its surgical services, or a consultation. It does not say whether it takes cash, bills insurance, offers financing, or accepts HSA funds. It has an insurance information heading, but it does not list which plans it accepts. No medication is named for the medical program, so there is no monthly fee to compare. Ask for the full price in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who prescribes for the medical weight loss program and what credentials that person holds. Ask which medication the program uses, and whether it is a brand-name product or a compounded one. If a monthly fee applies, ask whether it includes the medication. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately.
Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the center does not say. Ask whether the center bills insurance or takes cash, and what a consultation costs for each program. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether any part of the fee is refundable.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are considering surgical weight loss and want a local practice connected to a hospital system. It is a weaker match if you want a medical program with published monthly prices and a named medication, since the center publishes neither.
