What is CMWLS?
CMWLS is a medical weight loss practice led by Dr. Minera, M.D. The practice describes its approach as nonsurgical, for people who need more than diet and exercise alone. Dr. Minera is the only prescriber named. Dr. Minera says the interest in this work started 13 years ago while practicing in primary care.
The listed services are a customized health and wellness plan built in a one-on-one session with Dr. Minera, plus weight loss, strength gaining, metabolic assessment, nutrition coaching, meal planning and behavioral modification. The clinic does not publish a street address or town, so where it sees patients is not confirmed. The phone number is (703) 743-2701.
This listing is for its Gainesville office at 8014 Crescent Park Dr.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a monthly rate. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. On insurance, CMWLS puts it this way: "At CMWLS, we work with your insurance as much as possible." It adds that insurance does not cover one-on-one visits, consultations or planning sessions, but that medication and lab work are submitted to insurance. Payment is by most major credit cards and HSA or FSA cards, with full payment due at the time of service. It states there are no contracts or long-term commitments.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription and how Dr. Minera's role fits your care. Ask whether the medication is in any fee or billed separately, and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since no medications are named. Ask what the first visit costs and whether it is billed to insurance or paid in full that day. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask where the office is, what its hours are, and whether any visits are offered by telehealth, which the clinic does not say. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether you can stop at any point without a fee.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician-led weight loss program with a planning session, you are ready to pay cash for visits, and you have the location, medication costs and cancellation terms confirmed in writing before you pay.
