What is The Weigh Station?
The Weigh Station is a physician-led weight loss practice at 1606 Apperson Dr., Salem, VA 24153. You can call (540) 982-0250. It serves patients from Salem and the surrounding area, and its materials name Roanoke, Lynchburg and Danville among the places it serves.
Dr. Justin Lindsey leads the programs and is the one prescriber named. His training includes a medical degree from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and a residency in internal medicine at LewisGale Medical Center.
What is The Weigh Station?
The weight loss programs are the Classic Program, the Plant-Based Whole Food Program, Food Sensitivity Testing and Weight Loss Injections. Wellness services include men's and women's hormone replacement evaluations, body scans, sports physicals, on-site lab testing, IV therapy, and a supplements and shot bar. The hormone plans use bioidentical hormones. The one medication named is semaglutide (Ozempic), prescribed when appropriate. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 to 5:00. Google lists the business at 4.6 from 44 reviews, under weight loss service.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. The practice lists pricing among the things that set it apart, but no price appears for any program, visit or test. It also does not say whether a program's cost includes medication.
The practice does not work directly with insurance providers. Its services are approved for health savings accounts (HSA) and flexible spending accounts. Some insurers cover certain services, which may include weight loss injections, and the practice will provide a form after each visit so you can file a claim. Financing, membership terms and cancellation terms are not listed. Patients who sign up for a weight loss program get free maintenance check-ins once they reach their goal.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether the monthly fee covers semaglutide, lab work and follow-up visits, or whether each is billed on its own. Ask whether the medication is brand-name Ozempic or a compounded version. Ask what the first consultation costs, what a follow-up visit costs, and what its lab work costs.
Ask who writes and renews hormone prescriptions, and which hormones your plan would use. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, because the practice does not say. Ask what the partnership with Star City Medical Inc. covers. Ask whether you commit to a set period and how you cancel.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you can get to the Salem office for check-ins every three months, want physician-led weight loss, and are willing to get the costs in writing before you commit. The practice may recommend injections for a BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, so ask whether you would qualify. In its own words: "Instead, they are an addition to your customized Weigh Station weight loss plan that includes a well-balanced diet and physical exercise." Ask what that plan includes before you decide.
