Medical Weight Loss

Personalized to Your Body and Goals

Your plan isn’t a one-size-fits-all diet. It’s built around your health history, body, lifestyle, and goals — combining personalized assessment, individualized treatment (nutrition, lifestyle changes, and prescription options when appropriate), medical supervision, and goal-focused care.

Have Medicare? | No weight-loss coverage?

No one-size-fits-all program. Your plan starts with a consultation and a review of your medical history, medications, metabolism, and hormonal factors.

  • A local medical team, not an app — Led by Dr. Qureshi. You’ll see Dr. Qureshi or another team provider in person or via telemedicine.

     

  • We work with your insurance — We check benefits, handle prior authorization, and explain self-pay options if needed.

     

  • We treat the whole picture — Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, sleep apnea, and other conditions managed together.

     

  • We stay with you — Regular follow-ups for dose adjustments and a long-term plan.

Have Medicare? You may now qualify for coverage of weight-loss medication.

A new Medicare program covers certain FDA-approved weight-loss medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Foundayo) for eligible Part D patients, with a $50 monthly copay once approved. Eligibility depends on BMI and health criteria. We review eligibility, submit prior authorization, and follow up for you.

Already on a GLP-1? Eligibility is based on your starting BMI — you may still qualify. If you have type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or fatty liver disease, coverage may come through your regular Part D plan instead.

No weight-loss coverage? You still have options.

Office visits and labs may still be covered even if medication isn’t. Options include manufacturer self-pay programs, older oral medications, and compounded GLP-1 medications when your provider determines they’re appropriate — compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Prices vary; we review costs at consultation.

How it works

Online or by phone, whichever’s easier.

We’ll go over your history, medications, and goals together.

A quick blood draw checks your A1c, cholesterol, and thyroid function.

We check your insurance and handle prior authorization.

Start low, build up gradually, with monthly check-ins in-office or by telemedicine.

What's included

  • A real consultation with your provider, not a rushed intake form
  • Baseline labs so your plan is based on your actual numbers
  • Nutrition and activity guidance that works with your life, not against it
  • Monthly check-ins to see how you’re responding and fine-tune your dose
  • Continuous glucose monitoring, when it’s useful, to show how food and daily habits move your blood sugar
  • Help navigating insurance, including the benefits check and prior authorization paperwork

Treatment options

  • Wegovy (semaglutide) — weekly injection or pill; regulates appetite and blood sugar.
  • Zepbound (tirzepatide) — A once-weekly injection that works on two different gut hormone pathways, which can make it especially effective for appetite and blood sugar control.
  •  Foundayo (orforglipron) — A daily pill if you’d rather skip injections altogether; no needles required.
  • Phentermine — A short-term option some patients use for an initial appetite boost, depending on their health history.
  • Contrave (naltrexone/bupropion) — A daily tablet that works on cravings and appetite from a different angle.
  • Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide — For some patients paying out of pocket, your provider may recommend a compounded version when it’s medically appropriate. It’s worth knowing these aren’t FDA-approved and aren’t the same as generic versions of the brand-name drugs — we’ll walk you through exactly how they differ.

Am I a candidate?

Adults with a BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a related condition (high blood pressure, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea). Tell us about pregnancy, thyroid cancer history, pancreatitis, heart disease, seizures, glaucoma, or diabetes/opioid medications. Insurance requirements may be stricter than the label.

Quick BMI Check

Enter your height and weight to calculate your BMI.

BMI is a screening measure and does not diagnose health conditions. Your provider will consider your overall health when determining whether medical weight-loss treatment is appropriate.

What to expect

In clinical trials, adults combining these medications with diet and activity changes lost roughly 15–21% of body weight over about 16 months, varying by medication and dose. Results vary; many regain weight after stopping. [Pending Dr. Qureshi’s verification.]
