Question 1

How do I choose the right weight loss clinic?

Accepted Answer

Look for a clinic staffed by board-certified physicians, ideally with obesity medicine certification (ABOM). Strong Google ratings mentioning individualized plans, honest expectations, and medical supervision of medications are the most reliable quality signals.

Question 2

What should I expect to pay for medical weight loss treatment?

Accepted Answer

Initial consultations cost $150–$400. Monthly program fees for medically supervised weight loss run $200–$600. GLP-1 medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide) cost $800–$1,400/month without insurance; coverage is expanding. Surgical options (sleeve, bypass) run $15,000–$35,000.

Question 3

How long does medical weight loss treatment typically take?

Accepted Answer

Most patients see 10–15% body weight loss within 3–6 months on GLP-1 medications. Surgical patients typically lose 60–80% of excess weight within 12–18 months. Sustainable results require long-term behavioral and medical support.

Question 4

What questions should I ask before starting a medical weight loss program?

Accepted Answer

Ask about the prescribing physician's credentials (ABOM certification preferred), which medications they prescribe and their approach to managing side effects, whether the program includes nutritional counseling, and their policy if you plateau or want to discontinue.

Question 5

Are weight loss clinics on this directory screened?

Accepted Answer

All listings are sourced from Google Business Profiles and ordered by real Google ratings and review counts. Independently verify the medical director's board certification and state medical license before committing to any program.

Question 6

What if I have a bad experience with a weight loss clinic?

Accepted Answer

Contact the clinic's medical director for any adverse medication reactions — do not discontinue GLP-1 medications abruptly without guidance. File a complaint with your state medical board for standard-of-care concerns. Consult your primary care physician for ongoing management.
