Common questions.
Do you prescribe weight loss medication?
We evaluate whether medication-assisted weight loss is appropriate for each patient based on their health history, BMI, and risk factors. If medication is right for you, we'll discuss options together.
Is the program covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover medical weight management visits, especially when there's a related diagnosis like obesity or diabetes. Call us at 240-332-4439 to check your specific coverage.
How long does the program last?
Weight management is ongoing. Most patients start with monthly check-ins and adjust the cadence as they progress. There's no arbitrary end date; we stay involved as long as you need.
Will I see the same provider each time?
Yes. Consistency is important for weight loss. You'll see the same provider who knows your history and your goals.
Can weight loss help my diabetes or blood pressure?
Yes, often significantly. We'll coordinate your weight loss care with any chronic condition management to make sure your plan works together, not at cross-purposes.
