Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our medical weight loss program.

Medical weight loss is physician-supervised and takes a comprehensive approach to weight management. We conduct thorough evaluations to identify underlying medical issues, hormonal imbalances, or metabolic factors affecting your weight. Treatment is personalized and may include prescription medications, metabolic testing, nutrition guidance, and ongoing medical monitoring.

Your initial evaluation includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, body composition analysis, metabolic assessment, lab work to check hormones and metabolic markers, review of previous weight loss attempts, and discussion of your goals and lifestyle. This helps us create a truly personalized treatment plan.

Depending on your evaluation, we may prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications such as GLP-1 agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide), appetite suppressants, or other medications that support metabolic health. All medications are prescribed and monitored by Dr. Shabout to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Weight loss varies by individual and depends on multiple factors including starting weight, adherence to the program, and chosen treatment approach. With medical weight loss programs, patients typically lose 10-20% of their body weight over several months, which is clinically significant and sustainable.

Medical weight loss is an ongoing program tailored to your needs. We provide long-term support to help you maintain your results and develop sustainable healthy habits.

To provide each patient with the time and attention necessary to treat in an integrative manner, we cannot accept insurance. We may be able to take HSA or FSA payments depending on the provider. Please confirm with the office beforehand. We will provide documentation of your visit that you may be able to submit to your insurance carrier.
