Medication Plans

As part of a comprehensive weight management we offer the medication program. In our Medication program we recommend certain weight loss medications in conjunction with diet and exercise. We dispense certain medications such as Phentermine and Phendimetrizine from our office. Please note that not every patient will qualify for our medication program and even if they do so a lot of patients will chose not to go on medications. We may or may not start the patients on medications from the start on the basis of physician’s evaluation. The eligibility will be determined based on patient’s age and risk factors.

We request Electrocardiogram on the first visit as well as blood tests including CBC, CMP, TSH, Lipid Profile and Urinalysis. Electrocardiogram and the labs should be no more than three months old. Patients are asked to bring their results with them to the first appointment. Patients may continue to follow up with their outside primary care physicians through out their weight loss. Please note the medications may not be FDA approved for the particular purpose or the duration of treatment. We only prescribe the medications within the framework of American Society of Bariatric Physicians Practice Guidelines.
