Q: What is the age requirement for a weight management plan?

A: You must be at least 18 years old.

​

Q: Do I need to have a consultation if I've been on medications before and just want to transfer to you?

A: YES.

​

Q: Do you accept insurance for weight loss medications?

A: No.  This is the main reason why I am offering a weight management program at Summit.  Insurers have made it incredibly difficult for qualified patients to get these medications.  I am hoping to help those individuals whose insurance does not cover the prescription.

 

​Q: I'm scared of needles.  How will I do this injection?

A: I will have your prescription drawn up for you and will go through how to do this with minimal discomfort.

 

Q: If I am doing well on my prescription, do I have to see you every month?

A: No!  Initially, I like to help my patients with potential side effects and dosage increments.  Once things are stable, I would like to see my patients every 3-4 months.

 

Q: What if I am already getting this prescription from somewhere else and I'm doing ok on it?

A: GREAT!  Keep on doing what you're doing.

 

Q: What if I am unhappy with the program that I am on and want to transfer to you?

A: GREAT!  Set up your consult appointment and we'll go from there.

 

Q: I hear a lot about microdosing.  Do you offer that?

A: This is an individualized plan.  Whether your body needs small doses or therapeutic doses, we'll find what works for you.
