1. We obtain an extensive history from you to understand the important aspects of your medical, surgical, family, social, lifestyle history unlike many other weight loss clinics that rush you out in 5 minutes selling you some pills at exorbitant prices without any education or offering multiple available new options.
  2. We insist on following the applicable state and federal medical practice laws as well as upholding the Obesity Patient Bill of Rights endorsed by almost 50 organizations by mid 2024 (the number increasing weekly).
  3. Our doctors will review your annual labs as required by medical practice standard of care to understand your blood chemistry, liver-kidney function, assess your risks for heart disease and diabetes, and to identify other medical conditions leading to obesity or result from obesity. We will not only perform in-house tests to comply with KY law 201 KAR 9:260 (baseline urine drug test) when required, but also other tests such as ECG, rapid pregnancy test, cholesterol profile and blood glucose test when appropriate for your care. Some tests like pregnancy tests are performed monthly and many are every 3-months or longer to monitor your progress. Many of our inhouse tests cost minimal or are free of charge. You are not automatically denied prescriptions if you test positive for substances that you have reported as using, that are prescribed to you by your healthcare provider or legal in your state of residence (e.g. OH, KY, IN).
  4. The doctor will provide a detailed consultation and assessment and answer any questions you may have. Based on your individual parameters such as Gender, Height, Weight, Age; our own Statistical Model analyzes your current BMI, lean body mass, body fat percentages, and recommends a specific customized caloric restriction to lose a certain amount of weight every month. We also show you how to lose weight faster by being reasonably more aggressive about diet and exercise, and show you what are unrealistic and unhealthy expectations and the reasoning behind it. The model shows you a Recommended Healthy Weight Goal, Goal BMI, and projects a date by which to reach your goal in a worst case scenario, but most patients can beat that by months. Not just that, but our model is powerful enough to show you how to maintain your newly achieved healthy weight and what is the exact trigger that you will start regaining all that lost weight. We show you how to keep the weight off.
  5. Unlike many other clinics, we also offer to collaborate with your PCP (with your permission only) or treat common medical conditions such as High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, preDiabetes, PCOS, Metabolic Syndrome, and treat any side effects of weight loss medications by prescribing and dispensing medications at a low cost to our patients. This is particularly helpful to our patients who do not have insurance or a Primary Care Provider.
