Our weight loss clinic functions as a specialized center that offers tailored programs and support to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals. Here’s the breakdown of how the weight loss clinic generally operates:
- Initial Assessment: You’ll undergo an initial evaluation where healthcare professionals assess your current health status, weight, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. This assessment helps in designing a personalized weight loss plan.
- Customized Plan: Based on your assessment, the clinic will create a personalized weight loss plan that may include a combination of dietary guidelines, exercise routines, behavioral therapy, and usually prescribe medications or supplements. We will work with your insurance company to prescribe medications which are covered by your policy. However, in the event your insurance does not cover the cost of medications, we have available medication in our office for purchase such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
- Regular Monitoring: You’ll have regular check-ins and monitoring to track progress, adjust the plan if necessary, and provide support and guidance. This involves scheduled office visits typically every 4 weeks, either telehealth (virtual) appointments, in person visits or a mix of both.
- Education and Support: Our providers and team provide education on nutrition, portion control, meal planning, and behavioral strategies to help you make sustainable lifestyle changes. They might also offer counseling or support groups for motivation and accountability.
- Medical Supervision: Our clinic provides access to medical professionals who oversee your progress and address any health concerns or challenges that arise during your weight loss journey.
- Long-term Maintenance: After achieving your weight loss goals, the clinic provides guidance on how to maintain your weight in the long term, offering strategies to prevent weight regain and sustain a healthy lifestyle.

Botox parties are social gatherings where attendees receive Botox injections in a more casual setting, often hosted at a private residence or a specified venue. We can also host them at the office. The location is chosen by the host of the party. A minimum of 5 guests in addition to the host are required. Here’s how they typically work:
- Invitation and RSVP: Hosts send out invitations to friends or acquaintances who are interested in receiving Botox treatments. Attendees confirm their attendance in advance. We do request the host of the party have an estimate on the numbers of attendees so we can prepare accordingly.
- Setting: The party is usually hosted in a relaxed environment like a home or a spa. A licensed medical professional, a Nurse Practitioner trained in administering Botox, is always who will perform the injections.
- Consultation: Before the treatment, each attendee will have a brief consultation with the Nurse Practitioner to discuss their desired outcomes, address any concerns, and ensure they are suitable candidates for Botox.
- Treatment: The medical professional administers the Botox injections to the attendees in a designated area, often a private room or a sectioned-off area for privacy.
- Post-Treatment: After the injections, attendees might socialize, enjoy refreshments, or wait for any initial side effects, like slight redness or swelling, to subside.
- Follow-Up: Depending on the individual’s response to the treatment, they may schedule follow-up appointments for touch-ups or additional treatments.
- Cost: All attendees receive discounted prices. The host of the party will receive treatment at ½ cost for 5-9 guests. Hosts will be treated FREE when they have 10 or more guests.
It’s important to note that although Botox parties can offer a social and relaxed atmosphere for cosmetic treatments, safety and professionalism are never compromised. A qualified and licensed medical professional will always perform the injections in a clean and controlled environment, ensuring proper hygiene and adherence to medical standards. Additionally, individuals should be aware of the potential risks and side effects associated with Botox and make informed decisions about their treatments.
Lipo B12 injections are a combination of ingredients that typically include:
- Vitamin B12: This is a water-soluble vitamin essential for various bodily functions, including energy production, red blood cell formation, and neurological health.
- Lipotropic agents: These are compounds that help break down fat in the body. Common lipotropic agents found in Lipo B12 injections include methionine, inositol, and choline. They’re believed to assist in metabolizing fat, promoting weight loss, and improving overall liver function.
These injections are often marketed as a way to boost energy levels, aid in weight loss efforts by enhancing metabolism, and potentially improve overall health due to the combined effects of B12 and lipotropic agents. You can safely take these injections as often as once weekly.
IV therapy, or intravenous therapy, involves administering fluids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV line. The benefits can vary depending on the specific formulation used and individual health needs. Our medical providers will consult to determine the appropriate medications/vitamins to meet your needs. Here are some potential benefits:
- Hydration: IV therapy delivers fluids directly into the bloodstream, effectively hydrating the body. This can be especially beneficial for individuals who are dehydrated due to illness, intense physical activity, or inadequate fluid intake.
- Nutrient Absorption: IV therapy can provide a quick and efficient way to deliver vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, potentially allowing for better absorption compared to oral supplements, especially for individuals with digestive issues or malabsorption problems.
- Boosted Energy: Some people report feeling increased energy levels after receiving IV therapy, particularly when the formulation includes B vitamins or other energy-boosting nutrients.
- Support During Illness: IV therapy may be used as a supportive treatment during illness or recovery. For instance, it’s sometimes used for rehydration in cases of flu, food poisoning, or other conditions causing dehydration. We may also administer antibiotics, nausea medications, or steroids for acute illness.
As for frequency, how often one can receive IV therapy depends on various factors, including individual health needs, the specific formulation used, and the recommendation of a healthcare provider. Typically, it’s not recommended to have IV therapy too frequently without medical necessity, as excessive use might lead to imbalances or unnecessary nutrient levels in the body. Healthcare professionals can advise on the appropriate frequency based on individual health goals and needs. Most nutrient replacements may be done every 1-2 weeks safely.
