Who is this practice for?+
Adults in Arizona seeking physician-led support for primary care, weight management, metabolic health, and healthier aging through virtual or in-person visits when appropriate.
Do you offer adult primary care?+
Yes. Adult primary care includes preventive care and management of conditions such as high blood pressure, cholesterol concerns, and type 2 diabetes. Call 602-638-1905 to discuss your needs, confirm visit fees, and arrange an appointment. Primary care is offered on a cash-pay, per-visit basis; the Medication Care membership is for weight-management treatment.
Do you offer both in-person and virtual appointments?+
Yes. AZ Weight & Metabolic Health offers a convenient hybrid model with in-person appointments at our Mesa office and secure virtual appointments throughout Arizona. You may choose the setting that works best for you while receiving the same personalized, physician-led care.
What is the free 15-minute consultation?+
It is a complimentary introductory conversation to learn about your goals, answer general questions about the practice, and help you decide whether our care is a good fit. It is not a full medical evaluation or treatment visit.
Does everyone receive weight-loss medication?+
No. Medication is considered only after an individual medical evaluation. Your plan may include medication, lifestyle treatment, or both based on your needs and clinical eligibility.
What if my insurance does not cover a GLP-1 medication?+
Insurance coverage for weight-management medications varies. When clinically appropriate, we can discuss alternatives such as manufacturer self-pay or savings programs, other FDA-approved weight-management medications, and individualized pharmacy options when legally permitted. We will review the potential benefits, risks and expected costs so you can make an informed decision.
Are medications included in the appointment fee?+
No. The appointment fee covers your physician evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Medications and laboratory testing are purchased separately. Medication prices are determined by the manufacturer, pharmacy and insurance plan and may change.
Do you prescribe compounded GLP-1 medications?+
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not appropriate for every patient. They may be considered only after an individualized medical evaluation and when clinically appropriate and legally permitted. Availability is not guaranteed.
What happens during the first visit?+
Your first visit is a comprehensive conversation about your health history, goals, prior efforts, medications, and metabolic risk factors. Together, we identify priorities and next steps.
