Medical weight loss with a doctor who follows through

Losing weight is hard, and no one should have to do it alone. Here, weight is cared for like any other part of your health: a plan built around you, medication when it is appropriate, and a doctor who checks in, listens and adjusts with you along the way.

Why lose weight with your family doctor

Medical supervision, not a subscription

GLP-1 medications are powerful and deserve careful oversight. Here they are prescribed and followed by a physician who knows your full history.

Whole-health view

Weight is connected to blood pressure, sugar, sleep and mood. All of it is managed together.

Honest expectations

We will talk openly about what is realistic, what side effects to expect and what happens when treatment ends.

Support that continues

Members can reach Dr. Metzger between visits with questions about side effects, dosing, or simply a hard week.

Common questions

Am I a candidate for GLP-1 medication?

It depends on your weight, health history and goals. Dr. Metzger will review these with you and explain the options, including whether medication makes sense at all.

How often will I be seen?

Typically every few weeks at the start while dosing is adjusted, then less often once things are stable.

Is weight loss treatment covered by insurance?

Coverage for GLP-1 medications varies widely by plan. Our office will help you understand your options and pricing before you begin.

What happens when I stop the medication?

Some weight regain is common, which is why nutrition, movement and follow-up are part of the plan from day one.
