A free initial weight-loss consultation at Precision Health is a focused conversation about your health, goals, previous attempts, and realistic care options. It is not a sales presentation, and it does not obligate you to join a program or start medication. The purpose is to determine whether our physician-led approach fits your needs and what evaluation should come next.
I see patients at our one physical office at 2751 Buford Hwy, Suite 290, Atlanta, GA 30324, convenient to Buckhead, Brookhaven, and surrounding Atlanta communities. Georgia residents may also be eligible for telehealth when that visit format is clinically appropriate.
Before the visit
Bring a current medication and supplement list, major medical diagnoses, allergies, and any recent laboratory results you have. If you track weight, blood pressure, sleep, glucose, food intake, or activity, that information can help, but you do not need a perfect record.
Think about what you actually want to change. A scale goal is useful, but so are goals such as walking without knee pain, improving energy, lowering diabetes risk, sleeping better, or feeling comfortable in your clothes. Good medical weight-loss care should connect treatment to your life rather than reducing your health to one number.
You do not need to fast for the free consultation. If we later recommend fasting laboratory work, we will give specific instructions.
The conversation starts with your story
I typically ask when weight became difficult, what has worked temporarily, what caused regain, and which barriers are present now. Those barriers may include hunger, shift work, caregiving, poor sleep, pain, stress, menopause, medication effects, or limited access to practical food choices.
We also review conditions that can influence treatment:
- diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol;
- sleep apnea symptoms or diagnosed sleep apnea;
- thyroid disease and other endocrine concerns;
- heart, kidney, liver, gallbladder, or gastrointestinal disease;
- anxiety, depression, eating-disorder history, or substance use;
- pregnancy plans and reproductive health;
- previous weight-loss medicines, procedures, and side effects.
This history matters because obesity is a chronic disease with biological, behavioral, environmental, and social contributors. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases explains that evaluation and treatment should account for health risks and individual circumstances, not rely on willpower alone.
What the free visit does—and does not—include
The consultation is designed to establish direction. Depending on the visit format and your needs, we may discuss current measurements, risk factors, nutrition patterns, activity, sleep, and possible next steps. A complete physical examination, diagnostic workup, laboratory draw, or medication prescription may require a separate clinical visit.
I will explain the difference between lifestyle support, medical monitoring, nutrition care, laboratory testing, and prescription treatment. If a concern needs another clinician—such as a sleep specialist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, or eating-disorder professional—I will say so.
No responsible physician can promise a specific number of pounds or approve medication before evaluation. Membership and medication are available only after a physician determines eligibility; not everyone qualifies.
Will we discuss GLP-1 medications?
We can discuss them if they are relevant, but the consultation is not automatically a GLP-1 visit. These medications can be appropriate for some adults when combined with nutrition, activity, and follow-up. They also have contraindications, warnings, side effects, access issues, and monitoring needs.
If medication is clinically appropriate, the physician determines the treatment pathway and works with reputable pharmacies after evaluation. We do not choose a medicine solely because it is popular online.
The FDA’s overview of medications for chronic weight management emphasizes that prescription medicines should be used under professional care and alongside lifestyle changes.
What could the next step cost?
The initial weight-loss consultation is free. If you decide to proceed and are eligible, current options include:
- Digital membership: $49 per month
- Weight loss membership: $99 per month
- Single-Pathway GLP-1: $298 per month total ($99 membership + $199 medication add-on)
- Dual-Action GLP-1: $398 per month total ($99 membership + $299 medication add-on)
- Ultimate Success: $265 for a lifestyle pathway without a GLP-1 add-on
- Nutrition care: $75 per session
- Weight/Metabolic Lab Panel: $299
- GLP-1 Monitoring Lab Panel: $179
The right next step may be none of these. We may recommend obtaining records, addressing an urgent issue, completing labs, or seeing another clinician first. Prices describe available services, not a guarantee of eligibility or a recommendation for every patient.
What I want you to leave with
You should leave understanding your likely next step, why it makes sense, what it costs, and what questions remain. You should never feel pressured to make a same-day decision.
The CDC’s healthy-weight guidance supports gradual, sustainable changes involving nutrition, activity, sleep, and stress management. My job is to help translate those broad principles into a medically sound plan you can live with.
Frequently asked questions
Is the first weight-loss visit really free?
Yes. The initial consultation is free. Labs, diagnostic services, memberships, nutrition visits, medications, and follow-up clinical care have separate prices when selected.
Do I need to live in Buckhead?
No. Our office is at 2751 Buford Hwy, Suite 290, Atlanta, GA 30324. We serve patients from Buckhead, Brookhaven, Atlanta, and elsewhere, and telehealth may be available to Georgia residents.
Will I receive a prescription at the free consultation?
Not necessarily. A prescription is never guaranteed. Medication is considered only after sufficient clinician evaluation and a determination that you are eligible.
Do I need recent labs?
No, but bring them if you have them. We may use recent, relevant results or recommend targeted testing rather than repeating everything.
Can I choose between in-person and telehealth?
Often, but not always. Visit format depends on Georgia residency, the clinical question, available measurements, and whether an examination or on-site testing is needed.
What if I am not ready for medication?
That is completely acceptable. Medical weight loss can include nutrition, activity, sleep, behavior change, laboratory evaluation, and ongoing accountability without medication.
