Modern Medical Options to Help Where Needed
Obesity is a disease and medical treatments are available to improve metabolism, regulate hunger, increase satiety (sense of fullness), and to reduce cravings. That’s right, It’s not your fault. There is more to it than calories in, and calories out. Help is available.

With one-on-one support every step of the way, Dr. David provides comprehensive weight loss plans, individually personalized for each patient.

How to Work with Me
Initial Body Composition Consult
$97
Come in for a short visit (15-20 minutes) to learn more about me and my program. You will have your first measurements taken on a medical Body Composition Analyzer scale.
With this state-of-the-art equipment, I will provide you with accurate:
- body mass index (BMI)
- basal metabolic rate
- body fat percentage
- muscle mass
- total body water weight
- and more information about your body
You will receive a print-out of your results with my analysis, some helpful tips, as well as a summary of my program and pricing.
There is no obligation to you after this visit. If you decide to start the program, you will be scheduled to begin the Medical Clearance & Phase 1 of the program.
Medical Clearance & Phase 1
$1560 for first 5 visits
$390/month months 2-6
At your first medical appointment, we will discus your weight history, past medical and surgical history, and perform an exam. You will be provided with materials that we will review together.
We will meet weekly for the first month. The first two appointments will be 50 minutes each. The remaining 3 appointments will be 25 minutes each.
After the first month, visits will decrease in frequency to every other week for months 2-6 of treatment. During these visits, I will continue to customize your care to meet your specific needs at the time that you need it most.
Phases 2 & 3 – Transition & Maintenance
$195/per visit
Once you have completed at least 6 months of active weight loss, PHASE 2 helps you transition toward maintenance. Typically, visit frequency will decrease to a monthly basis for the next 6 months. However, you may choose to have a different visit frequency and continue every 2-6 weeks. Your care will continue to be customized to fit your needs.
During PHASE 3 we will work together to ensure that you are able to maintain the weight you have already lost. Visit frequency is determined on a case by case basis. Some clients continue at the same frequency as in Phase 2, most prefer to be seen every other month, and a few come in every 3 months. From start to finish, the program is individually structured to fit each patient.
“Through regular visits, we will be able to celebrate the good weeks, and work through your struggles during the more challenging weeks. It is during the difficult weeks that our visits are most valuable to help guide you through and continue your progress.”

Do you accept insurance?
Dr. David’s office does not process insurance claims. All payment is due at time of service.
However, you might be able to get reimbursed for your visits with Dr. David. It’s important to know that not all insurance companies cover medical weight loss services, so you’ll want to check your coverage.
It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company about coverage and reimbursement.
I am considered an out of network provider (not an option for Medicare).
Many insurers will reimburse you for your medical visits with Dr. David, even if they do not specifically cover weight management. This varies by insurance and your deductible amount. Many people have gotten 30-80% of fees paid back. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company to determine the specifics of your coverage for an out of network provider.
Starting with the Medical Clearance/Phase 1 visits, you will get the required documentation needed so you can submit the superbill to your insurance company (not an option for Medicare) or FSA administrator. This will be sent to you through the Charm portal after your visits are completed.
What is the typical weight loss and how long does it take?
Every patient has a unique metabolic health profile and weight loss goals. This is not a “one size fits all” program, and the amount of pounds varies from one person to the next.
However, my patients lose an average of 15% of their starting body weight and successfully maintain that weight loss.
