Considering an evaluation
Who may want an evaluation?
This direct physician visit may be useful for patients seeking medical guidance around weight-management options. It is a place to ask questions and consider whether a medication discussion belongs in your care, not a promise that a particular approach will be right for you.
Individual context matters.
Candidacy depends on medical history, current medications, contraindications, and a clinician's assessment. The visit can also help identify when another approach or referral may be more appropriate.

Important safety
Prescription medicines need individualized review.
GLP-1 medicines are prescription drugs and are not right for everyone. Please share your personal and family health history and all medications with your clinician. New or urgent symptoms should receive urgent or emergency care; this page is not for urgent concerns.
This page provides general education and care-access information only. It is not individualized medical advice and does not establish a patient relationship.
