Weight Management/Obesity Medicine

As a Hormone Replacement expert, Dr. Abdullah has advanced knowledge in metabolic and obesity medicine, including the prescription of the hormone-based GLP-1 injectable Ozempic ®.

 

Dr. Abdullah also prescribes all the other injectables within the GLP-1 class, such as Wegovy ®, Trulicity ®, and Mounjaro ®, to ensure that you can get treated in case one of them is in shortage!

 

He also prescribes other obesity and lipotropic medicines such as Phentermine and "Lipo." He believes in practical, effective coaching, not just to achieve quick weight loss but also to ensure long-term weight maintenance. 

​

Dr. Abdullah loves treating obesity and seeing patients bloom into a healthier version of themselves. We don’t take insurance for Dr. Abdullah’s consultation; the first visit is $300, and subsequent visits are $250. 

 

They cost $900--$1300 monthly (depending on which brand we choose and which one is in stock). We still think it’s worth it, as they are very effective and can reduce weight by 10-15 pounds per month, which is stupendous! In 3-4 months, you may achieve the same results as a gastric bypass/bariatric surgery, minus the surgical complications, cost, and chronic vitamin and mineral deficiency that ensues with these surgeries.

 

The health benefits of treating obesity are too many to list. Look at it this way: One cannot live their best life if obese! 

 

We believe in body positivity as a valid and much-needed social movement. Still, obesity is unhealthy and will reduce your life expectancy, and we don’t think that its glamorization is body-positive!

 

With appropriate coaching by Dr. Abdullah, you would not have to be on these expensive medications permanently. The idea here is to coach you effectively while you’re on them so you can maintain weight when you stop them and save money for a nice vacation! Doesn't that sound nice?!

​

Weight loss is no longer an unattainable dream. Skip the fad diets and surgery. Get a medicine that works and get effective coaching. Look cool for the summer!

​

So what's the process?

​

Depends on whether you're a guy or a gal! See below!

Ladies

​

Step 1: Contact us via text or call to request our women's weight management screen. This is a small set of labs (B12, A1c, TSH, T4) that you can complete at any Quest Diagnostics facility in the country or at our office, whichever is more convenient for you. We charge you for these labs, so you don't have to pay for them a higher price at the lab. These must be done before your initial consultation with Dr. Abdullah. We get the results in 3 business days—no need to fast.

Lab screen price: $151.

Please note: We use world-class laboratories with validated methods for accurate results; therefore, we may take 5-7 business days to get them. We appreciate your patience.

​

• We would still need a new set if you had these labs done over two months ago! If done within two months but missing a component, we still kindly ask you to redo them; we apologize for the inconvenience. We want to be thorough. 

 

Step 2: Schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Abdullah; at that point, you will discuss other options for weight loss, diet, exercise, concurrent hormonal imbalances, mental health issues, and the necessity of PMD involvement should we identify organic disease.  

At the end of that first visit, you will schedule 3 monthly visits to adjust your injectable dosing and coach you on diet and exercise. From here on out, you will be seen every four months, four times, then every six months. Some patients will achieve results sooner than others.

Please note that the visit mentioned above frequency may be less or more, depending on tolerance and clinical benefits.

Visit price: Initial visit $300. Subsequent visit: $250. Medicine Price: $900-1300/month.
