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 are able to get treated in case one of them is in shortage!

 

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

​

We will also address concurrent mental disorders such as treatment-resistant depression and food cravings and assess your candidacy for Ketamine therapy. Ketamine has shown great promise in treating depression and cravings, without the side effects of traditional SSRIs such as Prozac and Lexapro that cause increased appetite and weight gain.

 

Dr. Abdullah loves treating obesity and seeing how patients bloom into a happier 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, but 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 could maintain your weight when you stop them and save your money for a nice vacation! Doesn't that sound really nice?!

​

Weight loss is no longer an unattainable dream. Skip the fad diets and surgery. Get a medicine that works and get coaching that's effective. 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 either get done at any LabCorp 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:

• If you had these labs done over 2 months ago, we would still need a new set! If done within 2 months but missing a component, we still kindly ask you to redo them; we apologize for the inconvenience but we want to be thorough. 

• If you are of reproductive age, we need a negative pregnancy test. You need to bring that to us on the day of your initial visit with Dr. Abdullah. WE CANNOT PRESCRIBE ANYTHING TO YOU WITHOUT A negative PREGNANCY TEST! 

 

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 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 4 months 4 times, then every 6 months. Some patients will achieve results sooner than others.

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