Weight Loss Services & Medication

On the Internal Medicine side of our medical practice we have long emphasized the priority of patients achieving and maintaining ideal body weight (IBW). Obesity is the dominant medical crisis in this country across all ages. My position on and solution to this is detailed in my essay, "It's Your Time: Decide to Weigh Normal".

We are proud to introduce an additional weight control service of providing cost-sensitive access to the emerging class of medications, known as GLP-1 and GIP agents, which have gained unparalleled prominence over a short time by their remarkable effectiveness in achieving substantial weight loss.

The recognizable trade names are Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, ZepBound (Mounjaro).

These medications can be obtained from various clinics and even internet services and suppliers outside the U.S. The prohibitive cost of the medications, usually not covered by insurance for weight loss, has driven people to obtain them in desperation from sources with unknown or questionable quality control.

As a reputable 43-year medical practice we aligned ourselves with a U.S.- based and certified compounding pharmacy. The pharmaceutical compounding process allows the medications, though chemically identical to the trade name products, to fall outside the drug patent status of those trade names, and so access to the medications at significantly less cost. We are able to pass on much of those price reductions and savings to our patients. And, our practice standards in providing these medications as well as the protocols for managing your case will clearly align with the excellence in medical practice for which we are known in our community. This will become evident when you review the paperwork we require to enroll you for these services. This is not a fly-by-night operation.

So, if you are interested, feel free to call to request our weight loss services enrollment paperwork, as well as information on costs and our management procedures. I am confident you will be pleased by the cost and reassured by the professionalism of our service.

Sincerely,
Ed Rensimer, MD
