How the program works

  1. 1

    Full evaluation

    A face-to-face visit with Dr. Vo, including a complete physical exam, an EKG and lab work, to make sure the plan is safe for you.

  2. 2

    Your personal plan

    A treatment plan tailored to you, plus practical guidance on nutrition and activity. Not everyone is a candidate for medication; Dr. Vo decides after your evaluation.

  3. 3

    Monthly consultations

    Each month, pay the $80 consultation fee online and submit your monthly form through our patient portal with your weight, blood pressure and any side effects. After Dr. Vo reviews it, your prescription is sent to the pharmacy of your choice. Prefer face to face? Book an optional in-office visit ($145) instead.

  4. 4

    Yearly visit

    Everyone in the program is seen in the clinic at least once a year, with an EKG and lab work, to continue treatment.

Good to know

  • This is a self-pay program. We don't bill insurance for it.
  • Visit fees are paid before your appointment is scheduled. Lab work is billed separately by the lab.
  • Prescriptions go to the pharmacy of your choice. You pay the pharmacy directly for your medication and any delivery fees. We are independent of all pharmacies and don't sell or dispense medication.
  • Your length of treatment is decided with Dr. Vo.
  • If you're already our patient, your regular primary care stays the same.

Results vary

Every person responds differently, and no specific amount of weight loss is guaranteed. Dr. Vo will talk with you about realistic goals, benefits and possible side effects before you start.
