Medical Weight Loss in Syracuse and Central New York

For weight loss, every new patient starts with our complete initial package, $249: metabolic and body-composition testing, a 60-minute medical provider consultation and a 45-minute registered dietitian consultation, with no long-term contract (pricing as of November 2026). For our other programs, cost depends on your plan; you get detailed pricing on the free Discovery Call. We do not bill insurance (we are out-of-network) and give you a superbill, an itemized receipt you can send to your insurer for reimbursement. See the Insurance and payment card above and our payment plans.

A detailed two-part evaluation: bloodwork and testing with a nurse, about 60 minutes with a provider reviewing your bloodwork, medical history, medications and past experiences, and about 45 minutes with our dietitian to plan your daily routine. The Personalized Medical Weight Loss page walks through it.

Your first visits are the longest: testing and bloodwork with a nurse, about 60 minutes with a provider and about 45 minutes with our dietitian. After that, regular follow-up visits; follow-up is typically closer during periods of active medication adjustment. We are open until 7 PM on Tuesday and Thursday and from 7 AM on Friday, and some visits may be by telemedicine.
