How We Build Your Weight Loss Plan

1Consultation and Health Review

Your first visit begins with a review of your health history, current conditions, medications, and past procedures. The doctor may also ask about factors that can affect treatment planning.

2Goals and Previous Weight Loss Attempts

You can talk openly about what you have tried, what helped, what did not, and what feels realistic now. Your goals and concerns help guide the discussion.

3Treatment Selection

The doctor will explain the options that may fit your needs. Your plan could involve one service or a combination of medical care and coaching. A consultation does not mean that every treatment will be suitable for you.

4Follow-Up and Support

Your care continues after the first decision. Follow-up may include progress checks, treatment adjustments, doctor visits, and lifestyle support based on the plan you choose.

Medically Supervised and Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options

A medically supervised weight loss plan may include:

  • A review of your health conditions and current medications.
  • A discussion of which treatment options may fit your needs.
  • Ongoing monitoring and treatment changes when needed.
  • Health coaching, support, and guidance for daily habits.
  • Coordination between the doctor and the care support team.

The NIDDK guide to choosing a weight loss program says to look for programs that provide steady guidance and help with daily habits. It also calls for regular feedback and a plan to keep making progress.

Not enough stars for Dr Simmonds and his staff. I’ve been on my journey for 8 months now and couldn’t be any happier with my results. Dr Simmonds has guided me throughout my 58lb weight loss without a hitch. I’m shedding pounds slowly and in a healthy way. I have 38 more to go and with Dr Simmonds guiding me along the way feel confident I will reach my goal. The staff is always courteous and helpful obtaining my refills. They helped me navigate through the approval process and I’ve not had an issue since. I’ve never had a better experience with a physician and his staff. Well deserved Dr Simmonds and staff you guys rock!!!!
