Had a consultation for the Diethylpropion injection and I felt safe and well informed. I like how they asked me about my weight loss goals, rather than giving me their own recommendations. Taia, the technician was very easy to talk to and explained everything well.

Padgett Medical was a fantastic experience for me. I went and got a prescription for topiramate to help stop my late night cravings and it worked tremendously! The staff was super helpful and always had a smile on their face.

have questions about medical weight loss?

It’s normal to have questions before starting a medical weight loss program. Here are some of the most common questions and the answers that you need.

How do you qualify for prescription weight loss?

The first step is to schedule an appointment with an experienced doctor to see if you are a good candidate for medical weight loss.

Are medical weight loss programs safe?

Not only are medical weight loss programs effective, but they are one of the safest ways to lose extra weight. A doctor oversees your treatment plan from start to finish, ensuring your safety at all times.

How fast does medical weight loss work?

You can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks, but the more noticeable changes happen 2 – 3 months into the treatment plan.

How much weight do you lose with medical weight loss?

The actual results vary depending on your treatments and your unique medical needs. It’s common for patients to lose several pounds a week and up to 15% of body weight over the course of the treatment plan.
