What's the route from Oldsmar?
From the middle of Oldsmar, take Tampa Road to Commerce Boulevard, go north to Forest Lakes Boulevard and follow it east. It turns into West Linebaugh Avenue, and the clinic is about 5.5 miles along. The whole trip is about 8.6 miles and roughly 17 minutes without traffic.
The city sits on the north shore of Tampa Bay at the easternmost edge of Pinellas County, according to the City of Oldsmar, which is why the drive east is so short. The last stretch runs through Westchase on a single road, with no causeway or bridge anywhere on it.
Does the short drive make in-person visits the easy choice?
For most people in Oldsmar, yes. Each month of phentermine comes with a visit, and coming in means your blood pressure reading is taken on the clinic's cuff, with nothing to photograph at home. A round trip of about 17 miles fits before work, at lunch, or on a Wednesday evening, when the clinic stays open until 7 PM.
Telehealth covers the other months. You need to be physically in Florida, show your Florida driver's license or state ID on camera, and send a photo of a recent blood pressure reading before the visit.
What happens at the first visit?
You sit down with Morgan Colee, PA, who goes over your health history, the medicines and supplements you use, your weight-loss goals and your blood pressure. Only then is phentermine prescribed, and only if your provider decides it fits.
Its label, as a general guide, points to adults whose BMI is 30 or higher, or 27 or higher alongside a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol. If you don't know your number, the BMI calculator takes a minute.
What do the CDC's estimates show for Oldsmar?
The CDC estimates that 32.2% of Oldsmar adults have high blood pressure and 31.4% have obesity, in its PLACES 2025 release.
Those figures help explain why the monthly reading is never skipped. The phentermine label lists palpitations, a faster heart rate and elevated blood pressure among its cardiovascular effects, and your provider looks for changes from one month to the next.
Can you have a drink while taking phentermine?
Ask your provider before you do. The phentermine label says using alcohol with it may cause an adverse drug reaction, so it's worth a direct conversation at your first visit if a glass of wine with dinner is part of your week.
The same goes for everything else you take. Bring the names and doses of your prescriptions and supplements, because phentermine must never be combined with an MAOI or started within 14 days of one.
Where can you move more in Oldsmar?
Mobbly Bayou Wilderness Preserve at 423 Lafayette has trails, a fitness challenge course and outdoor exercise equipment, plus a kayak launch and a dog park, and it's open dawn to dusk, according to the City of Oldsmar.

A short drive east in Hillsborough County, the 596-acre Upper Tampa Bay Conservation Park on Double Branch Road has nature trails and boardwalks through mangroves and pine flatwoods (Hillsborough County).
Which neighboring areas does Padgett also serve?
Westchase, which the route passes through, is about 8 minutes from the clinic, and Town 'N' Country about 9. Safety Harbor is about 23 minutes away, and Palm Harbor, farther west along Tampa Road, about 26.
