How do you get to the clinic from South Tampa?

From Palma Ceia, take MacDill Avenue north to Kennedy Boulevard, head west on Kennedy and Memorial Highway to the Veterans Expressway, then go north to the Linebaugh Avenue exit. It's about 12 miles, roughly 20 minutes without traffic, and the expressway is a toll road.

Dale Mabry Highway is the toll-free alternative: it runs straight north from South Tampa to Linebaugh Avenue, and the clinic is a short way west from there. Expect more signals and slower going, especially through Westshore at rush hour.

Kennedy Boulevard is at its slowest at lunch and at the evening rush, so a morning or mid-afternoon appointment is the easier drive from South Tampa. The Wednesday evening hours suit anyone who works downtown or in Westshore and would rather come in after work.

Is the monthly drive from South Tampa worth it?

It's a fair trip, about 24 miles round trip, so it comes down to your week. Phentermine requires a visit each month, and at the clinic your blood pressure is simply taken in the office. On a busy month, a telehealth visit from home does the same job.

For telehealth, you'll need to be in Florida during the call, show your Florida driver's license or state ID on camera, and send a photo of a recent blood pressure reading before the visit. Wednesday appointments run until 7 PM if you'd rather come in after work. Our phentermine cost guide breaks down what each month includes.

What do CDC estimates show for South Tampa ZIP codes?

Estimated adult high blood pressure ranges from 23.8% in ZIP code 33606 to 31.3% in 33611, and adult obesity from 25% to 27.6% across 33606, 33609, 33611 and 33629, according to the CDC's PLACES ZIP code data.

Those rates are lower than Hillsborough County's overall, but they aren't what decides your care. Phentermine can raise blood pressure in anyone, so Morgan Colee, PA, looks at your own readings each month, along with your health history and every medication you take. Our guide to phentermine side effects and blood pressure explains what to watch for.

Where can South Tampa residents stay active?

Bayshore Boulevard's linear park is the obvious answer: a 10-foot-wide sidewalk from Platt Street to Gandy Boulevard, with benches, fitness stations and bronze markers at each mile and half mile, according to the City of Tampa.

Parking is available at Ballast Point Park and Fred Ball Park, so you can walk as far as you like and turn around. Phentermine is labelled for use with diet, exercise and behavior change, and a Bayshore walk a few times a week is an easy habit to keep after it ends.

Why is phentermine a pill and not a weekly shot?

Phentermine is an oral appetite suppressant, taken as a daily pill, which is one reason some people prefer it to a weekly injection. It's a Schedule IV controlled substance, so it's prescribed a month at a time, with a visit before each refill.

Padgett also offers personalized compounded semaglutide and personalized compounded tirzepatide, which work differently. Your provider helps you compare them, and the phentermine page sets the options side by side.

Which nearby areas does Padgett also serve?

Davis Islands, Westshore and Downtown Tampa residents can come in person or use telehealth. Hyde Park, at the north end of South Tampa, has almost the same drive to the clinic, about 20 minutes, starting up Howard Avenue to Kennedy Boulevard.
