How far is Padgett's clinic from Riverview?

About 26 miles, roughly 40 minutes without traffic. From central Riverview near the Alafia River, head north on US 301 to the Selmon Expressway, go west and follow the connector to I-4 and I-275, then take I-275 toward the airport and the Veterans Expressway north to the Linebaugh Avenue exit. The Selmon and the Veterans both charge tolls; a toll-free route across town by way of Busch Boulevard is about 24 miles but a few minutes slower.

Why does telehealth make sense from Riverview?

Because the round trip to northwest Tampa can take well over an hour once traffic is involved, and telehealth takes that off the table. A telehealth visit works anywhere in Florida: you need to be physically in the state during the visit and show a valid Florida driver's license or ID on camera. The visit is with the same provider and follows the same plan as one at the clinic. Here's how telehealth doctor visits work in Florida.

Do you ever have to come to Tampa for the injections?

No. Your personalized compounded semaglutide is shipped to your door in Florida, and you give yourself the injection once a week at home, using the instructions for your exact dose. The only appointments are with your provider, who adjusts your dose over time, and those can all be by telehealth from Riverview if you prefer.

What do CDC estimates show for Riverview?

In the Riverview census area, the CDC's PLACES project estimates that 31.4% of adults had obesity in 2023 and 21.7% reported no physical activity in their leisure time. These are modeled community figures rather than anyone's personal numbers. Your plan starts with your own BMI, health history and goals, which you can check ahead of time with Padgett's BMI calculator.

Where can you get outside and active in Riverview?

The Alafia River is the easy answer. The Riverview Civic Center, at 11020 Park Dr., sits on the river with a canoe and kayak launch, a fishing pier, picnic shelters and a playground. For a walk, Alafia Scrub Nature Preserve at 10243 Elbow Bend Rd. has marked 0.8-mile and 1.3-mile hiking loops through 80 acres of scrub and hammock, with a river overlook about half a mile from the trailhead.

Either loop makes a good weekly target: start with the shorter one and move up as your stamina improves. These habits for keeping the weight off are worth reading as you go.

Is there a good time to drive in from Riverview?

If you choose to come in person, midday is usually easiest, since the Selmon Expressway, I-4 and I-275 are slow during commute hours. Wednesday is the late day, with the clinic open until 7 PM, which helps if you can't leave work early. On other weekdays the clinic is open 9 AM to 5 PM.

Which nearby communities are served the same way?

Most of south and east Hillsborough County. Brandon, just north, is about 25 miles from the clinic. Gibsonton, to the west along US 41, is about 24 miles and roughly 36 minutes, and Apollo Beach, farther south, about 31 miles and 47 minutes. From any of them, telehealth saves the longest drives.

Start from your couch in Riverview: book your visit online and choose telehealth, or pick an in-person time in Tampa.
