How do you get from South Tampa to the Linebaugh Ave clinic?

The quickest way is Kennedy Boulevard west to Memorial Highway, then north on the Veterans Expressway to the Linebaugh Avenue exit: about 12 miles, roughly 20 minutes without traffic. The Veterans is a toll road. If you'd rather skip the toll, Dale Mabry Highway runs straight north from Palma Ceia to Linebaugh, where you turn west for the last three miles or so. That way is about 12.5 miles and closer to 25 minutes, with more traffic lights.

Both routes pass the Westshore business district, so if you work near the airport or International Plaza, a lunch-hour or after-work visit is realistic. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and until 7 PM on Wednesdays, which helps if your workday ends at five.

Is South Tampa close enough to come in person every time?

Yes, at about 20 minutes each way, South Tampa is one of the easier drives to the clinic. Meeting Morgan Colee, PA, face to face at the first visit can make the start feel more concrete: your health history, current medications and goals are reviewed, and you can ask to be shown how the weekly injection works before your first dose.

After that, follow-ups can switch to telehealth whenever it suits you. Telehealth works from your office in Westshore or your living room in Bayshore Beautiful, as long as you are physically in Florida and show a valid Florida driver's license or ID on camera. Your personalized compounded semaglutide ships to your door either way, so the drive is only ever about the visit, never about picking up medication.

Where can you stay active in South Tampa during treatment?

Bayshore Boulevard is the obvious answer. The City of Tampa describes its 10-foot-wide sidewalk as running from Columbus Statue Park at Platt Street south to Gandy Boulevard, with fitness stations, benches and bronze markers set into the walkway at each mile, half mile and kilometer, so you can track your distance without an app.

For a change of scenery, Ballast Point Park sits right off Bayshore with shaded walkways along the water, and Picnic Island Park near Port Tampa has a white sand beach, a sand volleyball court and a disc golf course. Personalized compounded semaglutide works best alongside steady habits, and our guide to lifestyle habits that support GLP-1 treatment covers the ones that matter most.

What do CDC estimates show for South Tampa ZIP codes?

The CDC's PLACES project estimates that about 25% to 28% of adults in the main South Tampa ZIP codes (33606, 33609, 33611 and 33629) had obesity in 2023, compared with about 32% for the city of Tampa as a whole. PLACES also estimates that only about 14% to 18% of adults in those ZIP codes get no leisure-time physical activity, against about 25% citywide.

Those are model-based estimates, not a head count, but the pattern is worth noticing: even where people are more active than average, roughly one adult in four is living with obesity. Weight isn't only about effort, which is why a medically supervised plan can help when walks on Bayshore alone haven't moved the scale. Padgett's BMI calculator is a quick first check before you book.

Which nearby neighborhoods does Padgett also serve?

Davis Islands, Palma Ceia, Hyde Park and Westshore are all within easy reach. From Davis Islands the trip runs about 24 minutes without traffic, while Westshore is closer, around 12 minutes, since it sits on the way to the Veterans Expressway. If you live farther north, the Town 'N' Country page covers the even shorter drive from there. Dosing, follow-ups and every price are on the main personalized compounded semaglutide page.
