How do you get from Temple Terrace to the clinic?

Take Busch Boulevard west and stay on it. From the Bullard Parkway and 56th Street area it's about 11 miles and roughly 20 minutes without traffic. Busch carries you past Busch Gardens and over I-275 to Dale Mabry Highway, where it becomes Gunn Highway, and a turn west onto Linebaugh Avenue brings you to the clinic at 6904 W. Linebaugh Ave. Busch is a busy commercial road with plenty of lights, so allow extra time at rush hour.

Is telehealth worth it when the clinic is this close?

Often, yes, even at 20 minutes. A video visit spares you the Busch Boulevard lights and fits into a lunch break at USF or a day working from home. You need to be in Florida during the visit and hold up a valid Florida driver's license or state ID to the camera. Because the clinic is close, you might do the first visit in person and move follow-ups to video; that choice is yours, and it can change month to month. Follow-ups are where your dose gets adjusted, so pick the format you'll actually keep up with.

What makes Temple Terrace a good place to build activity into treatment?

Temple Terrace was built with the outdoors in mind. It was laid out in the 1920s as a Mediterranean Revival golf course community, and the Hillsborough River still runs along its eastern and southern edges. Florida College, whose campus includes the city's original country club building, and the still-active Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club are reminders of that plan. Riverhills Park on S. Riverhills Drive has trails, a boardwalk and a boat ramp for kayaks, and the city's Family Recreation Complex on Whiteway Drive has a membership pool. On a cool morning, a loop through the older streets near the golf course is a pleasant, hilly walk by Florida standards. Just north, Lettuce Lake Park on Fletcher Avenue adds a 3,500-foot boardwalk and a 1.25-mile paved exercise trail, with a small per-vehicle entry fee.

What do the health numbers show for Temple Terrace?

Temple Terrace looks a lot like the county on weight. CDC PLACES estimates that 31.3% of adults in the city had obesity in 2023, against 31.6% for Hillsborough County overall, and that 23.6% had no leisure-time physical activity. Those model-based estimates come from the CDC's PLACES project and describe the community, not any one person in it. To see where you personally stand, Padgett's BMI calculator takes about a minute.

Who gives the injections, and how is the dose set?

You do, once a week, at home. Morgan Colee, PA, who sees every patient at Padgett, starts you on a personalized dose and adjusts it at follow-ups based on your progress and any side effects. You'll have instructions written for your exact medication.
