Weight Loss Management
The JH objective is to help you reach your weight loss goals.
What's the difference between weight loss with us?
We accept insurance plans to cover the cost of your office/telemedicine visits. This allows you to save money for medication coverage.
How medication(s) work:
Medications for weight loss are tools to facilitate a reduction in caloric intake. This is done by the medications ability to help reduce your appetite and curve cravings. It is important to to know that medications cannot "burn fat" or increase your metabolism.
