  • Do you accept health insurance?
    No, we do not accept health insurance. Fortunately, this allows us to offer flexible payment options such as cash, credit or debit card, and Health Savings Account (HSA) funds. The reason for this is that most health insurance plans do not cover the specialized services we provide, including personalized weight loss programs, hormone therapy and peptide treatments. Additionally, insurance coverage for weight loss medications is often restricted to patients who meet very specific criteria, which may not apply to everyone seeking treatment. By offering direct payment options, we can provide comprehensive, individualized care without the limitations of insurance requirements, ensuring you receive the best possible support for your health and wellness goals.
  • How much does the weight loss program cost?
    Our program is tailored to each individual, which means the cost can vary depending on your personalized treatment plan and the medication prescribed to you. During your consultation, we'll thoroughly review your medical history, interpret your lab work results in detail, and design a comprehensive plan to help you reach your goals. The investment in your health and the life-changing results you'll experience through our program are truly invaluable. Because each plan is personalized to your unique needs and goals, pricing will be discussed during your initial consultation and lab follow-up visit. Once we've thoroughly reviewed your health profile and determined the best treatment plan for you, we'll provide a clear and transparent breakdown of the costs involved.
  • How long is the weight loss program, and can I purchase just one month?
    Both our Elite Transformation program with Tirzepatide and the Empower Vitality program with Semaglutide are designed to run 12 weeks to ensure that your medication and progress have enough time to show results. We do not offer a one-month program, as this shorter period does not allow enough time to achieve meaningful outcomes. Our most successful patients commit to the full three months, allowing for better results and long-term success. Staying committed to the 12-week program helps maximize your results and keep you on track.
  • What happens at the end of the 12 weeks?
    At the end of your 12-week program, we thoroughly evaluate your weight loss progress. Based on your results, we'll determine whether it's beneficial to continue the program or renew it for maintenance to help you meet and maintain your goals. We're committed to supporting you throughout your entire journey. GLP-1 medications can be safely prescribed long-term, with no limit on how long they can be used to achieve sustainable weight loss.
  • How do I know if I qualify for the weight loss program?
    Not everyone will be a good candidate for the weight loss program. Candidacy is determined during your initial consultation, where we review your medical history and ensure you meet the medical requirements for GLP-1 therapy, or other weight loss medications. Additionally, we assess your readiness and commitment of making the necessary lifestyle changes to transform your health. This program is best suited for individuals who are motivated, determined, and ready to take action toward their weight loss and wellness goals.
  • What results can I expect from the weight loss program?
    The results you can expect vary depending on the plan recommended for you and the medication prescribed. On average, patients may lose up to 3 pounds per week, but individual progress varies. While results depend on factors like your lifestyle, diet, and exercise habits, many patients typically experience noticeable weight loss within the first few weeks, with some losing between 8 and 20 pounds by their first four-week follow-up. All of our patients have either reached their weight loss goals during the program, exceeded their initial expectations, or are well on their way to achieving their goals. Shelby Rojas is fully committed to helping you meet or surpass your weight loss targets, providing personalized care and support every step of the way to ensure your success.
  • Are follow-up appointments included?
    Yes, absolutely! Our weight loss program is designed to be comprehensive, and all follow-up appointments are included. This means you won’t have to worry about any additional co-pays or charges, as they are already covered in your upfront payment. By paying for your program in advance, you eliminate the hassle of dealing with ongoing payments or co-pays, allowing you to focus fully on your progress and results.
  • What are the potential side effects of weight loss medications?
    Most patients experience minimal side effects, which are typically mild and temporary. The most common side effects include mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. However, the Nurse Practitioner ensures that your medication dosage is carefully tailored to your specific needs. We always start with a low dose and gradually increase it based on how well you tolerate the treatment. If side effects do occur, Shelby is committed to finding compassionate and effective ways to help prevent or manage them, ensuring your comfort and success throughout the program. Your well-being is her top priority, and she works closely with you to make sure your experience is as smooth as possible.
  • What if I'm scared of needles?
    It’s completely normal to have a fear of needles—many people experience this. However, most patients find that they overcome this fear by the first or second injection. Additionally, the needle we use for injections is very tiny, making the process much more comfortable. For those who need extra support, we offer in-clinic assistance where Shelby Rojas can administer your injection, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. Your comfort and confidence are important to us, and Shelby is here to help every step of the way.
  • Will I lose muscle while taking a GLP-1 medication?
    It’s a common myth that you’ll lose muscle while taking GLP-1 medications. In reality, these medications target fat loss, not muscle mass. To ensure you're maintaining or even building muscle during your weight loss journey, it's important to pair the medication with a healthy diet rich in protein and regular physical activity. Shelby Rojas will help guide you through personalized nutrition and exercise plans to support both fat loss and muscle retention, ensuring you achieve a balanced and healthy result.
  • I'm unsure about starting the weight loss program. What should I do?
    It’s completely normal to feel uncertain or hesitant about beginning a weight loss program, especially when it involves medications or injections that are new to you. I encourage you to take the first step by scheduling an initial consultation with Shelby Rojas. This one-hour visit is no obligation, meaning you won’t feel any pressure or commitment to start a treatment plan. During this time, you’ll have the opportunity to ask Shelby any questions you may have, address any concerns, and gain clarity about the program. It’s a chance to alleviate any fears, doubts, or confusion, so you can feel more confident in making a well-informed decision. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and Shelby will be there to guide you with personalized recommendations based on your needs.
  • How long will I have to be on these medications?
    GLP-1 medications such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are safe for long-term use, and patients often achieve the best, most sustainable results by continuing treatment over the long term. Obesity is a chronic condition, which means it requires ongoing treatment to manage effectively. While it’s perfectly safe to discontinue your GLP-1 medication at any time, many patients benefit from transitioning to a lower maintenance dose to help maintain their weight loss. Shelby Rojas will work with you to determine the right dosage and duration based on your individual progress and goals. Together, we’ll find the best maintenance plan to ensure you continue to achieve and sustain the weight you’ve worked hard to lose.
  • What if I don't live nearby?
    Don't worry! Shelby Rojas is licensed to practice and treat patients throughout the entire state of New York. So, if you reside anywhere in New York State, distance isn't an issue. We also offer convenient telehealth visits via video, allowing us to provide the same high-quality care no matter where you're located. Your health and wellness remain our priority, and we're here to meet your needs, even if you're far from the clinic.
