Many primary care doctors don’t have the time to handle prior authorizations. That’s where we come in. We help you access brand-name GLP-1 medications by providing prior authorization support. If you need a more personalized option, we also work with our partner pharmacy, Red Rock, to facilitate access to compounded GLP-1 medications tailored to your needs. Supporting your health is our top priority.

To make the most of your consultation, please have the following information ready: Current weight: Knowing your most recent weight helps us assess your progress and set realistic goals. Medical history: Be prepared to share details about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, and past treatments. Family medical history: Understanding your family's health background allows us to assess potential risk factors. History of previous weight loss attempts: Please provide details about any weight loss programs, diets, medications, or other methods you’ve tried in the past. Include dates, duration, and any weight changes during those programs. This information is helpful for securing prior authorization for brand-name medications. By coming prepared with this information, we can create a personalized plan that best supports your health and weight loss journey.
