The first appointment takes approximately 1 hour. You will need to fast from midnight the night before with nothing to eat or drink except plenty of water because we will need to do a full panel of blood work. The blood work is current for 1 year. The first office visit with blood work is $ 259. We will need to set up an appointment for this office visit.

During your first visit we will get your health history, blood pressure, measurements, weight, and go over how you are supposed eat, exercise, and how much water you should be taking in daily.

You will see Dr. Broun the following Thursday because he is only in the office on Thursday. He will go over your blood work and we will give you a copy for your records. You will receive an exam and Dr. Broun will talk to you about the appetite suppressant he will prescribe that will be filled at the pharmacy. The office visit with Dr. Broun is $69 that Thursday and monthly after to continue the program.

After your office visit with Dr. Broun you will be required to weigh in weekly. We need to monitor your blood pressure and weight loss while you are on the medication. There is no charge for weekly weigh-ins.

We also offer injections to help aid in your weight loss. We go over the injections and what is in them and the benefits of the injections during your first office visit. The injections cost between $20 and $45. The injections are optional and are not required but our patients find them helpful in their weight loss.

In addition to the injections we also offer metabolic testing which takes all of the guess work out of how many calories your body needs to burn 1-3 pounds a week. You will know if you metabolism is fast or slow. This is a breathing test that takes about 15 minutes. The metabolic testing is $ 100. You can do this test on your first visit or any time during the program.
