Why Boca Raton patients start here

Local access, without the waiting room.

Most people who reach this page have already tried something — a gym program, a coach, a calorie app, maybe a prior prescription that stalled. What is usually missing is a provider who reviews your labs, your medications, and your history together, and then monitors what happens next.

Because visits are virtual, you can meet from home in East Boca, from an office off Glades Road, or between school pickups in West Boca. When labs are ordered, they can be drawn at a collection site near you and reviewed at your follow-up.

Semaglutide is a prescription medication. No medication is guaranteed, and a consultation is not a prescription.

How it works

Four steps, start to follow-up.

  1. Private intake

    You share your weight history, health conditions, current medications, and what you have already tried.

  2. Telehealth visit ($175)

    A live video visit with Brittany Zaretsky, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC to review your history and discuss whether a GLP-1 medication is appropriate at all.

  3. Labs when ordered

    If your provider orders labs, they can typically be drawn at a collection site near you in Boca Raton, then reviewed together.

  4. Plan and follow-up ($75)

    If treatment is appropriate, dosing starts low and increases gradually, with scheduled follow-ups to monitor response and side effects.

A first-time consultation is $175 and a follow-up visit is $75. Lab work and medication are billed separately and are not included in the visit fee.

GLP-1 cost and coverage

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in certain FDA-approved brand-name products, which are approved for different uses — one for type 2 diabetes and, separately, one for chronic weight management in qualifying adults. Your provider will discuss what is appropriate and legally available for your situation.

Semaglutide vs tirzepatide

Results vary and cannot be predicted for any individual. Outcomes depend on eligibility, dose tolerance, nutrition and activity, other health conditions and medications, and how consistently the plan is followed. Medication is one part of a medical weight management plan, not the whole plan.

Medical weight management

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort are among the most commonly reported. Semaglutide also carries labeled warnings and contraindications, including a boxed warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors in animal studies. It is not appropriate for everyone.

Medical disclaimer

Yes. Eligible patients in Parkland, Delray Beach, Coral Springs, elsewhere in Florida, and statewide in Arizona can be seen online.

Medical weight management and prescription medication are not appropriate for everyone. Eligibility and treatment options depend on provider evaluation, medical history, current medications, lab work when clinically appropriate, and applicable laws and regulations. Results vary.
