Every weight-loss program at UrgentMed begins the same way: a weight-loss consultation — a medical evaluation with a provider at the Davie or Plantation clinic. It is the visit that decides what — if anything — should be prescribed, and it is where the plan is built around your health rather than around a product.
What the weight-loss consultation covers
- Your medical history, current medications and supplements, and any weight-related conditions.
- Weight, blood pressure, vital signs and a focused physical examination.
- A body composition scan — body fat, skeletal muscle, visceral fat and metabolic rate — as the baseline for tracking change beyond the scale, repeated at every follow-up.
- A conversation about goals, previous attempts, and what a realistic, sustainable plan looks like for you.
- Baseline laboratory testing collected on site — typically a metabolic panel, thyroid function, A1c and lipids.
What you leave with
- A plan: nutrition and activity guidance, and a decision about whether prescription medication is appropriate for you.
- Where prescription medication is appropriate, an explanation of the option the provider recommends for you, with the risks and side effects reviewed before anything is prescribed.
- A follow-up schedule, so progress, labs and side effects are reviewed rather than assumed.
Conditions the weight-loss consultation addresses at the same visit
Weight and metabolic health overlap. The same visit can evaluate blood sugar and A1c and blood pressure, check a vitamin B12 level when the history calls for it — with B12 injections for a documented deficiency — and the provider coordinates with your primary care physician on request.
What to bring
- A photo ID and insurance card if you will use insurance for the visit or labs.
- A list of medications and supplements, and any recent lab results you have.
- Records from a previous weight-management program, if any.

Start with an evaluation
Programs begin with an in-person evaluation at either clinic. Call to schedule, or walk in and ask for a weight-loss or men’s health consultation — the front desk will set the visit up with the right provider.
