Can I participate in this program without the guidance of a Core Physicians Group^® medical professional?

Trying to lose weight on your own can be challenging. Most individuals find they need guidance and direction on their weight loss journey.

Can I do this program with my Primary Care Physician?

Although your Primary Care Physician may be able to prescribe medication to help you lose weight, prescription medication is only one element of a successful weight loss program; and may not be for everyone.

I recently had my physical, EKG, and blood work done. Do I need to repeat the exams at the initial consultation?

Recent physicals or tests conducted by your Primary Care Physician are acceptable. In order for us to retrieve this information, you will be required to sign a release form during your first visit.

No. Patients of Core Physicians Group^® never have to sign a contract or pay in advance.

What type of food do I eat while on the program?
