Frequently asked questions
Which weight-management appointment should I choose?
The menu lists MD WEIGHT LOSS VISIT and Injectable Weight Loss F/U. Ask whether the MD visit is the starting appointment for your goals and whether the injectable follow-up applies to an existing plan. Confirm the care included before booking.
Does weight management always involve medication?
No. Healthy eating, physical activity and support are core parts of weight management. Medicines may be considered for some people alongside lifestyle changes. Ask Ava what the proposed plan includes and whether medication would be considered for your goals.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring a list of medicines and supplements, relevant health records or recent laboratory results, and your questions. Share previous approaches, changes in your weight and any challenges with food, activity or sleep.
How quickly should I expect change?
Agree realistic goals with your clinician. Progress varies, and long-term habits matter. Ask how your health and progress will be reviewed rather than planning around a guaranteed amount of weight loss.
What is included in the fee?
Confirm the medical visit and injectable follow-up fees with Ava. Ask whether any testing, medicines or other services are separate before beginning a plan.
