What Treatment Options Are Available for People Interested in Weight Loss?

There are many different ways to lose weight, including both non-invasive and surgical options. Usually, patients try non-invasive treatments before considering surgery, because non-invasive treatments have shorter recovery times and lower rates of complication than surgical procedures. In many cases, non-surgical treatments are effective, and patients are able to avoid surgery.

Patients who want to explore non-invasive treatment options for weight loss may want to talk with their doctor about the following:

• Body composition analysis
• Doctor-supervised food plans
• Metabolism regulation
• Appetite management
• Lifestyle and motivational coaching
• Science-based activity recommendations and much more.

Dr. Golshan will create a comprehensive personalized weight loss program tailored just for you.

Who Can Benefit from Going to a Weight Loss Specialist?

Anyone who is concerned about their weight may want to make an appointment with Dr. Golshan, who is a weight loss specialist. Specialists can help people who are obese and severely obese lose weight, but they can also help people who are a healthy weight make sure they don’t put on any pounds.

Who Will Find Out About a Weight Loss Appointment?

Like all medical appointments and treatments, weight loss appointments with a doctor are kept in strict confidence. By law, a doctor can’t share any information about a visit, including the mere fact that a patient visited, without the patient’s permission.

Dr. Golshan will frequently ask for permission to share details about a patient’s appointment with other healthcare providers and the patient’s insurance company. Sharing information with other providers lets doctors provide a higher level of care, and giving information to an insurer makes the billing process easier. Whether anyone else is informed of a visit is up to the patient.

Are Weight Loss Appointments Covered by Health Insurance?

Whether a weight loss appointment is covered by a patient’s health insurance will depend on the terms and coverages of the patient’s insurance policy. Patients should contact their insurer for more information about their particular policy.
