Quick Answer
We prescribe GLP-1 medications — semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) — when clinically indicated: BMI of 30 or higher, or BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or fatty liver. Before starting, we run a full metabolic workup and screen for contraindications. Our team handles prior authorization and side-effect management.
