I love this place. The wait is never long. I brought a friend with me and we both lost over 60 lbs in just 1 year. I have a lot more energy. My kids can’t hardly keep up with me. This is awesome. If you want to lose weight and live a much healthier life then I recommend Arturo Olivera Weight Loss Clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What prescription medications do you offer?
We currently offer Phentermine, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide.
How much will I lose in a month?
A healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week or 4-8 pounds a month. This can be achieved with healthy lifestyle changes, in combination with medication use if appropriate.
I have friends who want to change their lifestyle as well, do you offer a referral program?
Yes! Refer a friend for Phentermine and both you and your friend will receive an additional $10 off your visit. If you refer a friend for Semaglutide/Tirzepatide, you will receive $50 off of your next visit. Discounts are offered after your referred friend schedules and completes their appointment. If your friend comes in without you, make sure they leave your name and birth date at the checkout desk so we can give you credit at your next visit.
I live far away, what services do you offer for me?
Depending on the medication you are prescribed, some returning patients may be eligible for a 90-day supply. Certain medical guidelines must be met. To learn more, call the office.
How do I start Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?
All initial Semaglutide/Tirzepatide consultations take place over the phone. You will have a 20-minute call with one of our nurse practitioners to review drug information, side effects and diet and lifestyle recommendations. During this comprehensive overview of our Semaglutide program, our nurse practitioner will review when you will receive your first injection in our office, lay out your medication schedule, and schedule your 4 week follow up phone call.
Who qualifies for a Phentermine telehealth appointment?
New patients require two in-office visits initially. Telehealth is available for patients with two recent in-office visits within 12 months, updated registration and consent forms and stable blood pressure history.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept any insurance at this time. Payment is due at time of service. If requested, we will provide you with a “superbill” which you can use to request reimbursement from your insurance provider.
