Medical Weight Loss


Calibrated.
                      Monitored.

The Metabolic System Reset
Weight management is a complex physiological recalibration, not a battle of willpower. Our physician-led program moves beyond the "noise" of commercial dieting to provide a scientifically grounded, medical-grade strategy. By combining advanced, FDA-approved medications with meticulously curated nutrition and movement protocols, we address the root biological drivers of weight retention to restore your body’s natural equilibrium.



Sovereign Monitoring
Integrity is found in the follow-through. Your journey is not a "vending machine" prescription; it is a dynamic process carefully monitored by Dr. Franco and his dedicated clinical staff. Through regular intervals of assessment and biometric tracking, we ensure your progress is as safe as it is consistent, pivoting your plan in real-time to match your body’s unique "vibration."

The Pharmacological Edge
What makes this program more effective than dieting alone is the surgical precision of our medical aid. When indicated, we utilize 
a spectrum of FDA-approved medications—including Phentermine, Tenuate®, and Farxiga®—to assist with appetite suppression and metabolic efficiency. This combination helps to control portion size while naturally increasing your metabolism, making the process of losing weight and keeping it off more sustainable.

The Professional Standard
Our goal is to help you safely lose weight, even if nothing has worked in the past. At our office, your health is never managed by an assistant or an algorithm. Dr. Franco’s 25+ years of clinical expertise ensure that your program is built on a foundation of absolute transparency and surgical-grade accountability.


A Cutting-Edge Approach to Metabolic Support
Dr. Franco believes in staying at the absolute forefront of modern medical advancements, treating the body as an interconnected whole rather than merely suppressing isolated symptoms. In line with this commitment to precision medicine, our office integrates advanced, FDA-approved GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists into our physician-led metabolic programs.
 

While public platforms often treat these cutting-edge therapies interchangeably, they operate through distinct, specialized biochemical pathways. Our program utilizes two primary classes of medication to match your body's unique physiology:


Zepbound® (Tirzepatide)
This dual-agonist approach mimics two native metabolic hormones (GIP and GLP-1) 
to regulate appetite signals while directly optimizing how your body processes and 
stores energy. (Calibrated up to a maximum titrated therapeutic ceiling of 15 mg).



Wegovy® (Semagultide)
Operating as a targeted GLP-1 receptor agonist, this medication specifically slows gastric 
emptying and modulates central hunger pathways to establish a steady, reliable metabolic 
baseline. (Calibrated up to a maximum titrated therapeutic ceiling of 2.4 mg).



The Calibrated Tier Strategy
To ensure absolute clarity, our office completely rejects the flat, commercialized pricing packages common in the weight-loss industry. 
Dr. Franco utilizes a meticulously customized tiered method designed for your specific biological needs. Every patient begins at an entry-level, baseline dosage. As your physiology adapts and stabilizes over time, Dr. Franco dynamically accelerates and steps up your specific therapeutic tier to maintain consistent progress.

Rather than paying an arbitrary, inflated flat rate for a mass-market package, you only pay for the exact, calibrated milligram dosage your individual timeline requires:

• Zepbound® Therapy: Priced at $33.33 per milligram, plus a $35.00 sterile clinical administration and injection fee per visit.
 

• Wegovy® Therapy: Baseline configuration calculated at $312.20 per milligram. Specific operational pricing updates for advanced titrated Wegovy tiers are verified in real-time during your consultation to maintain absolute transparency.



The Accountability Framework
To preserve the clinical integrity of this program, Dr. Franco does not allow patients to self-administer or take medications home. This is a tightly monitored, hands-on medical protocol. You are required to visit the office once per week for a direct personal consultation. During this weekly checkpoint, Dr. Franco will personally weigh you, perform a forensic review of your nutritional and exercise logs over the past seven days, assess your vital metrics, and personally administer your precise therapeutic dose.
 

Injections are administered exclusively by Dr. Franco during your required weekly progress checkpoint, and medication costs are collected at the time of administration based on your specific, verified prescription tier.
