In your initial appointment, your Circle Medical provider will do a thorough overview of your medical history, as well as order blood work to confirm or rule out any conditions that may be preventing you from achieving your weight goals.
During the second appointment, your provider will work with you to create a customized a weight management plan which may include prescribed medications like semaglutide, if determined to be medically appropriate.
After you start your treatment plan, you will have regular video check-ins with your provider to ensure the plan is working to help you achieve your weight loss goals, and that your overall health continues to improve. Speak to a provider today to get started!

Weight Loss and Weight Management Treatment
The safety and well-being of our patients is our number one priority.
Depending on your weight loss goals and the discussion with your provider, some weight loss and weight management treatments may include behavior modification, such as changes to diet and exercise routines, or prescription medications that can include semaglutide treatments that are often known under brand names like Ozempic or Wegovy.
Please note that these treatments are currently experiencing significant stock issues, and the cost is not always covered by insurance.
Your provider will work with you to determine if a medication is clinically appropriate as a part of your overall treatment plan.
We do not prescribe controlled substance medications as part of weight loss treatment plans.
To see our list of currently available states, begin booking an appointment.
You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.
You do not need to book your initial appointment with a doctor. You can book your appointment with any provider that we have available. Our providers are all trained in Weight Loss and Weight Management. They all work closely together to make sure that we are providing the same excellent standard of care to all patients regardless of which provider you book your appointment with.
Initial intake appointments are 30 mins. Follow-up appointments are typically 20 minutes each.
Billing and Insurance
We contract with most PPO insurance plans. If you are a California Bay Area resident, we also work with a small number of HMO plans.
To verify if we work with your insurance, simply start booking an appointment online. You will be prompted to enter your insurance details and will receive eligibility results instantly as well as an estimate of your appointment cost prior to confirming your appointment.
Some PPO plans that we currently work with are:
Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Humana, and United Healthcare.
If your plan is not in-network, cash pay is accepted for all services.
Plans that we cannot work with are:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide care for patients who have Medi-Cal or Medicaid insurance. This is because we are not licensed Medi-Cal or Medicaid providers, so we are not able to provide care, even if these patients choose to pay cash instead of use their insurance. If you have Medi-Cal or Medicaid, please do not book an appointment with us, as we will be unable to provide care even if you do not enter your insurance information.
Other
After you are diagnosed, if you are prescribed medications, we will coordinate sending these prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy.
You may have a 2-week follow-up if you are on a new dosage for treatment. Once your treatment has stabilized, you will have monthly follow-up appointments to maintain treatment.
If you have questions at any time, please feel free to chat with your provider and care team via our secure app.
We put patients first in every decision we make, and follow clinical guidelines based on evidence-based medicine to ensure patients get the most effective care possible.
Being overweight can increase the risk of developing several health problems. Some of those risks include:
Cardiovascular Disease: Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. The extra weight can strain the heart, leading to an increased risk of heart disease.
Type II Diabetes: Being overweight can increase the risk of developing type II diabetes, which is a condition in which the body can't use insulin properly.
Cancer: Some types of cancer, such as breast, colon, and kidney cancer, have been demonstrated to be more common in people who are overweight.
Joint Problems: Carrying extra weight can put stress on the joints, leading to an increased risk of osteoarthritis and other joint problems.
Sleep Apnea: Being overweight can increase the risk of sleep apnea, which is a condition in which breathing stops and starts during sleep.
The decision of whether or not you need weight loss treatment will be made between you and your provider in accordance with your health goals, and will be different for each person.
One common indicator that is often used to determine if someone is overweight is called Body Mass Index, or BMI. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared, and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. (The CDC has a BMI calculator that can be found here.) A BMI of over 25 is considered overweight, and a BMI of over 30 is considered obese. However, keep in mind that BMI is a screening tool, and it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual.
Depending on your weight loss goals and the discussion with your provider, some weight loss and weight management treatments may include behavior modification, such as changes to diet and exercise routines, or prescription medication.
Medications that are sometime prescribed for weight loss may include Ozempic, Mounjaro, Metformin, Trulicity, Saxenda, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and others. Your provider will work with you to determine if a medication is clinically appropriate as a part of your overall treatment plan.

Jamarion
The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My physician has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

I like my provider, it’s easy and hassle free, and I feel like I’m getting the help I needed. Plus, I tried to schedule stuff the traditional way and they only got back to me a week later. This is way faster.

My provider was very helpful and made sure all my concerns are addressed. Also the team made sure that my expectations are met. Thanks to the team and looking forward of the outcome of my transition with their help.
Paulina
I was able to find a provider to help me with my needs within 24 hours. Even though I’ve been trying to find a doctor locally, I was unable to receive help for months until I stumbled on Circle Medical. They were helpful and nice.
Jorge
My provider is wonderful and so accomodating. I've been to psychs in the past that have been very rude and clearly wanted to get the visit over with ASAP, but she never rushes, she listens to me cite my complaints and praises about my current treatment plan, and then responds with true care.
Serena
It was extremely easy to sign-up and utilize the app. From the first time I ever heard of the app, I was in an appt within several hours and paired with an AMAZING provider that is very sensitive to my needs and concerns.
Cailyn
It is a very well organized system, efficient and easy. My provider has specific ADHD training and you let us know how your ADHD program rolls (up front). No one likes surprises. My provider was kind and helpful and I got a follow up on our discussion and what I can do to empower myself NOW. Thanks Circle.
Jasper
I love my provider. She is always on time, very knowledgeable about the medications and my condition and always answers all my questions.
TJ
The staff that looks out for me...cares for me! I feel they have a very genuine concern for my wellbeing! That means the world to me. It's not just a quick face-time chat, or that feeling of ever being rushed, I truly feel my provider, who's been with me for some time now, actually cares about my health and how best to keep me in the great shape I am now!
Katie
The provider I spoke with was very knowledgeable and listened to me. She explained things well and made me comfortable.

Medical weight loss is weight loss that is guided or supervised by a healthcare professional. A healthcare provider can take a look at your health history and examine your current health to determine a safe and sustainable path to help you lose weight. A medical weight loss program may involve diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and prescription medication if medically necessary.Along with helping you safely lose weight, the goal is to also to identify and understand the underlying reasons for your weight gain in the first place.
Losing weight will be a different journey for everyone. Weight loss programs are not a one-size-fits-all approach, and your needs may vary based on your health, weight, age, and other factors. With that being said, there are some general guidelines for health weight loss. These include:
Remember, weight loss can take time. It’s important to be patient and consistent when trying to achieve weight loss results.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) happens when your brain fails to signal breathing muscles. This leads to periods during the night where breathing stops and starts.
