Physician-Led Weight Loss For South Carolina Adults
Structured, membership-based medical care for sustainable weight management. Virtual visits with a board-certified physician, plus ongoing support between appointments.
- Initial video visit with a physician to review your history and goals
- Ongoing monthly supervision and secure messaging within your membership
- Clear, tiered options from lean support to full concierge-level care
- Medications and labs prescribed only when medically appropriate
- All prescriptions, if written, are filled at your chosen retail pharmacy
You've counted points, tracked macros, tried every program, and downloaded every app, yet no one has actually evaluated you as a whole person.
You don't need another generic weight loss program. You need a thorough physician-led evaluation that examines your full history, biology, and circumstances.
You've been treated with templates, not medicine.
Most programs use the same playbook for everyone. Your hormones, medications, history, and labs are an afterthought.
No one has truly owned your care.
A nurse practitioner here, a med spa there, your PCP once a year, and no single physician has designed your full metabolic plan.
Medications were used as magic wands.
Medications can play an important role. They also fall short when dosing is off, labs aren't checked, or there's no strategy for what happens after.
Your biology has been under-evaluated.
Sleep, stress, prior dieting, and underlying metabolic issues all change how your body responds. Without a full medical evaluation, the picture is incomplete.
You're not broken. You've simply never had a full physician-level metabolic evaluation built around your individual biology and history.
Treat metabolic health like the medical concern it is.
One simple framework, three steps, your physician throughout.
Map: Deep Metabolic Evaluation
An initial 1:1 video visit. We review your full weight history, prior diets, past treatments, medications, sleep, stress, and medical risks. Labs are ordered when clinically indicated.
Match: Personalized Medical Plan
A tailored plan for nutrition, movement, sleep, and medications when clinically appropriate. Your labs and history drive every decision, and the plan is reviewed by your physician, not handed to a coach.
Manage: Continuous Optimization
Ongoing monthly follow-up within your membership. Secure messaging between visits. If medication is part of your plan, we discuss expected costs and pharmacy options up front.

Built around physician-led care, not volume.
Physician-Only Care
Every visit is with a board-certified obesity medicine physician. No NPs or health coaches running the show.
Full Metabolic Workup
Advanced labs, deep medical history, and a tailored plan, rather than a single prescription and a handshake.
Low-Volume, High-Touch
Membership is intentionally limited. Concierge Elite is capped at 5 clients per year so each patient gets meaningful time and attention.
100% Virtual
All visits via secure telemedicine. No waiting rooms, no traffic. South Carolina residents only.
Transparent Membership
Clear monthly pricing for clinical services. You only budget separately for medication if prescribed and any outside lab or imaging fees.
No Insurance Games
We do not bill insurance for membership, which keeps visits unhurried and free of third-party meddling. We will help pursue medication coverage where appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
You pay your chosen membership tier (Foundations at $199 per month, Metabolic Complete at $999 per month, or Concierge Elite by private inquiry). If medication is prescribed, you also pay the pharmacy directly. Outside lab or imaging fees not included in your tier are billed by those facilities or your insurance.
No. You must be open to a full medical evaluation and discussion of medication, but we only prescribe if it is clinically appropriate and you are comfortable. Some patients pursue non-medication plans.
You are exactly who this was built for. We will review what you took, how it was dosed, side effects, labs, and the full context. Medications often underperform when the plan around them is generic or incomplete.
Results vary by individual. We cannot promise a specific amount of weight loss, a specific timeline, or that weight loss will be maintained. Our focus is creating a medically sound, sustainable plan based on your evaluation.
No. You just need to live anywhere in South Carolina. All visits are virtual, and labs are arranged near you (or at home for higher tiers).
We do not bill insurance for visits or membership. That structure allows unhurried visits and clear pricing. We will, however, help pursue insurance coverage for prescribed medications when appropriate, though coverage is not guaranteed.
Membership continues automatically on the same billing cycle (quarterly for Foundations, every 6 months for Metabolic Complete) unless you cancel. You can step up, step down, or stop your membership at the end of any billing period.
No. This is a specialty metabolic and weight-management program. You should keep your primary care physician. Your care here focuses exclusively on obesity and metabolic risk.
You will always see the same physician, Dr. Robak. We do not rotate patients between different providers. The goal is a consistent relationship with your doctor over time.
