What to Expect at Your First Visit?

Your first visit is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a medically sound starting point for weight loss. You’ll meet with a licensed medical provider for a one-on-one consultation where we’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any past challenges with weight loss. If appropriate, we’ll order lab work to assess your metabolic profile, hormone levels, and other relevant health indicators.

There’s no pressure or one-size-fits-all plan. Our goal is to provide honest guidance, backed by medical data, to help you make an informed decision about your health.

Personalized, Medically-Guided Treatment Plans

No two bodies or weight loss journeys are the same. At Alturas, every treatment plan is developed by a physician based on your individual health profile. This includes reviewing lab results, lifestyle factors, and any underlying conditions such as insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid imbalance, or hormonal shifts.

Depending on your evaluation, we may recommend medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, hormone optimization, or other supportive therapies. Every step is monitored and adjusted by our clinical team to ensure safe, sustainable progress.

I’ve been working with Alturas for about three months now and it’s been a great experience. The meds are working and Kaylee has been great to work with. My hubby and I had a vacation to Canada planned and she worked with me to get an early refill to take with me, as well as a Dr travel note to carry on my meds. Thank you to all of you. I definitely recommend Alturas to anyone thinking about GLP’s. :)

It’s been a month in and they have been prompt in answering my questions. I am close enough to go to the clinic but mostly talk on the phone or text through the app. They are willing to work with my GP doctor as well. Adjusting my meds for my needs while checking on me every three weeks. Excellent care.

Unlike online-only services and commercial weight loss chains, Alturas is a licensed medical clinic.
