Your First Appointment: What to Know

Your initial visit is intended to provide clear guidance, reassurance, and a strong medical foundation for your weight loss journey. You will have a personal consultation with a licensed healthcare provider to review your goals, medical history, and previous weight loss experiences. If needed, lab tests may be ordered to evaluate your metabolism, hormones, and other important health factors.

There’s no pressure or generic plan and our aim is to offer honest, data-driven guidance so you can make informed decisions about your health.

Tailored, Physician-Supervised Care Plans

Every body and weight loss journey is unique. At Alturas, physicians create each treatment plan based on your personal health profile. This process considers lab results, lifestyle habits, and any underlying conditions like insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid issues, or hormonal changes.

Based on your assessment, we might suggest treatments like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, hormone therapy, or other supportive options. Our clinical team closely monitors and fine-tunes every plan to ensure safe, effective, and lasting results.

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.

I have had great service and appreciate how kind and supportive the staff is. I just started and I see a big difference in how I feel about food. I no longer have the cravings I had before, making it so much easier to choose healthy foods. I wish I hadn’t waited so lone to start.
