Latest weight loss medications including Semaglutide & Tirzepatide

Custom treatment plans based on your unique health profile
Your first appointment is designed to provide a clear understanding of your health status and set a strong foundation for your weight loss journey. During your one-on-one consultation with a licensed medical provider, you will discuss your weight loss goals, previous efforts, current challenges, and any relevant medical history.
If necessary, we will order laboratory tests to evaluate your metabolic health, hormone levels, and other important markers that influence weight loss success. This thorough approach ensures your treatment plan is based on accurate clinical data rather than guesswork.
Our team believes in transparency there is no pressure to commit immediately or follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we aim to offer honest medical guidance so you can make an informed decision about the best path forward for your health.
Dr. Ashley & Stuart Southern (Owners)
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.

EXCELLENT Based on 45 reviews Stacie Holmstrom2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Southern was very attentive and listened to my concerns and Kaylee was very accommodating. Julie Fletcher2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No regrets! I’m that wonderful age of 48, where things change, but you’re not sure what is going on and feel helpless and “off.” I felt exhausted, bloated, and struggled with unusual weight gain. No energy, no drive. Dr. Southern and Emily were amazing!! Awesome personalities and professionalism! Dr. Southern listened to me, more than any other physician I had seen. She cared enough to find the issue, not just give me a bandaid. I haven’t felt this good in quite a while! Dr. Southern developed a Hormone Therapy program tailored for ME! Always a fantastic experience, and I feel so comfortable when I arrive for my appointments! Great environment and comfortable experience! I HIGHLY recommend you contact them if you want someone who cares enough to listen and help!! Theresa Niederkruger2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Linda Greathouse2025-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At first my weight loss was slow. Very slow! As time went on and I adjusted to My new lack of appetite I started to lose mostly consecutively except a few days that I gained weight. With the increase in the medication my journey became easier and I was less prone to have a weight gain. Then again no loss but no gain either. I was feeling better about this program. Now I am a believer and plan to continue until I reach my goal. Then stay on a dose that will help me maintain my ideal weight. I even have convinced my daughter to try this program in the near future. She has seen my success and wants to be successful too. Thank you for putting up with me.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
