What Our Medical Weight Loss Program Includes

Every plan is built around your health history and goals. Depending on what is appropriate for you, care may include:

• A clinician evaluation of your health history, current medications, prior weight loss attempts and goals.
• A personalized plan with medical oversight, not a one-size-fits-all meal plan.
• Nutrition and lifestyle guidance you can actually keep up with in daily life.
• Lab work when it is clinically appropriate.
• Prescription medication when it is a good fit and you want it, with dose adjustments and safety checks.
• Scheduled follow-up visits to monitor progress, side effects and next steps.

Medication Options, When They Are Appropriate

For some adults, prescription medication is part of a supervised plan, used alongside nutrition and activity changes. Medication is not right for everyone. Your clinician will explain whether a prescription option fits your health history and goals. Learn more about our medical weight loss program and our Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton and Sarasota weight loss clinic page. Results vary from person to person.

What Happens at Your Free Consultation

1. Share your goals and history: prior attempts, medications, conditions and preferences.
2. Review your options: what a clinic-based plan could look like for you, including follow-up and what it may cost.
3. Leave with a clear next step: whether a supervised program fits and what happens next.

Why In-Person Follow-Up Matters

Medical weight loss works best when someone is watching how you respond. Local visits make it easier to adjust a plan, check in on side effects and talk through plateaus. Our Bradenton office is a practical in-person option for patients coming from Venice, Nokomis, Osprey and Sarasota.

Meet Your Clinicians

Care is led by Dr. Nancie Manning AP, DOM and Dr. Alphonso Belsito MD. Learn more on our About page and read patient stories on the Results page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a medical weight loss clinic near Venice, FL?

Yes. Wellness Center of Lakewood Ranch is a physician-supervised medical weight loss clinic at 5255 Office Park Blvd STE 107 in Bradenton, FL. From downtown Venice (ZIP codes 34285, 34292 and 34293), the drive is typically about 28 miles and around 40 to 50 minutes in light traffic, usually via I-75 north and State Road 70 / 53rd Avenue East.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes. The first consultation, where we review your goals, health history and whether a supervised program is a fit, is free. If you decide to continue, program costs are reviewed with you before you commit.

What is the difference between a medical weight loss clinic and a commercial diet program?

A medical weight loss clinic starts with your health history and goals, and a licensed clinician decides what is appropriate for you. Care can include nutrition and lifestyle support, lab work when clinically appropriate, prescription medication when it is a good fit, and scheduled follow-up visits to monitor safety and progress.

Do I have to take prescription medication?

No. Medication is only one possible part of a plan, and it is not right for everyone. Your clinician will discuss whether a prescription option fits your health history, goals and preferences, and what a plan without medication could look like.

How much does the program cost and does insurance cover it?

Cost depends on the plan and any medication that is included, and insurance coverage for weight loss medication varies widely by plan. We go over pricing and your options with you before you commit to anything. Cherry payment plans, our primary financing option, are available to approved patients.

How do I book a visit?

Choose Book Free Consultation on this page, call (941) 702-0066, or use our online booking page at /get-started. You will get a confirmation with the date and time.

Who may not be a candidate for prescription weight loss medication?

Prescription medication is not right for everyone. Your clinician reviews your full health history, current medicines and goals before recommending anything, and will talk with you about options that do not include medication when that is a better fit.

Financing: Cherry is our primary financing option, so you can pay over time if you are approved. See Cherry payment plans.
