In your initial appointment, your Circle Medical provider will do a thorough overview of your medical history, as well as order blood work to confirm or rule out any conditions that may be preventing you from achieving your weight goals.
During the second appointment, your provider will work with you to create a customized a weight management plan which may include prescribed medications like semaglutide, if determined to be medically appropriate.
After you start your treatment plan, you will have regular video check-ins with your provider to ensure the plan is working to help you achieve your weight loss goals, and that your overall health continues to improve. Speak to a provider today to get started!

"Very convenient, my provider is absolutely amazing. He takes the time to understand me and my long term goals. I am very nervous when it comes to medication and he has been so informative and patient."

Weight Loss and Weight Management Treatment
The safety and well-being of our patients is our number one priority.
Depending on your weight loss goals and the discussion with your provider, some weight loss and weight management treatments may include behavior modification, such as changes to diet and exercise routines, or prescription medications that can include semaglutide treatments that are often known under brand names like Ozempic or Wegovy.
Please note that these treatments are currently experiencing significant stock issues, and the cost is not always covered by insurance.
Your provider will work with you to determine if a medication is clinically appropriate as a part of your overall treatment plan.
We do not prescribe controlled substance medications as part of weight loss treatment plans.
To see our list of currently available states, begin booking an appointment.
You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.
You do not need to book your initial appointment with a doctor. You can book your appointment with any provider that we have available. Our providers are all trained in Weight Loss and Weight Management. They all work closely together to make sure that we are providing the same excellent standard of care to all patients regardless of which provider you book your appointment with.
Initial intake appointments are 30 mins. Follow-up appointments are typically 20 minutes each.
Billing and Insurance
We contract with most PPO insurance plans. If you are a California Bay Area resident, we also work with a small number of HMO plans.
To verify if we work with your insurance, simply start booking an appointment online. You will be prompted to enter your insurance details and will receive eligibility results instantly as well as an estimate of your appointment cost prior to confirming your appointment.
Some PPO plans that we currently work with are:
Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Humana, and United Healthcare.
If your plan is not in-network, cash pay is accepted for all services.
Plans that we cannot work with are:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide care for patients who have Medi-Cal or Medicaid insurance. This is because we are not licensed Medi-Cal or Medicaid providers, so we are not able to provide care, even if these patients choose to pay cash instead of use their insurance. If you have Medi-Cal or Medicaid, please do not book an appointment with us, as we will be unable to provide care even if you do not enter your insurance information.
Other
After you are diagnosed, if you are prescribed medications, we will coordinate sending these prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy.
You may have a 2-week follow-up if you are on a new dosage for treatment. Once your treatment has stabilized, you will have monthly follow-up appointments to maintain treatment.
If you have questions at any time, please feel free to chat with your provider and care team via our secure app.
We put patients first in every decision we make, and follow clinical guidelines based on evidence-based medicine to ensure patients get the most effective care possible.
Being overweight can increase the risk of developing several health problems. Some of those risks include:
Cardiovascular Disease: Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. The extra weight can strain the heart, leading to an increased risk of heart disease.
Type II Diabetes: Being overweight can increase the risk of developing type II diabetes, which is a condition in which the body can't use insulin properly.
Cancer: Some types of cancer, such as breast, colon, and kidney cancer, have been demonstrated to be more common in people who are overweight.
Joint Problems: Carrying extra weight can put stress on the joints, leading to an increased risk of osteoarthritis and other joint problems.
Sleep Apnea: Being overweight can increase the risk of sleep apnea, which is a condition in which breathing stops and starts during sleep.
The decision of whether or not you need weight loss treatment will be made between you and your provider in accordance with your health goals, and will be different for each person.
One common indicator that is often used to determine if someone is overweight is called Body Mass Index, or BMI. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared, and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703. (The CDC has a BMI calculator that can be found here.) A BMI of over 25 is considered overweight, and a BMI of over 30 is considered obese. However, keep in mind that BMI is a screening tool, and it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual.
Depending on your weight loss goals and the discussion with your provider, some weight loss and weight management treatments may include behavior modification, such as changes to diet and exercise routines, or prescription medication.
Medications that are sometime prescribed for weight loss may include Ozempic, Mounjaro, Metformin, Trulicity, Saxenda, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and others. Your provider will work with you to determine if a medication is clinically appropriate as a part of your overall treatment plan.

We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

I love speaking with my provider, she always listens to me and takes the time to be interested in me as a person!!
Erica
My clinician is amazing. I appreciate being able to move through my treatment online and to see tangible results because of her care.
Amber
Very convenient for video appointments. Provider is very caring and considerate.
Riri
I was listened to, given advice and got a chance to say what worked for me in the past. We then went through some questions and got me the meds I needed.
Rylan
Circle Medical is a one stop shop for all my medical needs. No more waiting in a doctor's office for me!!
Ethan
Circle Medical provides competent services that I cannot get in the rural area where I live. My provider is thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, and she listens.
Paisley
Quick, knowledgeable, and professional service. Easy to use and much, much faster than in person visits.
Patrick
Very professional service, extremely convenient and has greatly improved my life. Saves me very intimidating visits to regular doctors that don’t take into consideration modern day issues or considerations. I feel taken care of but also understood.
Precious
Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!
Felix
My provider has been very helpful in helping me find the right treatment. She is patient and through. The platform is user-friendly and easy to use.
Carly
This system, the efficiency, and care behind it is the best that I have come across. I have been uncomfortable addressing issues like ADD and ADHD as an adult, so I put this off for years. My provider has already helped in 2 sessions and I started my prescription within days. I have to say, I am already feeling better simply taking the initial steps. A big thanks to this team!
Madalynn
Great doctors, great customer support, prescription is sent to my pharmacy electronically, payments are done internal (no third parties), easy and simple.
Dendra
My provider is so thoughtful in her questions and thoroughly listens and takes the time to come up with a plan that works for ME. There is no one-size-fits-all, and as a mother of five as well as a small business owner, this rings especially true. With Circle Medical you can expect them to take their time (but not too much! Convenience is key in 2022!) and tailor an individual plan suited perfectly for you. You can expect them to care about you as a person and not a number. I am so thankful I found Circle Medical but especially during these busy times.
Sasha
I have recommended Circle Medical to several friends. The process, UI, and providers are very quick and caring. It is perhaps the easiest to use system I’ve ever seen. I highly highly recommend the organization.
Jamarion
Circle Medical has been extremely patient-oriented and has helped me feel like I’m in good hands with my Mental Health. Receiving my medications on-time with no issues.
Bailee
The provider I have is amazing. She listens and can relate, has been there for anything I need.
Brody
Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.
Sebastian
It's easy to get an appointment. It's nice to be able to not have to sit in an office waiting to be seen. My provider makes me feel like she actually remembers me and I'm not just another folder slapped on her desk. It's very nice. She also discusses treatment with me instead of just throwing pills at me and saying do this or do that. I feel involved and in charge of my own health.
Louis
Amazing staff who are looking to do everything they can to help you with any problem you may have. I was able to get an appointment within a few days for my first consultation compared to a couple months with another service I used to be with. All around it was a great decision moving to Circle Medical, couldn’t be happier.
Gerald
Very easy to use and great providers. Mine is very personable and helpful.
Jack
I absolutely love Circle Medical and my provider! The process is so easy and seamless and she’s just the best, most empathetic caregiver! I have referred so many people to Circle Medical!
Dulce
The service is easy to use and my provider is amazing. I feel very comfortable and that she has an interest in my overall wellbeing.
Jade
Provider was wonderful, the medicine she prescribed worked overnight. I was amazed at how fast the healing started.
Paxton
Circle Medical’s process was easy and intuitive made even better by a professional and kind provider. As a practice manager myself, your platform impressed me!!!! My provider’s “bedside manner” is warm and while I have insurance and could have gone elsewhere, I still chose Circle Medical.
Nolan
It’s so easy to schedule your appointments, never miss time off from work again! I use Circle Medical as my primary care provider and love the support and care I receive.
Britney
Setting things up was incredibly easy and stress-free. I love that the app uses my real name as opposed to what was legally given. And the app works really well, haven't had a single tech issue. Having this option for my appointments with my busy schedule is making my HRT treatment possible.
Alan
The Circle Medical team is responsive, thorough, kind, helpful and respectful, and listens to your needs.
Frankie
I have already referred friends to Circle for mental health treatment. It's been life-changing for me.
Celia
I love the provider I have been seeing she is absolutely lovely and very informative. She actually cares and we have developed a great relationship, better than any doctor I have met with over the years in person. The process of setting everything up in the app was fairly quick and easy for me and when I had an issue it was quickly addressed within the chat. I would absolutely recommend Circle Medical and I have even recommended it to a friend.
Philip
Because anytime I have had any issues the chat has gone far and beyond the expectations for customer service. The provider is always pleasant for me to talk to about what is going on. Circle Medical has also done just an amazing job of being easy to use.
Camille
My provider is amazing! She is the first person that I felt like has listened to me and tried to help. I recommend to everyone.
Kit
Easy to connect with a medical professional and excellent communication from the patient coordinators.
Nehemiah
Super easy to schedule. Practitioners seem to care about the patient and aren’t judgemental about patient’s complaints/symptoms.
Heather
So easy to create an account from scratch, find an appointment (within 24 hours on a holiday weekend), and speak to a terrific professional who answered my questions
Laci
The service and care my provider has provided for me since being a patient has been second to none! It's changed my life to be honest. Highly recommend Circle Medical!
Thomas
I chose Circle due to the convenience of seeing a provider via a virtual meeting. I work a lot of hours that sometimes unpredictable, so virtual visits definitely come in handy.
Aydan
Oh my word! This experience has changed my life. No more wasted time in traffic, being exposed to others’ germs, long waits in the ‘waiting’ room. I’ve gotten the help I didn’t know I needed. And the providers are consistently working with me to tweak things or address anything else that might not be quite right. I have cried tears of happiness at having hope again, and how much better I feel!
Lindsay
The process was easy and quick. I waited months for an appointment with an office and missed it. With Circle Medical I was seen and treated in a few days. Amazing.
Nikki
I have recommended to several friends. The process, UI, and providers are very quick and caring. It is perhaps the easiest to use system I’ve ever seen. I highly highly recommend the organization.
Zeke
Fantastic providers and communication. Ease of use, virtual appointments, on-time for every appointment. They are quick and thorough.

Medical weight loss is weight loss that is guided or supervised by a healthcare professional. A healthcare provider can take a look at your health history and examine your current health to determine a safe and sustainable path to help you lose weight. A medical weight loss program may involve diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and prescription medication if medically necessary.Along with helping you safely lose weight, the goal is to also to identify and understand the underlying reasons for your weight gain in the first place.
Losing weight will be a different journey for everyone. Weight loss programs are not a one-size-fits-all approach, and your needs may vary based on your health, weight, age, and other factors. With that being said, there are some general guidelines for health weight loss. These include:
Remember, weight loss can take time. It’s important to be patient and consistent when trying to achieve weight loss results.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) happens when your brain fails to signal breathing muscles. This leads to periods during the night where breathing stops and starts.
