We do not use prepackaged foods or liquid diets & the food we recommend for our program can be found in your grocery store. Our main goal is to motivate you toward new eating habits as well as to control fat intake, so ideally you will keep the weight off! We have developed this program because we know that dieting for long periods of time and yo-yo dieting lowers the metabolism, which can make weight loss a struggle. We will guide you in ways to avoid this. If you already have this problem, we will help you correct it. When you reach your goal weight, you will be instructed on a healthy balanced diet to maintain your weight.

Along with the education and support we will provide, there are other ways we can help you. We have available a natural hormone called hCG, which stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. hCg is believed to break down your abnormal body fat, causing you to lose inches. At the same time, it protects your body's good fat (endogenous) and muscle from depleting. That means that you can go on a low calorie food plan and lose weight without the typical problems such as muscle loss and sagging skin.

We do have prescription appetite suppressants available that have been used to assist with weight loss for over 40 years. These give you great will-power by curbing your appetite, making it easier to eat the right food in the correct proportions for successful weight loss. We also have natural alternatives and enhancers. These products can jumpstart your metabolism, burn more calories, reduce body fat, and block carbohydrates from being stored as fat. All of our products are made of top quality pharmaceutical grade ingredients, compounded specifically for us. The staff and our patients use them with great results.

Each new patient visit starts with a consultation with one of our staff. A complete history, physical exam, determination oxour metabolic rate and % body fat is obtained. Once a diet is decided upon, a cleanse is started and we make sure we have the labs and possibly the ecg that we need. Then a diet is customized for your particular situation. Two weeks later you will see Dr. Potts, Beth Booker, FNP-C or Kelley Steele, FNP-C to start the actual medication(s). You will be followed closely by our staff with weekly weight and follow up visits as often as every two weeks.

During your initial visit, it will be determined which parts of the basic program would be most beneficial for you, and that would dictate the amount of your fee. The fee has a broad range in order to accommodate your personal budget changes and the diet best for you.

Don't let your past experiences of trying to lose weight keep you from picking up the phone and calling us. Remember, our purpose in being here is to help you lose weight. We want to do that in a way that contributes to your health, happiness and long-term weight goals.

Since most insurance companies do not pay for the primary diagnosis of weight loss and obesity, we do not and will not bill insurance for our services. But, since we do not have to bill insurance, we can keep our costs lower than a traditional medical practice!

If we can assist you in any way, or if you would like to make an appointment, please call us at (816) 232-SKIN (7546). We would be happy to help you get started. Thank you for visiting our website!

When setting up an appointment please give us your name and address so we may send the pre-visit forms to you or you may print them (see below). It will take one hour to complete these.

Please bring any labs (thyroid, complete blood count, chemistry group and lipid panel) and an ECG from the last year to your visit. Failure to do so will require us to order lab and an ECG which will cost you more money and delay our ability to get you started on our program.

Please print out these forms, fill them out and bring them to your visit:
