Frequently asked questions
Do you prescribe Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro?
Yes. Dr. Splenser actively prescribes and manages GLP-1 and dual-agonist medications, including dose escalation, side-effect management and insurance prior authorizations.
Will my insurance cover GLP-1 medications?
Coverage varies. We help check your benefits, submit prior authorizations when needed, and discuss alternatives if a medication is not covered.
Is medical weight loss safe long-term?
When supervised by an endocrinologist, yes. Dr. Splenser monitors labs, body composition, side effects and overall metabolic health throughout treatment.
Do I need to be on medication forever?
Not necessarily. Some patients use GLP-1s for a defined period; others benefit from ongoing therapy. We tailor the duration to your goals and biology.
