WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING OR HAVE READY FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT? WHAT IS AN APPOINTMENT LIKE?
On your first in-person visit, we will need your ID and paperwork. We encourage clients to send it prior to their appointment electronically, but you may fill it out in person. An associate will then take your height, weight, and blood pressure (no blood work). We'll then discuss the medication Dr. Collado will prescribe, the legality & side effects of the medication, a nutrition plan, and recommended cardio regimen. Lastly, you'll meet with one of our providers, who will also send your prescription electronically to a pharmacy.
