How a physician-supervised semaglutide program works in Tampa, who is a good candidate, what it costs in plain terms, and why supervision beats a med-spa script.

How the program works

You start with a physician visit and baseline labs to confirm semaglutide is appropriate for you. From there the program runs on monthly telehealth check-ins to adjust your dose and manage side effects, quarterly labs to track metabolic markers, and medication shipped to your home.

Dosing is titrated up slowly on purpose. Starting low and increasing gradually is what limits side effects like nausea and gives your body time to adjust. Dr. Rishi Seth oversees the full course rather than handing you a fixed prescription and stepping away.

Who is a good candidate

Semaglutide tends to fit people who have struggled to lose weight through diet and activity alone and who can commit to monitoring over months rather than weeks. The evaluation looks at your history, current medications, and labs before anything is prescribed.

It is not right for everyone, and that is the point of the visit. A physician can tell you honestly whether it fits, where the risks sit for you, and what realistic progress looks like.

What it costs and why supervision matters

Pricing is transparent and shared up front. Concierge members pay only for the medication and related labs at cost, and the program is also available as a standalone offering for non-members. We go over the numbers before you start so there are no surprises.

A med-spa script gets you a vial and little else. The difference here is supervision: real titration, labs that catch problems early, and one physician who adjusts the plan based on how you actually respond. That is what protects results and keeps the medication safe over time.
