Medical Weight Loss in Jacksonville, FL: Physician-Supervised Programs for Safe, Lasting Results
GLP-1 injectable therapy guided by Dr. Patel, with weekly consults and honest self-pay pricing built into every program.
A Physician-Supervised Path to Lasting Weight Loss
Real medical guidance, not a one-size-fits-all diet plan.
Losing weight and keeping it off is rarely about willpower alone. At Reliance Primary & Urgent Care, medical weight loss is directed by Dr. Vishal Patel, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience. Every program is supervised by a physician, tailored to your health history and goals, and supported week by week so you are never left to figure it out on your own.
Our programs use GLP-1 injectable therapy, a class of physician-prescribed medications that help regulate appetite and blood sugar so it is easier to eat less, feel full sooner, and steadily reduce weight. Because these are prescription medications, treatment begins with a medical evaluation to confirm the approach is safe and appropriate for you. Dr. Patel then sets a starting dose, monitors how you respond, and adjusts the plan as you progress.
Weekly consults are included in every program, so you have regular check-ins to review your progress, manage any side effects, and stay on track. Pricing is transparent and self-pay: programs start at $200 to $260 for a starting dose and range up to $450 to $700 at the highest dose, with weekly consults built in. CareCredit financing is accepted for eligible services.

Medical Weight Loss Questions, Answered
How does GLP-1 injectable therapy work?
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. They slow how quickly the stomach empties and signal fullness to the brain, so you feel satisfied sooner and eat less. Combined with physician guidance and weekly support, this makes it easier to lose weight steadily and keep it off.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 therapy that curbs appetite for steady, sustainable results. Tirzepatide is a dual-action therapy that works on two hormone pathways and is often chosen by patients seeking faster progress. During your consult, Dr. Patel reviews your goals and health history to help you choose. You can also compare semaglutide vs tirzepatide on our blog.

Who qualifies for medical weight loss?
