Why Our Medical Weight Loss Program Works When Others Don't
At Maverick Healthcare, we take a scientific approach to weight loss. Dr. McGill reviews your health history, medications, and body composition to identify what’s been holding you back. As a trusted medical weight loss clinic, our patients succeed where other programs fail because we treat weight as the medical issue it truly is. When diet and exercise aren’t enough, our medical expertise, including GLP-1 medications, makes all the difference.
What We Offer at Our Weight Loss Clinic
Complete Health Assessment
We start with thorough testing including bloodwork, body composition analysis, and health history review. Dr. McGill looks for factors affecting your weight, from thyroid function to metabolism. This detailed assessment builds the foundation for your personalized medical weight loss program.
FDA-Approved Medications
When appropriate, Dr. McGill may prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. You'll get clear information about how these medications operate, their advantages, and possible adverse effects. These medical tools help overcome biological barriers to weight loss.
Practical Nutrition Planning
Our weight management services provide straightforward nutrition guidance based on your body's specific needs. You'll get realistic meal plans that fit your life, with no extreme diets or impossible restrictions. We emphasize healthy food choices to aid in weight loss and general wellness.
Ongoing Medical Support
Regular check-ups with Dr. McGill ensure your weight loss progresses safely and effectively. We monitor your health markers, adjust your plan when needed, and provide the accountability that helps you stay on track.
GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
Our GLP-1 medications program is designed for patients who need extra medical support to reach their goals. Dr. McGill prescribes Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, two of the most effective FDA-approved GLP-1 medications available today. These medications work by regulating appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel fuller longer and reduce cravings.
As part of our weight loss management (Including GLP-1) approach, every patient receives:
- A full medical evaluation to determine GLP-1 eligibility
- Dosage guidance and titration schedules supervised by Dr. McGill

Answering Common Questions About Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss addresses the physical causes of weight gain under a weight management doctor. Rather than just cutting calories, we identify and treat health factors preventing weight loss, giving you much better results than dieting alone.
Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program that combines lab testing, personalized nutrition, and FDA-approved medications like GLP-1 treatments to address the root medical causes of weight gain, rather than relying on diet and willpower alone.
Yes. Medical weight loss programs are supervised by a licensed physician who reviews your health history before recommending treatment. Medications, including GLP-1 options, are FDA-approved and monitored closely for safety and effectiveness throughout your care.
Most patients see Dr. McGill every 2 to 3 weeks during active weight loss. As you progress, visits typically become monthly. Your schedule will depend on your specific plan and progress.
Many insurance plans cover the medical visits and testing portions. Coverage for medications varies by provider. Our staff can check your specific coverage before you begin.
Our patients typically lose 3 to 5 pounds per week initially, with 1 to 2 pounds weekly as they continue. More importantly, our patients maintain long-term results, unlike most diets where weight returns quickly.
The drugs we prescribe, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, are FDA-approved and secure when used as instructed under medical oversight. Dr. McGill carefully evaluates your medical history before prescribing and monitors for potential side effects throughout treatment.
It varies by individual. Some patients benefit from short-term medication during active weight loss, while others may need longer-term treatment, especially for maintenance. Dr. McGill will create a personalized plan for your specific situation.
