Serving Santa Monica
Clinician-led GLP-1 treatment for patients in Santa Monica, covering the north-west of the region. The assessment is free, the reviews are remote, and the medication is delivered rather than collected.
Local service
The programme runs the same way here as everywhere else we cover: a full assessment, a prescription where it is clinically appropriate, and a review before every dose increase.
Because most of that is remote, living in Santa Monica does not mean fitting your treatment around somebody else's clinic hours. This is one of the areas where the distance to a downtown clinic was the reason people had put treatment off entirely.
Where something genuinely has to happen in person, usually bloodwork, it is arranged at a lab near you rather than at a single central address. Worth reading next: Free assessment, Do I qualify and Physician-supervised care.
How it works
A short form and a conversation. It establishes whether treatment is appropriate before anyone asks you for money.
History, current medication, measurements and bloodwork where it is needed, arranged at a lab close to you.
If treatment suits you, the prescription is issued and the medication is delivered to your address in Santa Monica.
Before each dose increase, and any time something needs raising. Fifteen minutes, remote, no travel.
Nearby areas
Patients come to us from Beverly Hills, Long Beach and Los Angeles as well, on the same programme and the same schedule.
If you are just outside the areas listed, it is still worth asking. Remote care makes the practical catchment considerably wider than a list of municipalities suggests. The detail sits in All service areas, Program cost and Insurance and coverage.

The same clinician-led options wherever you are in the area.
Common questions
Appointments, bloodwork, delivery and cost in your area.
The first month was slower than I hoped and they had told me it would be. That honesty kept me going.
Reviewed properly rather than left alone with a prescription for three months.
Told the full cost at the first appointment, including what happens if I stay on it long term.
A year on and it has stayed off, which was the part I did not believe would happen.
