Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1 Medication in Atlanta

Medical weight loss at Oneka Bariatrics & Wellness in Atlanta is a physician-led, non-surgical program that pairs GLP-1 medication with nutrition guidance and ongoing follow-up, managed by Dr. Shani Belgrave, MD, FACS, FASMBS. Medications include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), and phentermine, with lab work and side-effect support. The program can begin at a BMI of 27 or higher, costs $150 for the initial consultation plus $100 per month (medication not included), and is available by telehealth to patients located anywhere in Georgia. Call (470) 250-0035.
If you want to lose weight without surgery, a physician-managed GLP-1 program can help. At Oneka, your medication, dosing, and monitoring are overseen by a board-certified surgeon, not a sign-up form, and you are supported across nutrition and mindset so the results last.

What GLP-1 medications can I get at Oneka?

Oneka prescribes semaglutide (the active medicine in Ozempic and Wegovy), tirzepatide (the active medicine in Mounjaro and Zepbound), and phentermine. Dr. Belgrave selects the medication and dose for you, monitors lab work, and manages side effects so you start safely and adjust as needed.

How much does the program cost?

Medical weight loss is $150 for the initial consultation plus $100 per month. Medication is not included in that fee, since pharmacy cost depends on your plan and the medicine chosen. A body composition scan, which tracks progress beyond the scale, is available as a $40 add-on. HSA and FSA are accepted when run as a credit card.

Who is a candidate?

Medical weight loss can begin at a BMI of 27 or higher, which makes it an option for many people who are overweight, not only those considering surgery. Candidacy is individualized and confirmed at consultation. Because Oneka is surgeon-led, you can explore surgery later if it becomes the better fit, without starting over at a new practice.

More than medication

Medication works best alongside nutrition and behavior change. Every medical weight-loss patient at Oneka can join Project Oneka, a six-week nutrition reset led by registered dietitian Casey Flowers, and Project Pivot, a six-week mindset program led by licensed psychologist Dr. Judi-Lee Webb.

Why choose Oneka for medical weight loss

At Oneka Bariatrics & Wellness, GLP-1 medical weight loss is managed by Dr. Shani Belgrave, a board-certified surgeon and Atlanta Magazine Top Doctor for 2025 and 2026. A real person answers the phone, appointments are often within 24 hours, and your dosing and side effects are physician-monitored rather than handled by an app.

Surgeon-led, so every path stays open

Unlike standalone medication clinics, Oneka is led by a bariatric surgeon. If you plateau on a GLP-1 medication or your needs change, Dr. Belgrave can guide you across nutrition programs, dose adjustments, or surgery, all within one practice and one record.

Transparent, published pricing

Oneka publishes its medical weight-loss pricing: $150 for the initial consultation and $100 per month, with medication billed separately through your pharmacy. A body composition scan is a $40 add-on. HSA and FSA are accepted when run as a credit card.

Why patients choose Oneka for GLP-1 medical weight loss

  • Physician-managed dosing, lab monitoring, and side-effect support from a board-certified surgeon, not an automated intake.
  • Transparent published pricing: $150 initial consult plus $100 per month, medication billed separately.
  • Telehealth across Georgia, so patients in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and beyond can start without traveling to Atlanta.
  • Surgeon-led continuity: if you plateau or your goals change, every other path stays open within the same practice.
  • Built-in nutrition and mindset support through Project Oneka and Project Pivot for results that hold.

GLP-1 weight loss in Dunwoody

Patients searching for medical weight loss and GLP-1 care in Dunwoody can be seen by Oneka in nearby Sandy Springs or by telehealth. Dr. Belgrave manages semaglutide and tirzepatide with monitoring, serving Dunwoody and the greater DeKalb and Fulton metro.

Help when a GLP-1 medication stops working

If your loss has stalled on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, Oneka can reassess dosing, nutrition, and whether a different path fits. As a surgeon-led practice, Oneka can move you between medication, lifestyle programs, and surgery without restarting elsewhere.

Medical weight loss for men

Men are often underrepresented in weight-loss care. Oneka offers private, physician-led GLP-1 programs for male patients with clear guidance on expectations, monitoring, and how medication fits alongside nutrition and activity.

Statewide telehealth for Georgia residents

Patients located anywhere in Georgia can access Oneka medical weight loss by telehealth, including prescribing, lab review, and follow-up. Care is limited to patients physically located in Georgia under the practice GA license.
