Question I need help finding a doctor in Atlanta, GA
Hello! I am hoping someone knows of a doctor in my area. The problem is that the one I was going to used to charge a small fortune every month plus an additional fee for the Phentermine (obviously). By the end of the month I was spending about $200 . I am not a frequent Phentermine taker. I used to only take one a day at most and sometimes one every two ot three days and I was getting the results I was looking for- appetite control so I could manage my portions better. I never expected that I could find a magic pill but I have to say this does work miracles but unfortunately I cannot afford what I was being charged. I have kept off some of the weight (about 13lbs) but some crept back as I just got married and lived it up for the past several months. Some one please help! Thanks in advance.

-Amy

Hi Ladies! I live in Lawrenceville and am looking for a weight loss clinic that prescribes phentermine as well. I was getting it from my doctor, but am not sure I will continue with that doc. I currently know of two clinics. The first one is this clinic - the doc charges $160 for the first visit, which includes the meds. I am not sure what subsequent visits cost. The website is: http://www.doctorswellness.com/.

The other one - I know nothing about is http://www.shapemed.com/index.html. Shapemed.

Where do you currently go anais2112? I am looking for a cost effective clinic as well!!
With God on my side, all things are possible

$40 is pretty good! Do you have the number for that doctor? Is it a clinic, or a regular practitioner?

Wow! $40! That beats the doctor I have been seeing. Dr. Vidkin is her name. I am willing to travel but I currently live in Marietta. Please let us know where or who your doctor is. I even have a Sam's account already.

Okay, I am not in your area at all,, I'm in the Columbus OH area,, but i cant tell you I went thru the same torture trying to find someone. Someone else on another post just recommended opening the yellow pages to "weight loss" and seeing if there are any MDs listed there and give them a call. It worked, whew! have you tried the yellow pages under weight loss yet?

Yeah, I did that. The problem is that many that are in the phone book are clinics that charge $80+ for an office visit and then $80 for the pills. That is far too much for me to afford. I know that there are some out there that are smaller and will not charge nearly as much.

There is a GP (General Practice) in Lithonia on Memorial Drive that prescribes them when you need to lose 30+ lbs. Send me message for the information if your interested. I don't want to just post their info all out here online all willy nilly Anyway the office visit is between $25-30 (depending on your insurance - if u have any)...and the pills are $29 (at Ingles Pharmacy). So that's only about $60 for a months supply...and they are the blue and white ones. Good Luck to everyone!
