Meridian Weight & Wellness
Verified listingAbout Meridian Weight & Wellness
Meridian Weight & Wellness takes a non-diet approach to weight loss, built around cognitive behavioral therapy and lifestyle counseling rather than medication. Notably, there's no mention anywhere of GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide or tirzepatide, or any other weight-loss medication — if you're specifically looking for a prescription-based program, this doesn't appear to be one, at least based on what's published.
The practice offers a free first nutrition counseling session to get started, which lowers the barrier to just trying it out before committing to anything. Beyond that first visit, most insurance plans are said to cover weight and wellness counseling at no cost to the patient — a potentially significant selling point if accurate for your specific plan, though "most insurance plans" is a general claim rather than a guarantee, so it's worth confirming with your own insurer before assuming a zero-dollar visit.
The practice also emphasizes "advanced, encrypted telemedicine technology" for HIPAA-compliant virtual visits, though it doesn't name which specific states it's licensed to treat patients in via telehealth — so if you're hoping to do this entirely remotely, confirm your state is covered before booking.
There's a real gap beyond these basics. A "Dr. Chaudhary" is mentioned in passing, without a full name or independently confirmable credentials, so who's actually running the clinical side of the practice isn't verifiable here. No pricing is published beyond that free first session — if ongoing sessions aren't covered by your insurance, you won't find out what they cost without asking.
Office hours run Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM — notably not open Monday or Wednesday, which is worth knowing if you're trying to schedule around a typical five-day work week.
For someone who wants a non-medication, therapy-based approach to weight loss and has insurance that might cover counseling visits, Meridian's free first session makes it low-risk to try. Just confirm coverage, telehealth-state eligibility, and the provider's credentials directly before relying on this alone.
