A weight loss clinic that actually practices medicine
FDA-approved medications, in-person care, dietitian support, and insurance accepted. Chesapeake, VA.
We kept seeing the same problem
Patients couldn't find a weight loss clinic that actually practiced medicine. They'd get a prescription from an app, or a compounded injection from who-knows-where, and nobody checked in on them after week one. We thought that was unacceptable.
So we opened PEAK in Chesapeake, Virginia — a clinic focused entirely on medical weight loss. We prescribe FDA-approved medications like Wegovy and Zepbound, pair every patient with a registered dietitian, and do the insurance legwork before the first visit. That's it. No supplements, no proprietary blends, no upsells.
What we actually do, and what most clinics skip
FDA-approved medications only
Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound from licensed manufacturers. No compounded GLP-1s — the FDA has flagged dosing and sterility concerns with those products.
Insurance verified before you visit
We accept Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Sentara, and TRICARE (commercial plans), handle prior authorizations, and confirm coverage before you walk in. Medicare and Medicaid plans are not accepted. See accepted plans.
Dietitian on every care plan
Medications work better with nutritional guidance. Your dietitian builds a plan around your preferences and your life — not a generic handout.
In-person first visit, always
Your provider does an exam, reviews your labs, and builds your plan face-to-face. Follow-ups can be telehealth when it makes sense.
You see the same provider at each visit. Your dietitian knows what you ate last week. Your care team talks to each other directly — not through automated portals. If you want to know what to expect, read our guide to your first weight loss visit or check the FAQ.
The people behind PEAK
Weight loss is all we do. Our providers specialize in obesity medicine — it's not a sideline. We keep the team small on purpose so every patient knows their provider by name, and every provider knows their patients' stories.
The team includes board-certified clinicians who prescribe and manage your medications, a registered dietitian who handles nutrition planning, and a medical director (Dr. Eric Byman) who oversees clinical standards. Meet the full team.
