Side effects can vary from person to person, but for most patients they are mild and tend toimprove as the body adjusts to the medication. If needed, we can prescribe supportivemedications—such as Zofran—to help manage side effects.
The most common side effects include:
While Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generally well tolerated and safe to use, they cannot be taken if you have any of the following:
During your first visit, we’ll talk through your weight loss goals and what has or hasn’t worked foryou in the past. Dr. Basi will then review your medical history and perform a brief physical exam.If appropriate, Dr. Basi and his team will create a personalized treatment plan that includesnutrition guidance, an exercise plan, and GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide orTirzepatide.
Please note that not everyone is eligible for GLP-1 medications due to medical history or currenthealth conditions. In those cases, we also offer a prescription appetite suppressant programusing medications such as Phentermine, Phendimetrazine, or Diethylpropion.
During your initial visit, we’ll prescribe your medication and show you how to administerinjections at home. If you prefer, you’re welcome to visit the office for complimentary injections.Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled monthly and can be more frequent based onyour needs. Medications are dispensed on a monthly basis, and our expert medical staff isavailable by phone 24/7 or via email.
I have been seeing Dr. Basi for several years. His guidance has taught me healthier life habits as well as providing to tools to help me with my weight loss journey. Igo at my own pace. Ican't recommend this clinic and it's staff highly enough!!
After trying every diet, book, video, workout, pill etc., I realized that I just couldn’t do this alone. I called a few clinics and remember most of them jumping right into their prices and asking If I could afford their program. It felt very cold and demotivating. That was, until I called Dr. Basi and his team.
I moved to California from Georgia in November 2013. I had become overweight that year, gaining 30 pounds, absolutely unaware of how it happened. I had no illnesses nor had my lifestyle changed to cause a rapid weight gain. I justified it by saying that it was a normal change for a woman in her forties.
Dr. Basi is wonderful, and his weight loss plan is AMAZING. My goal was to get down to 150 lbs. I’m now 147. I’ve lost over 40 lbs. in 5 months. Keeping a diary of what I eat helped me to overhaul what and how I eat. It also forced me to find other ways to settle my emotions besides comfort eating.
I've been seeing Dr. Basi off and on for several years, and his concern for my care is honest. He knows what medications work best for me and coaches me in the best practices to reach my goal.
Wonderful experience with Sunrise Health Medical. I have received terrific support throughout my weight loss journey. Dr. Basi is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and provides outstanding quality care. I highly recommend becoming his patient.
Dr. Basi is the reason I have stuck with his program and have lost 47 pounds. He is relational and encouraging. His support and acceptance through this process have been key. I have had weeks where I didn’t lose any weight and some weeks where I even gained some weight.
