Private Medical Weight Loss in Miami
Private, clinician-led telehealth for eligible adults in Miami and across Florida, with individualized care, discreet follow-up, and direct provider access. Your plan begins with a detailed clinical evaluation and may include nutrition, movement, laboratory review, medication when appropriate, and ongoing support designed around your health, schedule, and goals.
A Private Medical Weight Loss Evaluation
Your provider reviews your weight history, health conditions, previous efforts, medications, eating patterns, sleep, activity, stress, pregnancy considerations, and relevant laboratory results. The purpose is to understand what may be driving the change and what will make the plan safer and more sustainable.
You leave the evaluation with a clear next step, not a generic protocol.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a GLP-1 program?
Medication may be part of your plan when it is clinically appropriate, but it is never the whole plan. We treat metabolism, hormones, muscle, sleep and stress so results hold after the medication changes. Read our Weight-Loss Consumer Bill of Rights to understand what to expect before you begin."
Is this a telehealth medical weight loss program?
Yes. Umber Health serves eligible adults in Miami and throughout Florida by telehealth only. Visits are virtual, and laboratory testing is coordinated locally when needed.
Does every patient receive weight loss medication?
No. Medication depends on the evaluation, eligibility, potential benefits and risks, availability, and patient preference.
How do you help protect muscle during weight loss?
The plan may include adequate protein, resistance training, appropriate pacing, and monitoring of strength or body composition.
