What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss uses prescription medications, lab work, and provider oversight to support weight management in a structured clinical setting. This is not a diet program or a supplement protocol. It is a provider-supervised approach that addresses the physiological factors that make sustained weight loss difficult for many people, including insulin resistance, appetite regulation, and metabolic function.
At Hometown Primary Care, the program offers medications including GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, specifically Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. These are the same classes of medications behind Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, available here through
a provider who knows your full health picture and is invested in your progress from the first visit.

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide: What Is the Difference?
Semaglutide
Active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy
Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptor, which helps reduce appetite and slow gastric emptying. It is one of the most studied medications in its class and is a strong starting point for most patients beginning a GLP-1 weight loss program in Choctaw.
Availability
Available as Semaglutide in Choctaw through Hometown Primary Care, making it a more accessible option compared to brand-name pricing. The active ingredient is the same.
Tirzepatide
Active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound
Tirzepatide targets both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, a dual-action approach that may produce a stronger effect on appetite and blood sugar regulation for some patients. It is the newer of the two medications and continues to show strong results in clinical data.
Who It May Fit
Tirzepatide may be a better fit for patients who have already tried Semaglutide with limited response, or for those whose provider determines the dual-action mechanism is a stronger match for their metabolic profile.
Not sure which is right for you?
That decision is made together during your initial provider visit, based on your health history, current medications, and goals. You do not need to arrive with an answer.
The Program
What to Expect
Initial Provider Visit
Your first appointment covers your health history, current medications, and weight loss goals. Lab work may be ordered to establish a baseline and confirm the program is appropriate for your health profile.
Medication Selection and Start
Once your provider reviews your labs and health picture, a medication is selected, and a starting dose is prescribed. GLP-1 medications are started at a low dose and gradually increase over time.
Titration and Adjustment
Follow-up visits allow your provider to review how your body is responding and adjust the dose accordingly. This gradual titration process is what makes GLP-1 programs effective and well-tolerated in most patients.
Ongoing Accountability
Your provider stays involved throughout. Ongoing communication through the clinic keeps the plan on track and allows for adjustments as your goals or health picture evolve.

- BMI of 30 or higher, regardless of related conditions
- Has not reached weight goals through diet and exercise alone
- Not currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant

A Straightforward Note on This Program
GLP-1 medications are a powerful clinical tool, but they work best when used as part of a broader approach to health. At Hometown Primary Care, the program includes provider oversight and follow-up, not just a prescription and a handoff.
If you have questions about whether this program is appropriate for your specific health history, the initial provider visit is exactly where those questions belong. There is no pressure to commit before that conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Semaglutide the same as Ozempic?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. At Hometown Primary Care, brand-name GLP-1 medications are available and are the standard starting point for most patients. In certain clinical situations, such as documented intolerance or a dose not commercially available, your provider may prescribe compounded semaglutide on a patient-specific basis. Every prescribing decision, whether brand name or compounded, is made by Candace Herrin based on your individual health history, labs, and clinical needs.
Do I need insurance for this program?
No. The medical weight loss program is available as a cash-pay service and does not require insurance. Pricing is transparent and provided upfront at your first visit.
How long does the program last?
That depends on your goals and how your body responds to treatment. GLP-1 medications are typically used for several months and adjusted over time. Your provider will discuss a realistic timeline at your initial visit.
Can DPC members access this service?
Yes. DPC members receive a discounted rate on GLP-1 medications as part of their membership benefits, in addition to member visit pricing. Non-members are welcome to the program and will pay the standard non-member visit rate, plus the full medication price. Pricing for both tiers is transparently provided at your first visit, with no hidden fees.
What if the medication is not working as expected?
GLP-1 medications affect people differently. If your response to the initial medication or dose is limited, your provider will review your labs and adjust the plan accordingly.
