A more personal standard of care

Clinical judgment. Personal attention. A clear standard of care.

At Diverse Care Now, every recommendation begins with an individual clinical evaluation—not a template.

Laura Uchôa, APRN, approaches weight management by considering medical history, current health, treatment goals, and the level of follow-up each person may need. When medication is considered, eligibility and treatment decisions are determined only after evaluation.

Care decisions are based on the individual—not a preset protocol.

Physician-Guided Weight Management

A Medical Plan That Starts With the Whole Picture.

Weight management is more than choosing a medication. Every care plan begins with a medical evaluation and is developed around your health history, clinical needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

Review of your health history, current medications, relevant clinical factors, and treatment goals.

Individualized Care Plan

Recommendations designed around your clinical profile rather than a standard, one-size-fits-all protocol.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Support

Practical guidance to support healthier eating patterns, daily consistency, and sustainable habits.

Ongoing Medical Follow-Up

Continued clinical monitoring, progress reviews, and adjustments based on your individual response.

Prescription Treatment When Clinically Appropriate

Prescription treatment, including GLP-1 therapy, may be considered only after an individual medical evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.

Start With a Medical Evaluation

Individual results vary. Not all patients are candidates for every treatment.

I originally left a review because I was frustrated with the clinic’s lack of communication regarding my care. In response, the clinic publicly stated that I had never reached out about my concerns. That statement was inaccurate. I had records of my communications showing that I did, in fact, contact the clinic multiple times regarding the issue. After my review, the clinic reached out to me directly, acknowledged my concerns, and worked to resolve the situation. I genuinely appreciated that effort and was willing to move forward as a patient because I believed we had reached a positive resolution. Unfortunately, despite resolving the original issue, I was later informed that I would no longer be allowed to receive care at the clinic because of the negative review I had posted. I find it disappointing that, after addressing my concerns and restoring my confidence, the decision was made to end the patient relationship based on my honest feedback. I believe reviews exist so patients can share their real experiences—both positive and negative. My original review reflected my experience at that time, and I had evidence to support the concerns I raised. I was hopeful we could move forward after the issue was resolved, but instead I was denied the opportunity to continue as a patient. I encourage anyone considering this clinic to pay close attention not only to the quality of care they receive, but also to how concerns are handled and how patients who provide honest feedback are treated. I had to delete my old one because you can’t do 2 reviews on the same business. No longer recommend this no anyone.

Medical Weight Management FAQ

Clear answers.
Individual medical care.

Understand the evaluation, treatment options, follow-up, and medication disclosures before deciding whether medical weight management is appropriate for you.

Treatment starts with a medical evaluation.

Medication selection, dosage, eligibility, and follow-up are determined individually by a licensed healthcare provider.

Schedule a Medical Evaluation
01 What are GLP-1 medications?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are prescription medications that act on pathways involved in blood sugar regulation, appetite, and digestion. Some specific GLP-1 products are FDA-approved for specific uses, including type 2 diabetes or chronic weight management. FDA approval applies to the individual product and its approved indication—not automatically to every medication or formulation in the class.

02 Are compounded GLP-1 medications FDA-approved?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. Compounded medications are also not the same as FDA-approved generic drugs. If a compounded medication is considered, your provider will discuss the treatment decision and provide appropriate instructions.

03 Are GLP-1 medications safe for everyone?

No. These medications are not appropriate for every patient. A licensed healthcare provider must review your medical history, current medications, potential contraindications, and treatment goals. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort; serious risks are also possible. Your provider will review relevant risks and monitoring before prescribing.

04 Is medication guaranteed after the consultation?

No. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription, a specific medication, or a specific dosage. Treatment is recommended only when a licensed healthcare provider determines that it is clinically appropriate after an individual medical evaluation.

05 How much weight can I expect to lose?

There is no guaranteed amount of weight loss. Outcomes vary based on medical history, the treatment selected, nutrition, physical activity, adherence, and individual response. Your provider will discuss realistic, individualized goals and monitor your progress over time.

06 How soon will I see results?

Response and timing differ for every patient. Dose changes and follow-up are based on clinical response and tolerability. Your provider will evaluate progress during follow-up visits rather than promise a fixed timeline.

07 Do I still need nutrition and physical activity?

Yes. Medical weight management is designed to work alongside an individualized nutrition plan, appropriate physical activity, and sustainable daily habits. Recommendations are adjusted to your health status, abilities, and clinical needs.

08 What is included in the program?

The program includes the medical consultation, prescription medication when clinically appropriate, and weekly follow-up support. Laboratory tests and other diagnostic examinations are not included and may be ordered or billed separately when medically necessary.

09 Where are Diverse Care Now services available?

In-person services are available at our Pompano Beach, Florida clinic. Telehealth services are available to eligible patients located in Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, subject to provider availability, patient eligibility, and applicable law.
