This personalized approach, overseen by our board-certified physicians, ensures efficiency, safety, and reduced risk associated with rapid weight loss. You are not just a number to us, but a unique individual with unique needs.

To increase the benefits of a weight loss plan, it is recommended to supervise it with a qualified doctor while safeguarding your health.
Components of Concur’s Medical Weight Loss Programs
Our best weight loss program includes multiple elements such as lifestyle coaching, medical interventions, and behavioral counselling that help address weight from different angles. We develop a comprehensive plan based on weight loss injections and traditional strategies. A typical weight loss program has the following components:
- Customized meal replacement
- Dietary supplements
- FDA-approved injectables
- Semaglutide therapy
- Behavioral strategies such as goal setting and stress management
By integrating these components, we create a well-regulated program that adapts to your progress.
Exploring FDA-approved Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections are growing in popularity because they effectively aid weight reduction. These injections work on your body by mimicking hormones that regulate food intake and appetite.
| Injection | Dosing | Efficacy | Benefits |
| Weggovy | Weekly subcutaneous | 15% of body weight | Long-term satiety |
| Saxenda | Daily subcutaneous | 5-10% of body weight | Fine-tunes appetite control |
| Mounjaro | Weekly, off-label | 10-15% in trials | Dual hormone action |
These weight loss injections have revolutionized medical weight loss by delivering results beyond traditional methods. We guide our patients through injections to ensure safe and practical support.
Prescription Weight Loss Medication
When lifestyle changes alone aren’t enough, prescription weight loss medication can support you on your journey. Concur prescribes FDA-approved medications to enhance patients’ metabolic rate and appetite control.
- Orlistat helps in reducing fat absorption.
- Naltrexone- Bupropion helps in managing cravings.
- Phentermine- Topiramate is an appetite suppressant.
We combine exercise and nutrition to promote better outcomes and support consistent, sustainable weight loss.
Consultation and Screening for Weight Loss
Your journey towards a healthier life starts with a risk assessment quiz. It is designed to evaluate your health status and identify potential risks. This is facilitated by a comprehensive consultation, virtually or at one of our Norcross or Johns Creek offices. Based on your goals, history, and baseline metrics, a blueprint is prepared for future evaluation.
- Goal setting session- SMART objectives are set
- Online intake- lifestyle survey plus health history
- In clinic vitals- body-composition scan, body mass index, and lab tests
- Digital risk report- personalized recommendations
This data-driven approach ensures that your plan is custom-fit from day 1. You will know your current position and the pathway to start your health journey.
Advanced Medical Assessment and Diagnostics
Understanding your body’s unique chemistry is essential for effective obesity treatment. We provide optional advanced diagnostics and same-day lab tests to uncover metabolic blockages, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient gaps. In advanced medical assessment, the following key aspects are examined.
- Vitamins B12, D, and micronutrient levels
- Thyroid panel and comprehensive metabolic panel
- Genetic markers for apatite and fast-storage tendencies
- Optional body composition DEXA or bioimpedance scan
Knowledgeable with insights, our physician fine-tunes every injection, medication, and lifestyle modification where precision leads to better results.
Personalized Nutrition Program
Our qualified dietitians create a how-to-lose-weight plan that matches your lifestyle preference. There are various options, such as keto, plant-based diets, or the Mediterranean diet. These diets are enhanced with a constantly expanding recipe library. In a personalized nutrition plan, we provide weekly menus with calorie targets. You can find cooking and recipe videos in our mobile app. Our pantry checklist and grocery list generator help you stay organized and make smarter shopping decisions. For special diets and dining out, there are swap-out guides.
Sticking to a healthy diet is easier when it is based on convenience, diverse food choices, and supportive, enjoyable guidance.
