I visited Dr. St. Laurent to go over issues I have that have developed over time. The office is beautiful and the staff that I worked with were wonderful. Dr. St. Laurent sat down and listened to my issues. He did not give me the impression he had any other patients- I was the number one and only focus during my visit. He explained my issues as well as did a really good drawing to make sure I understood. Highly impressed.

The Cost of
Non-Surgical Treatment
As a Supplement, Alternative, or Preparatory Treatment for Gastric Sleeve
Alongside our many surgical solutions, our Houston office offers nutritional counseling that involves taking prescription medication that can curb your appetite and addictive behavior while your counselor helps you adopt a sustainable and healthy diet. Counseling costs $900, which includes the initial consultation and six months of counseling. Medications can range from $150 to $1,600 per month, depending on your needs. Insurance can contribute to the cost of nutrition counseling, but medications aren't always covered. In many cases, our practice can compound drugs to make anything your provider won't cover much more affordable.
Losing weight is 90% psychological. Patients have to be able to commit to a healthier lifestyle, and this combination of weight loss counseling and meds can teach you how to make the change in a way that doesn't feel like a daily struggle.

I found Dr. St. Laurent and his team to be thorough, knowledgeable and professional regarding the entire weight loss, surgical journey. The care after surgery is comprehensive and lasts for a year. There are 2 dietitians on staff the offer unique, fact-based advice. I found that to be the differentiating factor in my decision to trust my medical care with NW Endo. I highly recommend, and have already referred my wife and close friend.
