Could Wegovy® help your teen?
Many parents ask us if weight-loss medications are safe for adolescents.
The answer is: sometimes—but only after a careful medical evaluation.
At Julie Tomberlin MD, PA, Dr. Julie Tomberlin and her excellent nurse practitioners evaluate teens individually to determine whether GLP-1 medications like Wegovy® are appropriate.
We don't simply prescribe medication—we provide:
✅ Comprehensive medical evaluations
✅ Careful screening for underlying medical conditions
✅ Gradual dose adjustments
✅ Close follow-up visits
✅ Ongoing nutrition and lifestyle guidance
✅ Careful monitoring for side effects
For eligible patients, we prescribe FDA-approved Wegovy®. If insurance does not cover treatment, we may also discuss compounded semaglutide from a trusted pharmacy when appropriate.
Every teen deserves an individualized plan.
