Services
McKenzie is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner, specializing primarily in weight loss and obesity medicine. She has trained extensively in bariatrics and practiced in the field for more than 10 years. Rather than prescribe GLP-1s utilizing a standardized protocol, McKenzie creates individualized treatment plans addressing her patient’s specific needs and weight loss goals. Additionally, she was one of the first providers in the area to offer compounded GLP-1s.

Celluma Red Light Body Contouring
Experience cutting edge non-invasive body sculpting with Celluma, a revolutionary red light therapy device FDA-cleared to help reduce the circumference of the hips, waist, and thighs.
Celluma red light body contouring works by emitting clinically proven red and near-infrared wavelengths that target fat cells beneath the skin’s surface. These wavelengths temporarily create pores in the fat cell membranes, allowing stored lipids to be released and naturally eliminated through the body’s metabolic processes. The result? Smaller fat cells, improved body contour, and a visibly slimmer appearance—all without surgery, downtime, or discomfort.
Achieve noticeable results—patients lose an average of 2 to 4 inches with just 3 sessions a week over 4 weeks!"
Lab Work
We draw labs in office for added convenience!
Before starting any treatment plan, comprehensive lab work is required to assess for underlying factors that may be impacting your metabolism, weight, and overall health. These may include: CBC, CMP, lipid panel, thyroid function, A1C.
Your lab results help us identify any barriers to weight loss, ensure it’s safe to begin certain therapies (including prescription medications), and create a plan that’s personalized, effective, and clinically appropriate for your needs.
Designed with a personalized approach, our telemedicine program connects you with our highly-skilled provider to help you achieve your weight loss goals, while offering you all the conveniences of an at home program.
