Medical weight loss is a plan designed and supervised by healthcare professionals, emphasizing diet, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle. Our clinical teams and insurance coordinators can assist you in understanding your medication coverage with your insurance.
We understand that losing weight and keeping it off is difficult. It not only harms your health, but your quality of life and the way you feel about yourself. Our clinic is on the forefront of providing metabolic surgery for fighting the diseases of diabetes and obesity.
At KBI, we believe you're a patient for life. We're here for you during celebrations and milestones but also when there are bumps in the road. From dietician consults, to follow-up appointments and psychiatry support, we're every step of the way.
We're proud to offer three accessible clinic locations for quick availibility throughout Kentucky.
