Improving Wellbeing Through Medical Weight Loss

About
Casa Health Collaborative

Welcome, I’m Dr. Cristina Woodhouse.  I am a board-certified familiy physician with years of experience doing weight management via telehealth and in person. I created Casa Health Collabortive to support the many adults who are looking for a physician to support their weight loss journey but who may not have the time or money to work with traditional health care/insurance platforms. By utilizing telehealth synchronous and asynchronous (which means not live) care and straightforward costs, I will work with you to get the weight loss medication that can make a true and powerful difference in your life all from the comfort of your home.  

My job is to collaborate with each patient and to provide you safe options to achieve your goals.  I will always put safety first and will let you know if I do not feel an option is safe.  But beyond that, I will give you the information to make an informed decision about what is right for you.  That is where the word collaborative in the name comes in - I am working with you and your unique needs.

Because this is small, non-insurance practice I also think it’s important for you to decide if this is the right fit for you. I do telehealth only - there are NO in-person visits. I do not take insurance so you would need to prepared to pay the out of pocket costs (listed below). I do not work weekends and I communicate with patients by messaging during business hours only.  However, I promise that during my regular business hours I will do my best to answer your questions or direct you to someone who can, and to support you throughout the year. 

If you are ready to get your weight loss journey started with me, see below!

If you feel your weight has made it hard for you to acheive your goals in life, you are not alone. Excess weight can not only cause physical symptoms, medical problems, and decrease life expectancy, but it can impact your mental health and ability to live your best life. I am here to help you make a change.

The Process

  • Initial Video Consult $150

    Prior to your appointment you will fill out a detailed questionnaire about your medical history - please be honest as this is very important to make sure I’m keeping you safe and providing you with all available options.

    You will pay for and complete the initial video consult with me which will be 15 minutes. At that time, I will generally prescribe a weight loss medication unless you do not qualify.  If you do not qualify, you will be refunded 50% of the consultation fee.

  • Regular Asynchronous Care/Messaging

    Regular Asynchronous Care/Messaging $25 Monthly

    You will may a membership fee of $25 every 28-30 days that includes the monthly refill of your medication and unlimited asynchronous care which means messaging with me via our secure platform with all medical questions, concerns, and updates. This messaging replaces follow up appointments throughout the year.

    The cost of your medication is NOT included in this membership fee and you will pay for the medication directly to the pharmacy but I have done my best to find the lowest cost options and will explain further in detail at your initial consult.

  • Annual Follow Up Video Visit $100

    On an annual basis you will complete a 15 minute video visit to update me on your progress and any changes with your medical history. You can elect to do other follow up visits throughout the year but for most people they are unnecessary because you have access to me via asynchronous care/messaging at all times.
