Medical Weight Loss to Specialty Services
How to lose weight and keep it off Diet and exercise play a very heavy hand in helping you achieve your health goals, but it’s hard to know where to get started. Especially since there is a lot of misinformation out there. As a patient, you have access to a lot of resources to help you safely lose weight and keep it off for good. There are a new class of drugs available to patients, known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone that is released in the gastrointestinal tract in response to eating. One role of GLP-1 is to prompt the body to produce more insulin, which reduces blood glucose. GLP-1 agonists are popular medications used to treat Type 2 Diabetes. Some are also approved for weight loss. Ozempic and Victoza are examples that treat Type 2 diabetes, while Wegovy and Saxenda are higher-dose versions of each medication, used for weight loss. If you are interested in learning more about these drugs and how we can help you lose and maintain weight loss, give us a call to book an appointment. If insurance does not cover these medications, we offer a compounded version people are doing amazing on.
Cosmetic Injections
Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved treatment for the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It was originally used as a treatment for fasciculations, or excessive contractions, of the muscles around the eyes. Due to the beneficial cosmetic side effects these patients had, Botox® Cosmetic was approved at a lower dose to treat lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows, across the forehead, and around the eyes.
Kastle Donovan, CRNP and Catherine Wilson, CRNP have been specially trained in the administration of Botox® Cosmetic. In 2019, Kastle Donovan achieved membership with the Brilliant Distinctions Customer Loyalty program, which gives patients exclusive discounts on Allergan products like Botox®.
Botox® treatments are temporary and for most patients last three months on average.
Please contact the office for information on pricing and scheduling your consultation.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Annapolis Family Medicine is happy to offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). This therapy, which utilizes bioidentical pellet therapy, is targeted to help men with low testosterone levels as well as women both pre- and post-menopausal. BHRT has been known to treat syptoms such as depression, low libido, fatigue, brain fog, lack of focus, energy, insomnia, hot flashes, and anxiety. In men this is accomplished with testosterone alone and for women it generally includes testosterone plus estrogen and progesterone. In addition to just feeling better, balancing your hormones has many long term health benefits. The process begins with a consultation with the provider, followed by a comprehensive blood panel and then you return for your insertion if appropriate. At Annapolis Family Medicine we truly believe in whole body wellness and optimal aging so encourage you to call for more information.
Travel Medicine
We have been providing travel medicine advice in the Annapolis community for over 30 years. We review carefully the medical risks, and work with the traveler to offer the best guidance based on the latest information.
The greatest risk for international travelers are normally due to insect stings and food or water contamination. Others topics we routinely address are altitude sickness, motion sickness, barotrauma, jet lag and travel related clots or DVTs.
We screen countries of travel for any acute disease, and of course in 2020 we all are away of the dangers of pandemics and the risks to travelers. We have the knowledge of travel risks, the latest information to guide you, and most of the vaccines one would need. Call and set up an appointment to plan for your next adventure. Stay safe.
