I had an incredible experience with the team at Lavena Health. The office was spotless, the staff was extremely professional, and they were so caring and supportive throughout my entire process. I truly felt heard and guided.
Amazing place! Dr. Saleh is a very patient and kind doctor. They really do help you achieve your goals, and it's honestly a very nice environment.
Support between prescriptions
Most of what makes GLP-1 treatment work happens between prescriptions: catching nausea or constipation early, deciding when a dose is ready to go up, and noticing a stall before it becomes a quit. That is why messaging with clinical staff is part of the base price, and why being close by helps if you add the +$49/month in-office upgrade with weekly weigh-ins.
