Why Acadiana patients use a New Orleans-area clinic without ever driving there

Lafayette has weight-loss options, but most of them are either a walk-in clinic with a different face each visit or a national app with no one to call. Chronos is a physician-led practice that has treated more than 10,000 weight-loss patients, and the telehealth program brings that to Acadiana on your schedule: a video visit with a Louisiana-licensed provider, labs drawn at Quest or Labcorp in Lafayette, medication shipped to your door, and a follow-up with the same provider next month.

We do not have a Lafayette office and we are not going to suggest a two-hour drive across the Basin. Nothing in the program requires it.

Built for schedules that don't fit a 2 p.m. Tuesday appointment

A lot of Acadiana works rotations — offshore, plant, hospital, oilfield service. Video visits are scheduled around that, and follow-ups can be moved when a hitch changes. The one requirement is a legal one: you must be physically in Louisiana during each video visit. If you are working out of state on the day of a visit, we reschedule; medication refills can continue on the plan already in place.

Keeping the food, losing the weight

Nobody in Lafayette is going to give up boudin, crawfish season or a Sunday gumbo, and we do not ask you to. GLP-1 medication changes how much you want to eat far more than what you eat. Our providers work with you on portions, protein and the handful of high-fat foods that cause the most nausea on these medications, and our registered dietitian is available by video for patients who want a plan built around the way they already cook.

How the Laffayette telehealth program works

Talk with a Provider
Step 1

Talk with a Provider

Meet by video with a medical provider for about 20 minutes. We’ll review your health history, medications, and goals, answer your questions, and discuss whether a GLP-1 makes sense for you.

  • A provider who listens
  • Guidance based on your health
  • Answers before you commit

The consultation is free with the compounded medication option. A $99 consultation fee applies if you choose brand-name medication.

Get Treatment Without the Drive
Step 2

Get Treatment Without the Drive

If medication is appropriate, compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide can be shipped to your door in Acadiana, with shipping included. For brand-name medication, we’ll send your prescription to your preferred Lafayette-area pharmacy and handle the prior authorization.

  • Medication delivered to Acadiana
  • Fast, convenient process
  • Your choice of local pharmacy (Brand-name option)

Shipping is included with compounded medication, so there’s no separate delivery charge.

Keep Your Provider in the Loop
Step 3

Keep Your Provider in the Loop

Check in by video every 6 weeks with a provider who has your chart. We’ll review your progress, address side effects or plateaus, and adjust your dose when appropriate.

  • Consistent provider follow-up
  • Support through plateaus
  • Adjustments as you progress

Follow-ups are included for compounded patients. Brand-name patients pay $99 per monthly provider visit.

    No. Our only clinic is in Metairie, about 130 miles east. The Lafayette program is designed so you never need to visit: video visits, labs in Lafayette, medication shipped to your home.


  • I work offshore or on a rotation. Can I still do this?

    Yes. Visits are scheduled around your hitch. You must be physically in Louisiana during each video visit; if you are out of state that day, we reschedule.

  • How much is it?

    The first consultation is free. Compounded semaglutide packages start at $149 and the extended package is $249; the tirzepatide extended package is $475. No membership.

    No. Visits are self-pay. Brand-name medication may be covered by your pharmacy benefit; we handle the prior authorization.

  • Can my spouse and I both enroll?

    Yes. Each patient has a separate consultation and plan; visits can be scheduled back to back.
