A Weight-loss Clinic New Orleans Patients Drive To, And Don't Have To

Most of the patients in our Metairie clinic come from New Orleans. Uptown, Lakeview, Mid-City, the French Quarter, the Westbank and Kenner are all a short drive up Veterans or across the Causeway approach, and the clinic sits in a private lot off N. Arnoult Road. If the drive is the obstacle, it is not required: the same physician-led program runs entirely by telehealth, with medication shipped to your door anywhere in Louisiana.

Chronos has treated more than 10,000 weight-loss patients since we began prescribing GLP-1 medications four years ago. Every plan is written and reviewed by a physician, and your follow-up visits are with a provider who knows your chart — not a questionnaire.
