Medical Weight Management in Dallas — physician-supervised GLP-1 programs
Losing weight isn't about willpower. It's about biology — and having a medical team that understands it. We combine compounded GLP-1 medications with in-person monitoring, lab work, and a whole-person care plan built around your health. In-person care is our foundation — with telemedicine visits available when they fit your life. Just real results under real medical supervision.
Weight loss medications are available from dozens of providers now — telehealth apps, med spas, even online pharmacies. So why does it matter where you go? Because medication is only one piece of the puzzle. Without proper medical oversight, patients risk side effects, plateaus, muscle loss, nutritional deficiencies, and rebound weight gain. At Innovare Tx, weight management is a medical program — not a prescription mill.
What sets us apart
- In-person medical supervision — every patient can see our provider face-to-face, with telemedicine visits available when in-person isn't convenient
- In-clinic compounded tirzepatide at $160/mo (or $249/mo home delivery)

- 27 years of clinical experience from Charles Ortega, PA-C on every care plan
- Whole-person approach — nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, and underlying conditions

Our weight management program
Too many clinics treat medical weight loss like a vending machine — pay, get a prescription, figure out the rest yourself. We built our program around what actually produces lasting results: comprehensive care, consistent monitoring, and a provider who knows your name.
Initial consultation & assessment
Full health history, physical exam, goal discussion, BMI evaluation, and candidacy screening.
Discounted comprehensive lab work
Lab work is recommended. Weight-loss members can get a discounted $75 panel that includes CBC, CMP, lipid panel, A1c, and TSH.
Personalized medication plan
Compounded tirzepatide or compounded semaglutide with starting dose and titration schedule.
Regular check-ins
You see a medical assistant for your regular weekly visit, plus a scheduled 20-minute appointment with Charles every 6 weeks — or every 4 to 5 weeks if you need a dosage adjustment.
In-clinic biometrics
In-clinic patients can track % body fat, % muscle, visceral fat score, resting metabolism, and BMI at every visit — weekly or monthly, your choice.
Nutrition counseling
Practical dietary guidance designed to work with your medication and lifestyle.
Ongoing monitoring
Periodic lab re-checks to keep your metabolic health on track over time.
This isn’t a 30-day crash course. It’s a medically supervised program designed to help you lose weight safely and keep it off — with a structured wellness membership option for continued support.
GLP-1 medications: how they work
GLP-1 receptor agonists are a class of medications that have transformed medical weight loss. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, they mimic a natural hormone your body produces after eating. They:
- Reduce appetite — you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer
- Slow gastric emptying — food moves through your stomach more slowly
- Regulate blood sugar — stabilizing insulin and reducing spikes
- Support metabolic function — improving how your body processes energy
At Innovare Tx we prescribe two primary medications: compounded tirzepatide and compounded semaglutide — both given as a once-weekly injection — medications that can support weight loss as part of a medically supervised program. During your consultation, Charles Ortega reviews your health history, goals, and labs to recommend the best option for your body.
Both are prepared by a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy and are not FDA approved — the FDA has approved only the brand-name products. Compounded medications are prescribed when a patient has a clinical need that a commercially available product does not meet, a determination Charles Ortega, PA-C makes based on your individual health profile.
| Feature | Compounded tirzepatide | Compounded semaglutide |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Dual GIP/GLP-1 | GLP-1 only |
| Avg. weight loss | Up to 22.5% | Up to 15% |
| Administration | Weekly injection | Weekly injection |
| Compounded formulation | Yes | Yes |
| Cost at Innovare Tx | From $160/mo | From $140/mo |
Both are effective options for medically supervised weight loss. Compare compounded tirzepatide vs. compounded semaglutide
Compounded tirzepatide in Dallas — from $160/month
Compounded tirzepatide is a dual-action GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist — it activates two metabolic pathways instead of one, which makes it more effective than single-action options. In clinical studies, patients on the highest dose lost an average of about 22.5% of their body weight, with improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and A1C. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
We offer it at $160/month in-clinic ($249/mo home delivery), and many patients choose telemedicine for some of their follow-up visits. Your care includes monthly monitoring and side-effect support from Charles Ortega, PA-C.
In-person medical supervision — with the flexibility of telemedicine
There are clear advantages to our in-person program, but we also offer the flexibility of telemedicine. Whichever you choose, you work with the same provider — Charles Ortega, PA-C — and get the same standard of care. This isn't a telehealth-only app that mails you medication and disappears.
In person, when it matters most
- Face-to-face care with the same provider throughout your program
- In-clinic biometrics — % body fat, % muscle, visceral fat score, resting metabolism, and BMI at every visit
- Vitals measured in person and reviewed against your progress
- Discounted comprehensive lab work at baseline and periodically throughout
- Hands-on side-effect assessment and intervention
- Integrated access to physical therapy and primary care under one roof
Choosing telemedicine? You still get real care
Some patients do telemedicine for some of their visits, and we’re glad to offer that flexibility. Even when you choose telemedicine with Innovare Tx, you still get:
- Video calls with Charles Ortega, PA-C — not a chat box or a rotating cast of providers
- Discounted labs
- Dosage fine-tuning based on how you're responding
- Continuity — the same provider who knows your history
- Side-effect management
- The option to always come into the clinic for a visit with Charles or for biometrics
