In-Home GLP-1 Weight Loss Doctor in Tampa Bay

Yes. Dr. Melanie Espinet, a board-certified physician based in Lutz, makes GLP-1 weight-loss house calls to homes and offices across Tampa and the rest of Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. She personally evaluates every patient, prescribes when appropriate, and manages every dose adjustment. There is no travel fee. Call or text (813) 726-5808 or book online.

You book a time, and Dr. Espinet comes to your home or office. She reviews your health history, medications, and goals in person and talks through whether semaglutide or tirzepatide fits you. If a GLP-1 is appropriate, she sets your starting dose and gives you in-person injection guidance. Lab work is included in your plan, and she explains the details at your visit.

Semaglutide starts at $150/month, with higher dosing at $240/month. Tirzepatide starts at $230/month, with higher dosing at $320/month. Each monthly price includes in-home physician visits, lab work, the medication and supplies, and dose adjustments and check-ins. There is no travel fee for house calls. Final pricing is confirmed at your consultation.

Dr. Espinet makes house calls across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, including Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, Odessa, Trinity, New Tampa, Carrollwood, Citrus Park, Westchase, Tampa, South Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. There is no travel fee anywhere in the service area, and select in-person appointments are also available at the Lutz office.

Yes. Telehealth-only programs rely on questionnaires, video calls, and messages. In-home care keeps the convenience and adds a board-certified physician who evaluates you in person, includes your lab work, gives in-person injection guidance, and adjusts your dose herself. Many patients also value seeing the same doctor at every visit.

Yes. Book a consultation and have the name and dose of your current medication, how long you have taken it, how you are tolerating it, and any recent lab results ready. Dr. Espinet reviews your history and recommends whether to continue, adjust, or change your plan. In the meantime, keep following your current prescriber’s instructions and do not stop or change your dose on your own.

Yes. Lab work is part of every MeliOra GLP-1 plan and is included in your monthly price, so it is not a separate bill to budget for. Dr. Espinet explains how lab work fits into your plan at your consultation, and your monthly price also covers in-home physician visits, the medication and supplies, and dose adjustments and check-ins.

Yes. In-home GLP-1 visits can take place at your home or at your office anywhere in the service area. A quiet space where you can talk privately makes the visit easiest. Select in-person appointments are also available at the Lutz office if you prefer.

Have a list of your medications and supplements with doses, any weight-loss medicines you have tried before, recent lab results if you have them, and your personal and family medical history. Write down your goals and questions, and choose a quiet room where you can talk privately.

Visit timing is individualized. In-home physician visits, dose adjustments, and check-ins are all included in your monthly price, and Dr. Espinet sets your schedule around your dose changes and how you are responding. You can call or text (813) 726-5808 with questions between visits.

Call or text (813) 726-5808 and let Dr. Espinet know. Nausea, constipation, and reduced appetite are common, especially after a dose increase, and she can adjust your plan. For severe or lasting stomach pain, repeated vomiting, signs of dehydration, or an allergic reaction, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Safety depends on careful screening and monitoring, not on whether your visit happens at home or in an office: Dr. Espinet reviews your health history and medications in person before prescribing, includes lab work in your plan, and adjusts your dose based on how you respond. No medication is right for everyone. GLP-1 medications are generally avoided with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2 and during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and a history of pancreatitis calls for caution.

You can share your preference, and Dr. Espinet weighs it alongside your health history, goals, and budget. Semaglutide starts at $150/month and tirzepatide starts at $230/month, with in-home visits and lab work included in both. Our semaglutide vs. tirzepatide comparison page explains how the two medications differ.

You and Dr. Espinet start planning for it early. Depending on your health and goals, she may suggest staying on your current dose, moving to a lower one, or a slow taper while your habits do more of the work. Hunger often returns when a GLP-1 is stopped, so check with her before making any change.

Yes. In-home visits are by appointment only and take place in your home or office, so there is no waiting room or shared lobby. Your in-home visits, including your evaluation and injection guidance, happen one on one with Dr. Espinet in a space you choose.
