Physician-Supervised GLP-1 Therapy
Concierge, physician-supervised semaglutide for sustainable weight loss from $140/month — in line with online programs, with a real physician at your home or office across Tampa Bay.

How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it mimics a natural hormone your body produces after eating. GLP-1 signals fullness to the brain, slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, and helps regulate blood sugar by supporting insulin release. Administered as a once-weekly injection, it amplifies these natural processes.
Many patients describe the most noticeable early change as a significant quieting of persistent hunger and cravings. At MeliOra, semaglutide is always physician-supervised, with lab work and individualized dosing rather than a one-size protocol.
Compare with TirzepatideIs It Right for You?
Semaglutide has been in clinical use since 2017, giving it a longer safety record than newer alternatives.
A strong fit for patients who want steady, sustained progress rather than the maximum possible reduction.
Begin with a GLP-1 approach and evaluate your response before considering anything more aggressive.
If GLP-1 therapy has worked for you in the past, semaglutide is a natural continuation under physician oversight.
Concierge Care
MeliOra is a mobile concierge practice. Your first appointment includes a full health evaluation, and Dr. Espinet reviews your history, orders lab work, and sets a starting dose and timeline tailored to your body. Follow-up and dose adjustments are built into every plan, so you are never managing the medication on your own.
*Starting rates. Final pricing is determined during your consultation based on individual treatment plans.
MeliOra vs. Online GLP-1 Programs
Online semaglutide programs made GLP-1 therapy familiar. MeliOra matches their pricing — and replaces the questionnaire with a physician who actually examines you, at your home or office.
