Background and History

• Ameri-Cal Weight Clinic was started in 2000 by Dr. Ronald T. Weiland.

Services and Programs

Ameri-Cal Weight Clinic has a weight loss program that covers everything you need.

The program is made up of things, including:

• Low-calorie meal plans
• FDA-approved appetite suppressants such as Phentermine
• GLP-1 medications including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

Ameri-Cal Weight Clinic says that they only prescribe GLP-1 medications after a thorough medical evaluation. These GLP-1 medications help with things like regulating blood sugar and appetite, reducing hunger and making you feel full which is good for weight loss.
