ABOUT - MK Medical Wellness

Meet Our Team!

Welcome to MK Medical Wellness!

Welcome! I’m Mary Kate, a Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience specializing in primary care, psychiatric care, and geriatric care. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about making healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone.

Wellness and weight loss products have often been priced out of reach for many. But at MK Medical Wellness, we are committed to changing that by offering wellness and prescription weight loss products at a fraction of the traditional cost. I have personally used these products and successfully lost over 75 pounds with prescription medication. After thorough research, my team and I have created a portfolio of high-quality medications designed to support you on your wellness and weight loss journey, with a personalized approach. With real-life experience using these medications, I am confident in helping you achieve your weight loss goals.

At MK Medical Wellness, our mission is to provide you with the tools needed to create healthy and sustainable habits. We focus on treating the whole picture of your health, not just the number on the scale. In addition to prescribing Semaglutide for weight loss, we also offer a supplementation protocol that supports your body individually throughout the process.

*While these supplements are optional, we highly recommend them. We believe that exercise plays an essential role in a successful weight loss journey. We’ll work closely with you to develop a personalized plan, combining Semaglutide with a tailored exercise regimen to help you reach your goals.

We understand that prescription weight loss can be a financial commitment, so we’re proud to offer most prescription medications for under $250 per month. In comparison, brand-name prescriptions like Wegovy or Ozempic typically cost $1,000 to $1,600 per month. Please note that MK Medical Wellness operates on an “out-of-pocket” basis, and we do not bill insurance. However, you may submit your receipt to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.
