Your first appointment with Dr. Kourosh Lalavi begins the medical assessment. You discuss your health history, current medications, previous weight management efforts, symptoms and goals. The purpose is to understand your starting point and identify what needs to be considered before selecting a care plan.
The appointment includes an InBody body-composition analysis and FreeStyle Libre 3 setup. A bloodwork requisition is provided when clinically appropriate. These findings support the next stage of your assessment; the first appointment is not the entire course of care.
Choose this appointment if you are starting Bina’s medical weight management service and can attend the Brossard clinic. It is the in-person starting point for patients who want a medical assessment with the on-site measurements and device setup included in this option.
If you prefer to begin by video, choose the initial virtual consultation. Its inclusions differ from the in-clinic appointment.
Your care begins with at least two visits:
The $395 fee covers the initial in-clinic appointment only. The medication-assessment appointment is listed separately at $345, and ongoing medical follow-ups are $245 per appointment. Laboratory fees and ongoing medication costs are separate. Have your current medication list, relevant previous results and questions available for the consultation. Booking an assessment does not guarantee a prescription or a particular medication.
The initial virtual consultation lets you begin Bina’s medical weight management service by video across Québec. The physician reviews your medical history, medications, previous approaches to weight management, current concerns and goals.
The appointment can include a bloodwork requisition when clinically appropriate and planning for a second visit to review the findings. If measurements, device setup or a physical examination are needed, an in-person appointment will be recommended or arranged.
Choose this appointment if you live in Québec and want to start with a medical consultation online. It is suitable as a first discussion of your health, goals and care options when a virtual assessment is appropriate.
If you want the InBody analysis and FreeStyle Libre 3 setup included in the initial in-clinic option, choose the Brossard appointment instead.
Keep your medication list and any relevant results available during the video visit. An online consultation does not guarantee a prescription, and some parts of your care may require an in-person appointment.
This consultation focuses on whether prescription treatment is appropriate for you. In the pathway described for Bina’s weight management service, the second visit includes reviewing blood results and considering whether medication can be started.
The physician considers your health history, current medications, relevant findings and treatment goals. The discussion may cover treatment options, expected use, side effects, precautions and monitoring. Any prescription is based on your individual medical assessment.
Choose this appointment when you have been directed to return for medication assessment after your initial evaluation, or when the clinic has identified a need for a focused review of prescription weight management treatment.
If you have not yet had your initial assessment, contact the clinic before choosing this appointment so you can book the appropriate starting visit.
Bring or have available your medication list, requested results and questions about treatment. If you are unsure whether to book this assessment or a routine follow-up, call 514-307-0111.
Follow-up appointments review what has changed since your previous consultation. Dr. Kourosh Lalavi considers your progress, symptoms, medication response, side effects, relevant results and any difficulties following the plan.
The visit may include InBody analysis when you attend in person and review of glucose information when available. The physician uses these findings to decide whether to continue the plan, adjust it or recommend further assessment.
Choose this appointment when you are continuing care after the initial assessment and treatment-planning stage, or when the physician has asked to reassess your progress.
If you are returning specifically for the medication-assessment appointment, use that appointment type or contact the clinic for guidance before booking.
Be ready to discuss how you have been feeling, any medication effects or concerns, and what has been practical or difficult since your last visit.
Attend the clinic for a resting ECG. The recording is sent to the physician who ordered the test.
In-person test: An ECG requires electrodes to be placed on your body. It cannot be performed by video.
