For Fort McCoy patients

From $149/month

  • Your dose sets your monthly price.
  • The $100 visit is free if you start medication.
  • Nothing is charged when you book.

Your provider: Sarah Weir, APRN.

$149 a month is what personalized compounded semaglutide weight loss costs at the starting dose, and the amount changes only when you and your provider change the dose; that page has the figure for each one. The monthly price is your medication. Your provider visit is $100 and is free when you start medication at that visit; the only other charge is a $50 no-show fee. There's no contract, and personalized compounded semaglutide without insurance explains paying on your own.

What does the CDC report about obesity near Fort McCoy?

The CDC's closest estimate covers all of Marion County: in 2023, 36.4% of adults there had obesity, meaning a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, above the 34.5% average of Florida's county estimates. There is no Fort McCoy figure because the Census Bureau maps no town boundary around it; its center sits in the Fort McCoy-Anthony county subdivision. The CDC notes that self-reported height and weight give lower BMI estimates than measurements do, so step on a scale and measure your height before using our BMI calculator.

Why does exercise matter alongside the injection?

Because NIDDK says weight-management medicines are most effective combined with a lifestyle program, and activity is the piece many adults here skip. The CDC estimates that in 2023, 26.6% of Marion County adults had done no physical activity or exercise in the past month apart from their regular job, slightly under the 27.9% Florida county average. The survey question behind that estimate counts gardening and walking for exercise, not a demanding job. The CDC's adult target is at least 150 minutes a week of moderate activity such as brisk walking, for example 30 minutes on 5 days, plus 2 days of muscle-strengthening.

Is there a trail on the way home from the clinic?

Yes. About a mile after you turn from SR 40 onto CR 315, the St. Johns River Water Management District's Silver Springs Forest Conservation Area has an entrance at 4110 NE Highway 315. The District lists hiking, bicycling and horseback riding there, and its trail map marks a 4.2-mile white-blazed loop, a 5.6-mile red-blazed loop and a hunt-season caution, since the land is also a wildlife management area. Florida black bears, white-tailed deer and wild turkeys are commonly seen there, and the District says never to approach or feed any wild animal.

Is there a spring with a hiking trail in Fort McCoy's ZIP Code?

Yes: Salt Springs Recreation Area in the Ocala National Forest, about 16 miles east of Fort McCoy, almost entirely on CR 316, sits in the same 32134 ZIP Code area on Census maps. The Forest Service says the spring gushes 52 million gallons a day at a constant 74 degrees. Its 1.9-mile Salt Springs Trail loop has some sharp climbs, a long boardwalk that is slippery when wet and a bird-watching deck, and one stretch can flood ankle-deep or more when the spring run is high. Pets aren't allowed in the day-use area, and on weekends sites can fill and close at capacity.

When does telehealth beat the 35-minute drive?

When about 70 minutes of round-trip driving, without traffic, won't fit your day: in-person visits happen within clinic hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Telehealth swaps the drive for a visit from home, as long as you are physically in Florida at the time. If your children attend Fort McCoy School, the PK-8 campus on CR 315 that enrolled 931 students in 2024-25, a telehealth visit can fit between drop-off and pickup. Our telehealth hub covers the statewide details.

What information shapes the provider's decision?

Your health history, your weight-loss goals and everything you take, so bring a written list: MedlinePlus tells people using FDA-approved semaglutide injection to share every medicine, vitamin, supplement and herbal product. Under NIDDK guidance, prescription weight-management medicine can be considered at a BMI of 30 and up, or at 27 and up for adults who also have a weight-related condition like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. After that review, Sarah Weir, APRN, decides if personalized compounded semaglutide is a good match and, if so, the starting dose. If you or a relative has had a thyroid tumor, thyroid cancer or MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, which causes tumors in several glands), tell her, because MedlinePlus says you would then probably be advised against FDA-approved semaglutide injection.

What's your job once the medication arrives?

One shot on the same day each week, and watching for side effects. Your personalized compounded semaglutide comes to your Fort McCoy address with clear instructions for your exact medication, and only your provider changes the dose. MedlinePlus names the upper arm, thigh and stomach area as sites for FDA-approved semaglutide injection, with a new site for each shot and any time of day allowed. The same page lists nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain and constipation as side effects to report if they are severe or don't go away. It puts ongoing pain that begins in the upper left or middle of the stomach, sometimes spreading to the back, among symptoms that call for immediate medical help or emergency treatment. See tips for handling GLP-1 side effects.

Which other Padgett programs could fit instead?

Two could. Another weekly injection, personalized compounded tirzepatide, costs $229 a month at the starting dose, and a side-by-side comparison is at personalized compounded semaglutide vs. personalized compounded tirzepatide. If you'd rather not inject anything, ask about phentermine weight loss in Ocala. That program uses phentermine, an FDA-approved generic pill that curbs appetite. Its label calls for short-term use, a few weeks, as one part of a plan built on eating fewer calories, exercising and changing habits, and it is a Schedule IV controlled substance.

How do Fort McCoy's neighbors compare on the drive?

Silver Springs and Citra both sit closer to the clinic. Silver Springs, on the SR 40 stretch of your drive, is about 6 miles and roughly 12 minutes from it: read personalized compounded semaglutide in Silver Springs. Citra, about 13 miles west of Fort McCoy and reached mostly on CR 316, is about 17 miles and roughly 24 minutes from the clinic: see personalized compounded semaglutide in Citra.

What's the first step when you're ready to start?

Use online booking for personalized compounded semaglutide; nothing is charged when you book. A card on file reserves your time. No card? You can still book, but the visit isn't locked in until a staff member gets you on the phone. Your intake forms and appointment texts arrive from (352) 706-8733, not the clinic's main line. Want to talk first? Padgett offers a free 15-minute phone call with the medical staff; it is not a visit with the provider and nothing is prescribed on it.

Getting to us from Fort McCoy

Our clinic is at 200 SW 8th St A, Ocala, FL 34471.

For an in-person visit, take CR 315 south out of Fort McCoy for close to 11 miles until it meets SR 40, and turn right. SR 40, named Fort Brooks Road at first and then East Silver Springs Boulevard, carries you about 8 miles west through Silver Springs into Ocala, where you turn left on Watula Avenue (it becomes SE 3rd Avenue) and right on SE 8th Street; the clinic is on your left once the street turns into SW 8th Street.

Open Mon-Fri 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

Personalized compounded semaglutide questions from Fort McCoy

My internet out here is unreliable. Should I still choose telehealth?

Not necessarily: you can make the first visit in person at the Ocala clinic and use telehealth only for later check-ins. Those work from any private spot with a steadier connection, such as a quiet room at work or a family member's house, as long as you are physically in Florida during the visit.

Can I move my injection day around a camping or hunting weekend?

Ask your provider first, because the answer depends on your exact medication. With FDA-approved semaglutide, MedlinePlus says you may switch to a new weekly day if at least 2 days have gone by since your previous dose, and you should never double a dose to catch up on a missed one. Pick a day that rarely collides with forest trips.

Who will I see, and what is Dr. Diaz's role?

You'll see Sarah Weir, APRN, an advanced practice registered nurse, at the Ocala clinic or by telehealth from Fort McCoy. If personalized compounded semaglutide is right for you, she sets the starting dose and adjusts it with you over time. Dr. Jose Diaz, MD, is Padgett's Medical Director.
