Statewide telehealth from Ocala
Telehealth Anywhere in Florida
Padgett Medical Center sees patients by telehealth anywhere in Florida, as long as you're in the state during the visit. Medical weight loss, phentermine with a Florida ID, testosterone and hormone therapy, erectile dysfunction (ED) care and hair loss treatment all work this way, at the same prices as our Ocala clinic.
Your visits are with Sarah Weir, APRN, an advanced practice registered nurse. Start personalized compounded semaglutide or personalized compounded tirzepatide, and your medication ships to your door.
Nothing is charged when you book.

What do you need for a telehealth visit?
Three things: be physically in Florida for the whole visit, even if you live here; have a phone, tablet or computer that can join a video call; and find a quiet, private place to talk.
- Save (352) 706-8733. Intake forms and appointment texts come from it, including the link to join a weight loss or phentermine video visit.
- For phentermine, the blood pressure picture can come from a home monitor or a pharmacy machine.
- Live in Ocala? You can choose telehealth too, or come to our clinic at 200 SW 8th St A, Ocala, FL 34471.
How does your medication get to you?
Personalized compounded semaglutide and personalized compounded tirzepatide ship to your door anywhere in Florida, with clear instructions for your exact medication. Your provider adjusts your dose with you over time, so report side effects and never change it on your own.
Does telehealth cost the same as an in-person visit?
Yes. Every price is the same by telehealth or in person.
- Personalized compounded semaglutide
- From $149 a month at the starting dose.
- Personalized compounded tirzepatide
- From $229 a month at the starting dose.
- Weight loss visit
- 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.
- Phentermine
- First month, for new patients: $196, or $127.40 when you book online with a card on file (35% off). It includes your visit, your first month of phentermine and a B12 injection. Monthly refills are $166 and include the same three.
- Adult ADHD
- Follow-ups are $136, the same for everyone. The first visit, for new patients, is in person: $260, or $169 when you book online with a card on file (35% off).
- TRT, hormones, ED and hair loss
- Your cost depends on your labs and your plan.
Nothing is charged when you book, and there are no contracts. Without a card on file, the appointment isn't confirmed until our staff reach you by phone. The no-show fee applies if you don't show, or don't cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead, and it can be applied to your next visit.
Higher doses are priced on the personalized compounded semaglutide and personalized compounded tirzepatide pages.
Will you see a doctor on a telehealth visit?
You'll see an advanced practice registered nurse rather than a physician: Sarah Weir, APRN, who also sees patients at the clinic. Dr. Jose Diaz, MD, is Medical Director. She reviews your health history and medications, and nothing is prescribed unless it's right for you.
What does Florida law say about telehealth?
Florida's telehealth law is section 456.47 of the Florida Statutes. It lets licensed providers evaluate and treat patients by telehealth, held to the same professional standard as in-person care in Florida. For the law's purposes, care counts as given where the patient is at the time of the visit, or in the patient's home county. The law bars prescribing Schedule II controlled substances by telehealth, except to treat a psychiatric disorder, a hospital inpatient, a hospice patient or a nursing home resident. Phentermine is Schedule IV under section 893.03, so that limit doesn't apply to it.
Padgett's telehealth visits are only for patients physically in Florida. Federal rules apply too: a prescriber normally must see you in person at least once before prescribing a controlled substance by telemedicine, but a temporary DEA and HHS exception waives that, under set conditions, through December 31, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get phentermine prescribed online in Florida?
Yes, by telehealth, after a visit with Sarah Weir, APRN, if she decides it's safe for you. You need to be in Florida during the visit, have a valid Florida driver's license or state ID, and send a picture of a recent blood pressure reading first. Without a Florida ID, the visit is in person in Ocala.
Do I have to come to Ocala?
For most programs, no. Medical weight loss, phentermine with a Florida ID, TRT and hormone therapy, ED care and hair loss treatment all work by telehealth anywhere in Florida. Adult ADHD starts with one in-person visit in Ocala.
Can I do my whole weight loss program by telehealth?
Yes. With personalized compounded semaglutide or personalized compounded tirzepatide, your first visit, dose adjustments and follow-ups can all be by video, and your medication ships to your door. You just need to be in Florida for each visit, and you pay the same as you would in person.
Is online weight loss treatment legal in Florida?
Yes. Section 456.47 of the Florida Statutes lets licensed providers evaluate and treat patients by telehealth, held to the same standard as in-person care. At Padgett, your telehealth visit is a real medical visit with Sarah Weir, APRN, and no prescription is promised in advance.
Can I get ADHD treatment by telehealth in Florida?
Yes, for follow-ups. Your first visit, a 30-minute evaluation, is always in person at our Ocala clinic. After that, follow-ups are $136 and can be by telehealth while you're in Florida. No diagnosis or medication is promised in advance, and any medication is filled at your own pharmacy.
What if I'm out of state on the day of my visit?
Move your visit to a day you're back in Florida, because you must be physically in the state during every telehealth visit, even if you live here. Call (352) 369-0104 to reschedule. Doing it at least 24 hours ahead avoids the no-show fee.
