About Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy
Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to medically supported weight loss services in a warm and welcoming setting. The practice offers a team approach with highly skilled practitioners providing Best-of-the-Bay patient experience in Brandon, Palm Harbor, Tampa, and South Tampa, Florida.
Weight loss is more than just numbers; each individual has unique strengths, challenges, needs, and goals. Truly customized weight loss takes all of those factors into consideration, in addition to each person’s physiological makeup, before creating a personalized treatment plan. Lab testing reveals biomarkers that guide treatment planning.
The team at Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy doesn’t just focus on shedding excess pounds; practitioners strive to enhance overall health and wellness. Goal setting is central to the process, teaching patients how to create and achieve healthy milestones.
Supplements and nutraceuticals, semaglutide therapy, IV therapy, and convenient food options all help support weight loss. Hormone replacement therapy helps restore optimal hormonal balance for both men and women.
Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy also offers advanced medical aesthetics treatments to help you feel confident about your appearance. Body contouring is a great way to refine your weight loss results, and treatments like Botox®, dermal fillers, and thread lifts help create a more youthful, well-rested appearance.
Residents of the greater Tampa Bay area who want to explore these and other treatment options can book a visit at Garcia Weight Loss Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy online or by phone.
The Garcia Difference
The Garcia Centers have been helping patients reach their weightloss and wellness goals in Tampa Bay since 2000. For over 20 years we’ve provided medically directed weight loss programs that prioritize patient safety and adhere to the principles of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians. Dr. Garcia's commitment to addressing the root causes of patient symptomology led him to become one of the first in Tampa Bay to offer bioidentical hormone pellet therapy in 2002. In 2004 the Garcia Centers added Aesthetics to ensure patients look as good as they feel. We now offer over twenty medical provider-guided Aesthetic and Aesthetician treatments, including Botox, Dermal Filler, Morpheus8 RF Contouring and Laser Hair Removal.
To better represent our offerings, we have rebranded Garcia Weightloss, Aesthetics & Hormone Therapy. We are proud to have assisted over 50,000 patients with symptom relief and disease prevention along their healthy aging journey. The Garcia Difference, and our Mission, is “Patient First, Always” and we are driven to continue helping patients for the next 25 years!
