Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?
You want medical guidance
You would rather have a licensed provider involved than follow a plan on your own.
You want a plan based on your health
Your evaluation considers your history, your goals and, where appropriate, lab work.
You want ongoing support
Check-ins with your care team are part of the program rather than an add-on.
You have questions about options
A provider will walk you through what may or may not be appropriate for you.
How It Works
Request a consultation
Tell us how to reach you and we will schedule a time that works for you.
Health evaluation
A licensed provider reviews your health history and your goals to determine whether you qualify.
Your personalized plan
If you qualify, your provider builds a plan around your evaluation. It may include nutrition guidance, activity recommendations and prescription support where appropriate.
Ongoing check-ins
You stay in contact with your care team so your plan can be reviewed and adjusted over time.
What Your Program Includes
Every program is built after your evaluation, so the details differ from person to person. What stays the same is that a licensed provider supervises your care from the first visit onward, and that your plan is reviewed as you go rather than set once and left alone.
Benefits of a Medically Supervised Program
An evaluation first
Your plan follows a review of your health rather than a general template.
Provider oversight
A licensed provider supervises your care and reviews how the plan is going.
Adjustments over time
Your plan can change as your provider reviews your progress with you.
Your questions answered
You have a care team to ask, rather than working it out from what you read online.
Things to Know Before You Start
Eligibility is decided at your evaluation
Not everyone qualifies for every option. Your provider will tell you what is appropriate for you.
Results vary
Individual results depend on your health profile, your plan and how it is followed.
Prescription options are not automatic
They are prescribed only when a provider determines they are appropriate for you.
This is ongoing care
Programs involve regular check-ins rather than a single appointment.

What Our Patients Say
Reviews from patients of our practice.
“I wanted to get some work done but have put it off because when I met with a local Dr. in Gainesville he made me feel horrible and small. I decided to be vulnerable once more and try Cosmetic Surgery Associates. I was paired with Nature and she was down to earth, thorough and flat out incredible. She went through all the options and I pretty much knew what I wanted to do. The moment of truth that sealed the deal for me was when I met with Dr. Caplin….DONE! She was so sweet, compassionate and excited to go on this journey with me. They are an incredible team. I made the right choice! Thank you Cosmetic Surgery Associates for giving me confidence and supporting my journey. ❤️3 ”

“Dr Caplin and her team have been amazing from the beginning. This has been a life changing experience for me. I left today after my 1st week post op appointment in tears of happiness with my decision. Thank you for making me feel beautiful again. Here's to being blessed for my 40th bday🙏”

“Dr. Caplin is fabulous! I can’t say enough good things about her. She is a caring, empathetic and very skilled plastic surgeon. She recently had to stitch my eye lid emergently. The sutures were so tiny you couldn’t see them! Aftercare for my injury was great. I knew exactly what to do so there would be virtually no scarring. I was so impressed with her that I went to her for another plastic surgery need. There was no high pressure or judgement about what I wanted done. She had only courteous and professional demeanor with great knowledge and experience with my needs. Her office staff, too, is amazing.”

“I have wanted a reduction with a lift for years. I have always felt like my boobs made me look so much heavier than I was. I had several consultations over the course of a few years and when I met Dr. Caplin I knew she was the one the only one I would trust to do my procedures. She is very professional and honestly makes you feel like one of her girl friends that’s gonna fix your girls. I felt so comfortable and confident with her I would not go anywhere else for anything. From River City Surgery Center’s staff to Wheezie (my CRNA) to GiGi (Dr. Caplins PA) to Dr. Caplim and her staff this is an A+ team that you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you all for making me feel beautiful 🩷🩷🩷🩷”

“I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Caplin and her entire team. The level of professionalism and genuine care she brings to her work is exceptional. Her attention to detail is incredible, and the outcome looks natural and beautifully done. The follow‑up care was just as impressive-her staff is warm, responsive, and truly invested in their patients’ recovery. If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon who combines skill, artistry, and compassion, Dr. Caplin is the one. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.”

“My wife recently had a 360 body lift with Dr. Courtney, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Dr. Courtney and her entire staff treated my wife like family. My wife struggled with feeling uncomfortable in her own skin for a long time, and this team helped give her a level of confidence she hasn’t felt in years. What stood out the most was how caring and personal the experience was. Even late at night after surgery, Dr. Courtney would personally answer phone calls and texts whenever we were worried something looked off during recovery. She always brought a calming presence and reassured us while still being honest and upfront about the recovery process and any hardships my wife might face. The staff that helped care for my wife after surgery were incredibly kind and supportive. Every single one of them made her feel comfortable, encouraged her throughout recovery, and constantly lifted her spirits with compliments and positivity as she healed. This was more than just a surgery to us — it was a life-changing experience. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Courtney and her amazing team, and we highly recommend them to anyone considering this journey. THE BEST!!!!!!!! ”
