Searching for semaglutide near me in Miami Gardens? At PassQual Health, our physician-supervised medical weight loss program uses modern GLP-1 medications — including semaglutide and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) — paired with nutrition guidance and ongoing care. If you’re looking for semaglutide near me or medical weight loss near me, our licensed physician builds a plan personalized to you. 
What is medically supervised weight loss?
It’s a weight management program led by a physician rather than a one-size-fits-all diet. Your care is guided by a medical professional who reviews your health history, sets safe and realistic goals, and adjusts your plan over time. This approach is designed to support gradual, sustainable progress.
Who supervises the program?
Our weight loss program is supervised by Dr. Arlenis Barroso Perez, MD, a licensed physician. Having a certified MD oversee your care means your treatment is monitored for safety and tailored to your individual needs.
What does the program include?
Each plan is personalized, and depending on what’s appropriate for you it may include:
- GLP-1 medications, primarily Mounjaro, administered as injections (shots)
- Supportive vitamins
- A personalized weight management plan
- Nutrition counseling
- Regular follow-up visits to track your progress
How much does semaglutide cost in Miami Gardens?
Our physician-supervised semaglutide program is $300 per month, and that price includes both your weight loss consultation and your semaglutide medication — not medication alone. Tirzepatide and other options are quoted at your consultation, since the right medication depends on your health history.
Consultation questions are free, so you can understand your options, the total cost, and whether treatment is appropriate for you before committing to anything. If baseline labs are needed, we tell you the cost up front.

Is this program right for me?
Medical weight loss can be a good fit for adults who want physician-guided support rather than going it alone. During your visit, Dr. Barroso Perez will review your health and discuss whether GLP-1 treatment and the rest of the program are appropriate for you.
Semaglutide or tirzepatide — which is right for you?
Semaglutide activates one hormone receptor; tirzepatide activates two. Both are once-weekly, prescription-only injections, and the better choice depends on your health history, tolerance, and budget rather than on which one is trending. We compare them side by side in semaglutide vs tirzepatide: which GLP-1 is right for you?
Looking for GLP-1 weight loss clinics near you?
If you are comparing GLP-1 weight loss clinics near me across Miami Gardens, Hialeah, Miami Lakes, and greater Miami, the differences that matter are simple: is there a real physician evaluation before any prescription, are baseline labs part of the plan, is the medication FDA-approved with transparent sourcing, and are follow-up visits actually scheduled?
PassQual Health is a physician-owned clinic with an on-site medical laboratory, not a med-spa or a franchise, and every visit can be handled in English or Spanish. Our guide to what to look for in a GLP-1 weight loss clinic lists the questions worth asking anywhere you go — including here.
What to expect at your first visit
- A review of your health history and current medications
- A discussion of your goals and any questions you have (free)

Tirzepatide, Naltrexone & Retatrutide: What Miami Gardens Patients Are Asking
GLP-1 medicine is moving fast, and patients often come in with a specific drug name in mind. Here’s where each option actually stands, medically and legally, so you can make an informed decision with Dr. Barroso Perez.
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) for weight loss in Miami Gardens & Miami Beach
Tirzepatide is FDA-approved for chronic weight management (as Zepbound) and remains the primary GLP-1 medication used in our program, administered as Mounjaro. It’s a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, which is part of why many patients see more pronounced results than with semaglutide alone. If you’ve been searching for tirzepatide weight loss near me in Miami Gardens or Miami Beach, this is available now through a physician-supervised consultation — dosing, candidacy, and whether tirzepatide or semaglutide is the better fit for you are determined by Dr. Barroso Perez based on your health history.
Naltrexone for weight loss
Naltrexone is FDA-approved to treat alcohol and opioid use disorder. Used on its own for weight management, it is considered an off-label use — the only naltrexone-containing product FDA-approved specifically for weight loss is the fixed-dose combination naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave). Whether naltrexone has a role in your plan — on its own, off-label, or as part of a broader strategy — is a decision Dr. Barroso Perez makes with you after reviewing your health history, current medications, and goals. We believe patients deserve that distinction spelled out plainly rather than folded into vague “weight loss injections” marketing.
Retatrutide: is it available in Miami?
Not yet, and we want to be straightforward about that. Retatrutide is still investigational — it’s in Phase 3 clinical trials and has not received FDA approval. That means it cannot legally be prescribed, compounded, or sold in the United States right now, regardless of what any clinic or online vendor claims. Early trial data is genuinely promising (Eli Lilly’s TRIUMPH program has reported weight-loss results exceeding what’s typically seen with current GLP-1s), and we’re tracking its progress toward an expected FDA filing. Until it’s approved, tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is the most advanced GLP-1 option we can safely and legally offer. Ask us at your consultation and we’ll give you the current, honest status — not a sales pitch for something we can’t legally provide.

Who is a candidate for medically supervised weight loss?
Eligibility guidance for GLP-1 weight-loss medications comes from the FDA prescribing labels published for FDA-approved options in this class, which generally identify candidates as adults with a body weight producing a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher when combined with a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. These are general prescribing-label criteria for how medications in this class are typically used, not a fixed PassQual policy. During your consultation, we review your body weight, health history, and goals together to help you understand whether a medically supervised program is a reasonable way to lose weight in your situation.
What side effects should I know about?
Like any prescription medication, GLP-1 medications used for weight management have documented side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal in nature — such as nausea — particularly when starting treatment or adjusting a dose. Side effects vary from person to person and can change with long-term use. This is discussed openly during your consultation, where Dr. Barroso Perez reviews your health history to help determine whether the program is an appropriate fit for you.
