Doctor-led weightmanagement,in Etobicoke.

Medical consultations with Dr. Gardizi are covered by OHIP with a physician referral. Ask your family doctor to send one (our one-page referral form makes it easy). If you don’t have a family doctor, contact us and we can connect you with a nurse practitioner who can provide the referral.

Your medical care with Dr. Gardizi is covered by OHIP: consultations, follow-ups, prescriptions, and lab requisitions. The allied health programs (dietitian-led nutrition therapy, counselling, and the resistance training program) are private pay. Many extended health plans reimburse dietitian and social worker sessions, so check your plan for Dietitian and Social Worker coverage; we provide a receipt after every session. The resistance training program is usually not covered, because most plans only reimburse a regulated profession such as kinesiology.

No. Your initial virtual consultation is free, and no payment is taken online. We want to make sure the program is a good fit for you first. Your provider goes over the program and any costs with you during that free first call, and payment only starts if you decide to go ahead.

The dietitian-led Medical Nutritional Therapy Full Program is $599 for 12 weeks (a one-hour assessment and five 30-minute follow-ups), or three monthly payments of $200. Shorter options are Core (assessment and two follow-ups) for $399 and the assessment alone for $199. Counselling with our Registered Social Worker is $699 for the 3-month program. The resistance training program is $499 (plus HST) for six sessions, or $100 (plus HST) per single session. Dietitian and social worker sessions are often claimable under extended health plans (look for Registered Dietitian and Social Worker coverage); personal training usually is not. We provide a receipt after every session so you can submit a claim. Your medical care with Dr. Gardizi remains covered by OHIP.

Both. We see patients in person at One Eva Medical, 1 Eva Road, Suite 100, Etobicoke, and program sessions (nutrition, counselling and movement) can be done virtually from anywhere in Ontario.

It depends on where you start. If you book online with our dietitian or our social worker, your first call is a free virtual consultation where they learn about your goals and go over the program and its cost. If you are referred to Dr. Gardizi, your first medical visit is covered by OHIP: she reviews your health history, current medications, and weight history, then builds an individualized, judgment-free plan based on the Canadian Obesity Guidelines. That plan may include medical management, nutrition therapy, counselling, and movement.

Where appropriate, yes. Pharmacotherapy is one evidence-based tool within the Canadian Obesity Guidelines. Dr. Gardizi, a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, prescribes and monitors medication as part of a complete plan, never as a quick fix.

Nymble Health is a judgment-free, text-based weight-management companion included free for Trifecta patients. It supports you between visits, whether that’s cravings, plateaus, or questions about side effects, grounded in the same obesity-medicine guidelines that shape your care.
