For the Orlando metro

One doctor, the whole metro, and no drive unless you want one.

Dr. George W. Carroll practices from an office just north of the city in Maitland, and sees most patients by telemedicine — which is how a single physician looks after people from Winter Park to Lake Nona without anyone spending an afternoon on I-4. The first visit is free.

Seeing Dr. Carroll from anywhere in the metro

Weight-loss treatment means being seen about once a month, for as long as you're in treatment. Across a metro this size, making those visits easy matters.

Start with telemedicine. It's a live appointment with Dr. Carroll, the same physician for the same length of time, and it's what most patients here choose, including for a first visit. You need to be in Florida at the time of the visit, and that's the only condition.

That matters most if you're out in Lake Nona, Windermere, Lake Mary or anywhere else that turns a fifteen-minute appointment into a two-hour errand. Telemedicine fits a monthly visit into a busy day.

When you'd rather be seen in person, the office is in Maitland, north of the city on the 17-92 corridor, a few minutes from I-4 — and Dr. Carroll likes meeting new patients that way when it suits them. Telemedicine is how one office and one doctor care for patients across the metro.

What you're choosing between

Medication for weight management is widely sold in this metro. What differs between providers is who decides your dose, how fast they move it, and whether anyone is still paying attention three months in.

Your own physician

Dr. Carroll reviews your history and manages your treatment himself.

Common questions from around Orlando

Do I have to drive from Orlando to Maitland for visits?

No. Most patients here are seen by telemedicine, including for a first visit — a live appointment with Dr. Carroll. You need to be in Florida at the time of the visit. The office is there if you'd rather be seen in person.

Where is the office if I want to be seen in person?

235 Maitland Ave S, Suite 206, in Maitland — north of the city on the 17-92 corridor, a few minutes from I-4. Parking is at the building.

Is Windermere too far from the Maitland office?

Not with telemedicine. Windermere is across the city from the office, so telemedicine is the easy option, and the Maitland office is there when you'd like to come in.

Is Lake Nona too far from the Maitland office?

No, because you don't have to make the drive. Lake Nona is at the far southeastern edge of Orlando and the office is north of downtown, so most people there are seen by telemedicine, first visit included. Coming in is always an option.

Is BeSlimMD a weight-loss clinic chain?

No. BeSlimMD is a single practice: one physician, one office in Maitland and one front desk.

How much does the first visit cost?

Nothing. The first visit is free, by telemedicine or in the office.

Seeing patients from Winter Park

Two more parts of the metro are looked after from here, and what's true about the practice across Orlando is true in each of them.

Windermere

A separate town on the western side of the metro, far enough out that crossing the city once a month would end up being the main cost of treatment. It doesn't have to be. Patients from Windermere are seen by telemedicine — a full appointment with Dr. Carroll — and the Maitland office is there for the visits you'd rather make in person.

Lake Nona

Part of the City of Orlando, at the southeastern edge of it and the opposite corner of the metro from the office. Telemedicine is how most people there are treated, first visit included, and it's the same appointment either way. When you do want to come in, the office is north of downtown on the 17-92 corridor, off I-4.

Wherever you are in the metro

Your first visit is free, and it's with Dr. Carroll himself. You'll leave knowing whether treatment makes sense for you.
