Medical Weight Loss Clinics: Comparison Points
Before you pick a medical weight loss clinic in St. Augustine, find out who you would call when a plan stops sitting right with you. This page shows ninth through thirteenth in our ranking of 13 providers, the stretch below the leaders, and sets each one's public rating beside a question for its staff. NIDDK's page on prescription medications to treat overweight and obesity is worth reading before any consult that includes a medication.
How these five were placed
The order is Google rating, highest first, read from each business's Google Maps profile. The full order of 13 providers starts above this stretch with New Beauty Company at a 5 rating across 332 reviews, and these five are the bottom of it. Providers that share a rating keep the order the ranking gives them. A rating shows how reviewers scored a business, so the follow-up questions below are yours to put to the clinic.
Ninth through thirteenth
- Elase Medical Spa - St. Augustine
- Spa Life Skin & Laser
- Bayside Medical Practice and Med Spa
- Saint Augustine Skin Spa

Notes on each clinic
Elase Medical Spa - St. Augustine holds a 4.9 rating across 180 reviews and is filed as a medical spa. Its website is elase.com, a good first stop for finding who handles patient questions.
Spa Life Skin & Laser shows a 4.9 rating across 64 reviews, also as a medical spa. The name leads with skin and laser, so confirm that medical weight loss is part of what it offers.
Bayside Medical Practice and Med Spa has a 4.9 rating across 56 reviews. It is the only one in this stretch filed as a medical clinic, which makes it the natural place to ask who on staff answers medication questions.
Saint Augustine Skin Spa carries a 4.9 rating across 32 reviews, the smallest review count anywhere in the ranking. Its website runs through glossgenius.com, so ask how a patient with a question outside booking reaches the team.
Circles of Wellness sits last with a 4.7 rating across 337 reviews. That is the lowest rating in the ranking and the largest review count, so its score rests on more voices than any other clinic here.
What to ask on the first call
Ask what a patient should do if a medication seems to disagree with them, who reviews that report, and how fast the clinic replies. Add a question about whether the plan changes after a bad week. The CDC's About Healthy Weight and Growth page is background for the goals conversation, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has a patient safety page plus an article on how nonsurgical treatments can enhance your natural beauty at any age.
Choosing among these five
Four of these clinics sit at the same rating, so the score alone will not separate them. Fit comes down to category and reach: Bayside is the clinic-style listing, Circles of Wellness has the deepest review pool, and Saint Augustine Skin Spa has the thinnest. Phone your top two, ask the same questions, and go with the team that gives you a clear answer about what happens after a bad week.
