Doctor care, when you need it.
Not everyone needs a full programme. Whether you're exploring your options, managing your own treatment, or just need a once-off check-in, you can book directly with one of our physicians — no commitment required.
Book exactly what you need
All prices are fixed — no hidden fees. You pay for the consultation at the time of booking.
New Patient Assessment
Once-off · virtual or in-person
Your first consultation with a Rho physician. We take a thorough history, discuss your weight and health goals, review any relevant bloodwork, and build a clinical picture before recommending a treatment path. If GLP-1 therapy is appropriate, we prescribe on the same day.
What's included
Monthly Check-in
For patients managing their own GLP-1 therapy who need regular clinical oversight without committing to a full programme. We review your progress, adjust your dose, and renew your prescription.
Includes
Quarterly Check-in
A more comprehensive in-person review every three months. Includes a full InBody body composition scan so we can track muscle retention, fat loss, and visceral fat — not just the scale.
Includes
Transfer of Care
Already on GLP-1 therapy through another provider? This consultation covers a thorough review of your current protocol, medication history, and results — so we can take over your care and optimise from where you are.
Includes
Side Effects Check-in
Experiencing nausea, fatigue, or other side effects on your medication? This focused consultation is specifically for assessing and managing side effects — so you don't have to wait until your next regular appointment.
Includes
InBody Scan
Medical-grade body composition analysis using the InBody 570. Goes beyond BMI to measure muscle mass, fat mass, visceral fat level, and total body water — giving a precise picture of your metabolic health.
Includes
Better Value for Ongoing Care
Seeing us regularly? A programme is better value.
If you're planning to be on GLP-1 therapy for three months or more, our Foundation and Elevate programmes offer significantly more — continuous support, dietitian access, and proactive check-ins — at a better overall price than booking consultations individually.

No referral needed. You can book directly through this page. We see new patients from across South Africa — in-person at our Sandton consulting rooms, or virtually via video call.
Payment is taken at the time of booking via the Bookem platform. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Medical aid patients should note that these are private consultations and not submitted to medical aid — all pricing reflects the actual cost of care.
Any recent bloodwork (within 6 months) is helpful but not required — we'll refer you for bloods if needed. A list of current medications and a brief summary of your weight and health history is ideal. For virtual consultations, just ensure your camera and sound are working before the call.
Yes — if GLP-1 therapy is clinically appropriate based on your assessment, we prescribe on the day. We'll also guide you on where to source your medication. In some cases, we may request bloodwork before prescribing; your doctor will advise you during the consultation.
A standalone consultation is exactly that — a single appointment billed as you go, with no ongoing commitment. Our Foundation and Elevate programmes are monthly memberships that include check-ins, WhatsApp doctor access, and ongoing prescription management as a package. If you're planning to be on treatment for several months, a programme usually works out to better value.
Yes. Please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your appointment via the confirmation link in your booking email. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may forfeit the consultation fee. If you need help rescheduling, contact us on WhatsApp.
