Losing weight can be difficult, especially without expert guidance. At Neaman Wellness Center in Salem, OR, we offer medically supervised weight loss injections to help you achieve lasting results. Our customized programs include powerful tools, like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide, which work alongside your healthy lifestyle to promote steady and sustainable weight loss.
These advanced treatments help regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and support your body’s natural fat-burning processes. Under the care of weight loss specialist Dr. Dennis Barnett, you’ll receive a personalized plan designed to help you safely reach and maintain a healthier weight.
GLP-1’s are an injectable that mimics hormones present in your digestive system. It works by increasing GLP-1, called glucagon-like peptide. GLP plays a role in your digestive system by signaling fullness to the brain. By mimicking this hormone, you will feel fuller for longer, allowing you to more easily stick to your diet.
GLP-1s, like Semaglutide, have already shown significant results when it comes to losing weight. In fact, according to one of the largest trials, patients lost around 6% of their initial body weight.
Over time, you will increase the dosage to ensure good results. During a consultation with our team, you’ll receive a complete treatment schedule.
If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like nothing’s working — you’re not alone. Our medically-guided weight loss program is designed for real people with real challenges. It may be a fit if:
Medication | How It Works | Frequency | Ideal For… |
---|---|---|---|
Semaglutide | GLP-1 agonist | Weekly injection | Gradual weight loss, diabetes management |
Tirzepatide | GLP-1 + GIP agonist | Weekly injection | Enhanced fat loss, better insulin control |
Retatrutide | GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon agonist | Weekly injection | Next-gen triple action for significant fat loss and metabolic benefits |
Cagrilintide | Often used with GLP-1 | Weekly injection | Promotes satiety, delays gastric emptying, and enhances weight loss |
Semaglutide treatment begins with an initial phone consultation where our team will determine if you’re a good candidate. You’ll learn more about semaglutide and what you can expect. From there, a consultation will be scheduled with Dr. Dennis Barnett to determine the process moving forward. Once started, there will be follow-up meetings with Dr. Barnett every three months to make sure that all goals are being met.
During your first consultation with Dr. Barnett, he will review your lab work and talk more in-depth about your medical and family history. He’ll also discuss your diet and exercise regimen and recommend any changes that could improve your results. Finally, you’ll learn about your starting dosage and how to administer it. We recommend asking questions to ensure you feel completely comfortable with the process.
Once you’ve received your medication, you’ll schedule a routine check-in with our team. We’ll discuss your results and check your weight to ensure everything is working as planned. Then, you’ll receive your next round of medication.
You’ll repeat this process routinely where you’ll meet with our physician assistants to check your progress and determine if an increase in your dosage is appropriate. Depending on your needs, you will likely repeat this process on a three-month basis.
Semaglutide can boost your weight loss results and help you feel more confident in your diet and exercise efforts. To meet with our team and learn more, book online to schedule a consultation.

Patients typically lose 10-15% of their body weight when on semaglutide. If you start at 200 lbs, you are like to lose 20-30 lbs.
Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone produced by the body. This slows digestion, makes you feel fuller longer, reduces your appetite, and helps you eat fewer calories and lose weight.
eaching your goal is just the beginning. We’ll help you maintain it. Your care plan may shift to lower-dose medications or transition to lifestyle-based support, including nutrition, movement, and hormone optimization.
