ABOUT SUNRISE WEIGHT LOSS AND WELLNESS
Sunrise Weight Loss and Wellness is a Nurse Practitioner owned and operated wellness practice in Leominster, Massachusetts. We are dedicated to providing personalized weight management and hormone replacement therapy.
Unfortunately, our current medical system is lacking and 15 minute appointments with your PCP are just not enough to address most of your needs, never mind focus on healthy lifestyle behaviors and disease prevention measures. When we are able to spend more time, assess your symptoms, set and follow up on goals, together we can achieve wellness. Whether you are tired of carrying around that stubborn belly fat, tired of mood swings and hot flashes during perimenopause, or tired of being tired we will work with you to feel and be your best self!
Sunrise Weight Loss and Wellness offers both in person and telemedicine/ video appointments to residents of Massachusetts. Please note, an in person visit is required prior to prescribing certain medications.
Sunrise Weight Loss and Wellness does not accept insurance. However, upon request, we can generate a “Superbill” that clients can submit to insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. A superbill is a detailed receipt of the services provided that includes diagnostic and treatment codes. Please be aware that reimbursement is dependent on individual insurance plans and reimbursement is NOT guaranteed.
Sunrise Weight Loss and Wellness does accept FSA/ HSA payments. Upon request, we will provide clients with a detailed receipt of services provided, treatment codes and documentation of medical necessity. Please note, we do NOT guarantee services will be deemed eligible by your plan.
YOUR PROVIDER
Vanessa Bailey has been practicing for more than 10 years as a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing, most of this time spent as a Primary Care Provider. She is also a Certified Health Coach and has completed extensive additional education in Lifestyle Medicine, Obesity Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men and Women, and holds a Certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from eCornell.
Vanessa personally understands the emotional strain of dealing with excess weight and mediocre health. Despite years of saying exactly what her patients were saying, “I know what to do I just need to do it,” having young children motivated her to make the changes for good and she successfully lost more than 30 pounds.
While always trying to incorporate the importance of healthy lifestyle behaviors in regular Primary Care visits, she was continuing to see patients struggle with the complications of overweight and obesity such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and prediabetes, depression and decreased energy. Additionally, the less than ideal state of our current health care system including long wait times, short appointments and insurance restrictions, grew increasingly frustrating. This prompted her to step away from the traditional medical model and open Sunrise Weight Loss and Wellness with the goal of spending the time necessary to helping you become your healthiest, best self!
