The practice describes its guiding principle as integrity over income, and states that its physicians and medical aestheticians put patients first, recommending only the products and services that fit each person's health. Its weight loss programs emphasize nourishment rather than deprivation, with attention to protein, fiber, and balanced carbohydrate sources, and its patient education addresses common nutrition myths, including the ideas that carbohydrates cause weight gain or that starving yourself is necessary to lose weight. The team includes Allison Strahan, a Physician Assistant certified who trained at Gannon University, and Dr. Christopher DiOrio, who practices in obesity medicine, emergency medicine, and critical care, studied biological sciences at The Ohio State University, graduated from Western University of Health Sciences, completed an internship year at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center/St Francis Hospitals Systems, and was honored as Teacher of the Year at the Medical College of Georgia. The practice also maintains a blog covering topics such as testosterone replacement therapy and compounded semaglutide availability, and sells nutritional products, supplements, and skincare products.

Patient reviews describe a professional and personable staff, thorough evaluation of patient history with attentive follow-up, and consistent encouragement at weekly weigh-ins. One reviewer reported losing 55 pounds through the program, and another noted that the staff does not push unnecessary products or services, instead guiding patients toward individual health choices.

For Charleston-area patients seeking medically supervised weight loss, aesthetics, and hormone therapy, Physician's Plan of Charleston pairs physician-led programs with a team that reviews each patient's history and follows through on care.
