Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program

Located in Medford, MA, the Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program is dedicated to helping individuals achieve sustainable weight loss through a combination of lifestyle adjustments and medication. This comprehensive one-year program addresses obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea. Patients undergo an initial assessment that includes a breathing test to evaluate their metabolic rate, personalized dietary consultations with a dietitian, education on mindful eating, and regular weight checks. Following these evaluations, our care team crafts tailored plans that may consist of periodic dietitian meetings, closely monitored weight loss medications, and potential behavioral or surgical options. We accept MassHealth and Medicare, making our services accessible to those in need. New patients are invited to attend an orientation where they will receive a thorough evaluation and connect with specialists trained in obesity management, ensuring a supportive approach to achieving health goals.
