Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program

The Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program in Wakefield, MA, is dedicated to helping individuals achieve sustainable weight loss and manage obesity-related health conditions through a tailored, one-year approach. Our program uniquely integrates medication with lifestyle modifications to address the impacts of obesity, including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea. Through initial assessments, including a metabolic rate test and personalized meetings with expert dietitians, we develop a comprehensive plan that emphasizes mindful eating and essential lifestyle changes. Participants benefit from ongoing support, including quarterly dietitian consultations, closely monitored weight loss medication, and options for behavioral or surgical treatment. We prioritize personalized care and are committed to supporting individuals on their journey to better health by offering orientations for new patients, where they receive thorough evaluations from a specialized care team of obesity medicine professionals. Massachusetts General Hospital proudly accepts MassHealth and Medicare to ensure our services are accessible to those in need.
