About Weight MD

Weight MD stands as Los Angeles' premier medical weight loss practice, combining board-certified physicians with registered dietitians to create personalized weight management solutions. Our evidence-based approach focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes, ensuring long-term success for our patients.

Since opening our doors in 2018, we've helped thousands of Los Angeles residents achieve their weight goals through comprehensive medical supervision and nutritional counseling. Our team understands that weight loss isn't one-size-fits-all, which is why we develop individualized treatment plans that address each patient's unique medical history, lifestyle, and goals.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive weight loss services begin with thorough medical evaluations including metabolic testing, body composition analysis, and hormone assessments. We offer prescription weight management medications when appropriate, supervised by our board-certified physicians who monitor progress and adjust treatments as needed. Our registered dietitians provide detailed nutritional counseling, meal planning, and ongoing support to help patients develop healthy eating habits. We also provide behavioral counseling to address emotional eating patterns and lifestyle factors that impact weight management. Additionally, we offer body contouring treatments and skin tightening procedures to help patients feel confident as they lose weight. Our medical spa services complement weight loss efforts with treatments designed to improve overall wellness and appearance during the transformation process.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation where we review your health history, current medications, and weight loss goals. We'll perform necessary lab work and metabolic testing to understand your body's unique needs.

Throughout your program, you'll have regular check-ins with both our medical team and dietitians to track progress and make adjustments as needed. We believe in close supervision and support, which is why our patients receive ongoing guidance and motivation throughout their weight loss journey.

Why Choose Weight MD

What sets Weight MD apart is our medical expertise combined with compassionate care. Our board-certified physicians have extensive experience in obesity medicine and understand the complex factors that contribute to weight gain. We don't believe in fad diets or unsustainable approaches - instead, we focus on evidence-based treatments that create lasting results.

Our patients appreciate our comprehensive approach that addresses not just the physical aspects of weight loss, but also the emotional and behavioral components. With registered dietitians on staff, you'll receive expert nutritional guidance that's both practical and sustainable. Our high success rates speak to our commitment to patient care and our effective treatment protocols.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations and covered services. Many insurance providers now cover medically supervised weight loss programs, especially when documented medical conditions are present. We work with patients to verify coverage and maximize benefits. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans. Initial consultations typically range from $200-300, with follow-up visits and ongoing support priced affordably to ensure continued care accessibility.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, we recommend gathering your medical history, current medications list, and any previous weight loss attempts you've tried. Come prepared to discuss your goals honestly and openly - this helps us create the most effective treatment plan for you. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a few days before your appointment to give our dietitians insight into your current eating patterns.

During treatment, consistency with appointments and following your personalized plan is crucial for success. Don't hesitate to reach out between visits if you have questions or concerns. Our team is here to support you through challenges and celebrate your victories along the way.
