What is Obesity Medicine?

Obesity medicine is a recognized medical specialty focused on the comprehensive treatment of obesity as a chronic condition. Our board-certified obesity medicine physicians look beyond calorie counting to address the biological, behavioral, and environmental factors that influence weight and metabolic health.


At our Rockville clinic, care is led by physicians with specialty certification through the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Every treatment plan is personalized to your health history, goals, and preferences.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need a referral to be seen at your Rockville clinic?

    Most patients do not need a referral, but some insurance plans require one. Our team will confirm this when we verify your benefits.

  • How is obesity medicine different from a general weight loss program?

    Obesity medicine treats weight as a chronic medical condition using evidence-based tools, including medical evaluation, nutrition, behavior change, and medications when appropriate. Care is supervised by a board-certified physician.

  • Will I be prescribed medication?

    Not automatically. Medication is one option that may be part of your plan if your physician determines it is clinically appropriate. It is always paired with lifestyle support.

  • How long does treatment take?

    Obesity is a chronic condition, and long-term success comes from ongoing care. Many patients continue with periodic follow-ups for a year or more.
