We are a small bespoke practice comprised of a board certified Physician and a board certified Physician Assistant with a combined 20 years of practice in medicine. We are passionate about overall wellness and holistic care and our goal here is to bridge the ever widening gap between patients and medications that can shift their trajectory towards wellness. Obesity is a chronic disease. There is a growing misconception relating obesity to laziness, lack of willpower, and daily choices. We need to shift this perception to understand that obesity is the result of genetics, environmental factors, social determinants and overall IT IS A CHRONIC DISEASE. And we must treat it as such. There is no easy button, but GLP-1 medications have been proven to give patients the edge they need to see changes, feel and look better, and achieve their goals both physically and mentally. Let us help you experience the benefits of combining these medications with sustainable lifestyle changes to your diet and physical activity.

TIRZEPATIDE

It is administered as a once-weekly injectable medication.
Tirzepatide is the FDA approved active ingredient in Mounjaro® and Zepbound™
Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide:
Greater weight loss with tirzepatide as seen in clinical trials:
21.1% average weight reduction with tirzepatide
10-15% average weight reduction with semaglutide
Less side effects reported with tirzepatide
