A personalized, physician-supervised plan overseen by a board-certified bariatric surgeon, so if medication alone is not enough, your next option is already in the same office.
Start with the least invasive step that can work for you.
Knowing when to use the right treatment, or the right combination of treatments, for you.
Medical weight loss is a doctor-led program that treats excess weight as a health condition, with prescription medication when it fits, a nutrition plan and regular follow-up.
The medications most patients ask about are GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. These weekly injections mimic gut hormones involved in appetite, so you feel full sooner and think about food less. They work alongside the eating and activity changes that keep weight off.
Dr. Keshavarzi oversees every plan we build, and each one is personalized to your health, history and goals. Because he is also a bariatric surgeon, your plan is never limited to one tool: some patients do well on medication alone, some move to a procedure, and some use both.
Medical weight loss suits adults who want physician support to lose weight without surgery, or who want to try the least invasive option first. Your consultation decides whether it fits and whether medication is part of the plan.
Every option below is performed or overseen by the same surgeon.
| Option | How it works | Incisions | Often a fit for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical Weight Loss | Physician-supervised plan with GLP-1 injections when appropriate, nutrition guidance and check-ins. | None | Moderate weight to lose, or starting without a procedure. |
| ORBERA Gastric Balloon | A soft balloon placed in the stomach endoscopically to limit portions, then removed later. | None | A temporary, nonsurgical boost with a set end date. |
| Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty | Sutures placed through an endoscope fold the stomach into a smaller shape. | None external | More restriction than medication, without surgery. |
| Low BMI Gastric Sleeve | Our "Mini Sleeve": the sleeve technique for patients with less weight to lose. | Small, laparoscopic | Below standard surgical criteria but still struggling. |
| Gastric Sleeve | Most of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, leaving a narrow sleeve that holds less food. | Small, laparoscopic | Significant weight to lose and a single, lasting procedure. |
Board-certified bariatric surgeon who oversees our medical weight loss program. Patients call him Dr. K.
If medication stalls, you do not start over with a new doctor. Dr. K performs every next step himself, from the balloon and ESG to the sleeve and bypass.
Dr. K practices what he preaches: staying active, eating well and keeping a healthy weight.
A plan that adjusts as you progress.
Dr. K reviews your health history, medications, past attempts and goals.
Whether a GLP-1 medication fits, plus nutrition and activity targets.
Medication doses usually start low and rise gradually while your body adjusts.
Follow-up visits track progress and fine-tune the dose and plan.
Maintenance at your goal, or a procedure if medication is not enough.
The misconceptions we correct most often.
Appetite hormones, metabolism, sleep and some medications all affect weight. A physician looks at those causes, not just calories.
GLP-1 medication quiets hunger. The habits you build while taking it are what keep the weight off later.
Some patients need one, others a combination. Dr. K decides that with you based on your health.

Yes. Dr. K also performs the gastric balloon, ESG and gastric sleeve, so you can move to a procedure without changing doctors. Injections must be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery, and he plans that timing with you.
The pace depends on your starting point, the medication used and the habits you build. Most plans aim for steady loss over months, and check-ins let us adjust if results slow.
