Wishing the staff at the Bowie Office location a safe and prosperous New Year. May your future be as bright🌞 as your spirit.🔆 Let the New Year 2025 bring peace to your home🏡 and joy to your heart.❤ 🙏I'm praying you have a year full of laughter,😂 adventure, and 🙏blessings.❤😘This office has really great customer service and flexible appointment times! I have been coming here for nine months. I would like to commend all the staff at this location. The staff is very supportive and shows concern. I look forward to coming for my appointment(s). The office atmosphere is always positive and uplifting. Great front office team. Ms. Donna and Sam possess the most kind and gentle spirit (all of the staff do). Their characters are always pleasant and agreeable, radiating willingness and warmth. They all have such a cheery and amiable disposition. When asked how you guys are doing, Sam always responds, I am living the dream 😊. Now I am living the dream Rivas, lost 30+ pounds and feel great. I have energy and the knees do not hurt 😂. I highly recommend Rivas to anyone who needs to accomplish their weight loss goals and for those that just need a good weight loss support system. It works but you have to discipline yourself if you know what I mean 🤔. The sweet cravings have disappeared for which I had a hard time with. You will not be disappointed. Love you guys y'all are the best!!!

I've been seeing Dr Rivas Weight Loss Clinic off and on, at 55 Kensington Pkwy, Abingdon, MD 21009, since 2004. The staff at this location staff are very compassionate, friendly, and accommodating. Dr Rivas has great bed side manners, very friendly strikes up a casual conversation that makes you feel very welcomed, I met with Dr. Rivas in 2004, highly recommend Dr. Paul Rivas as your professional weight loss / control consultant. During the Covid phase I gained quite a bit of weight, 65 pounds to be exact. I've had a difficult time trying to shed this extra weight, I've decided to visit Dr Rivas Weight Loss Clinic on September 4, 2024. At the time of my initial visit I weighed 227 pounds at a height of 5'9". After 3 months of consultations with the Clinic PA's, I've lost 62 pounds, my weight is currently at 165 lbs, my target weight is 155 to 160 lbs, almost there and should make this goal after the Holidays Dinners.Attached is the before and after photo, the before taken on September 4th, 2024 and the after picture taken on December 23rd, 2024, I feel soo much better now, I have more energy, I do not tire as easy, and my clothes fit much more comfortably now. A big thank you to the Rivas medical weight loss staff and the PA's.

I have visited 2 locations Glen Burnie and Bowie. When I tell you they have the best staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I’m not putting names in this post because everyone in both locations are excellent at what they do. I love this place and the people; Oh, and the weight loss meds definitely do what they say they’re going to do. I went from 237lbs in June to 202lbs in December💪🏽I pray they keep giving people hope and the strength to stay focused on their goals🩵💙❤️

Great staff! Works hard to accommodate appointments for their clients. Staff is friendly and efficient. Medical staff closely monitors your progress and plateaus. Blood pressure checks and relevant questions to explain plateaus and celebrations! I have lost almost 35 lbs. in 18 weeks. Highly recommend!

Description

At our weight loss center, we prioritize transparency and realistic expectations. The results with semaglutide injections for weight loss are individualized, and we adhere to the clinical trial dosing regimen, adjusting every 4 weeks as needed. On average, once you reach the full dose at week 17, a steady weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week is commonly observed. We believe in letting the actual outcomes speak for themselves rather than relying on empty promises or gimmicks. Come and discover what you can achieve on your weight loss journey.

The pace of results varies among individuals. While some experience a weight loss of 5 pounds after the initial injection, others may not observe significant changes until 6-8 weeks into the treatment. Our approach involves starting with low doses and gradually increasing to mitigate potential side effects. It takes a minimum of 17 weeks to reach the full 2.4mg dose, ensuring a careful and effective progression toward your weight loss goals.

Semaglutide weight loss injections are a particularly good fit for you if you are looking for a long-term solution, you have taken phentermine or another stimulant medication (like ADHD meds) before, and/or you need to lose more than 10-15 lbs. 

You cannot be treated with a semaglutide injection prescription if you have: 

  • Medullary Thyroid cancer 
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia 
  • Type 1 Diabetics 
  • Type 2 diabetics already taking a GLP-1 medication 
  • History of pancreatitis 
  • Chronic kidney disease (unless cleared by nephrologist) 
  • Nursing, Pregnant, or trying to get pregnant 
  • Short moments of nausea,
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Fatigue
  • Takes away desire for alcohol

Yes, unlike vaccines or many other shots you may think of, this injection is done with a tiny needle that only goes under the skin, not into muscle. Patients often don’t realize we already gave the semaglutide shot.

We do not process any insurance. Unfortunately, most insurance companies refuse to cover medical weight loss, but we are happy to provide invoices for reimbursement if your insurance does. Some patients are able to get reimbursed for the visit.

Patients meet with a provider weekly to receive their injection. If you are traveling or at a maintenance dose, you have the option to take injections home and do it yourself. Below are instructions for injecting the medication at home.
