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.

FAQ

At Rivas Medical Weight Loss, we focus on delivering realistic outcomes through personalized care. Results with semaglutide vary based on individual factors, with adjustments to dosing every four weeks to suit your progress. Once you reach the full dose around week 17, many clients experience consistent weight loss of 1-3 pounds per week. Rather than offering empty promises, we prioritize meaningful progress. Let us help you explore what’s possible on your weight loss journey with our telehealth program. 

Everyone’s weight loss timeline is unique. Some individuals may notice a 5-pound reduction after their first injection, while others experience noticeable changes after 6 to 8 weeks of treatment. We begin with low doses and gradually increase them to reduce the risk of side effects, taking about 17 weeks to reach the full 2.4 mg dose. This steady approach ensures safe and effective results tailored to your body’s needs. 

This treatment may be ideal if you’re seeking long-term weight loss, have used phentermine or stimulant medications before, or aim to lose more than 10-15 pounds. However, some conditions may limit eligibility, including: 

  • Medullary thyroid cancer 
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia 
  • Type 1 diabetes 
  • Type 2 diabetes currently managed with a GLP-1 medication
  • History of pancreatitis 
  • Chronic kidney disease (without clearance from a nephrologist) 
  • Pregnancy, nursing, or trying to conceive 

If semaglutide isn’t suitable for you, phentermine may still be an option, provided no conflicting medical conditions exist. 

Some common side effects reported by clients include: 

  • Brief moments of nausea 
  • Constipation or diarrhea 
  • Fatigue 
  • A reduced desire for alcohol 

Our team works with you to manage these symptoms and provide a positive experience throughout your treatment. 

Yes! Unlike vaccines, these injections use a tiny needle that only reaches the skin’s surface, avoiding muscle tissue. Most clients are surprised to find the injection is so quick and gentle that they barely notice it has already been administered.

We currently do not process insurance. While most insurance companies don’t cover medical weight loss treatments, we are happy to provide detailed invoices for you to submit for reimbursement. Some clients have been able to receive partial reimbursement for their telehealth visits through their insurance providers.

We offer telehealth services for patients residing in Maryland or Virginia who are interested in treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Here’s how it works: 

Monthly Video Appointments: You will have a monthly video appointment with one of our medical providers. During these appointments, your provider will monitor your progress, address any concerns, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. 

Convenient Medication Delivery: Once your treatment plan is established, the telemedicine weight loss prescription will be shipped directly to your home. This ensures you have easy and timely access to your medication without needing to visit the clinic. 

Telehealth allows you to receive high-quality care from the comfort of your home, making it easier to stay on track with your treatment and health goals. 

No, we do not prescribe Phentermine or any controlled substances over telehealth. Currently, we offer semaglutide and tirzepatide through our telehealth services.

You must live in Maryland or Virginia to participate in our Telehealth program.
