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 are very compassionate, friendly, and accommodating. Dr Rivas has great bedside manners, very friendly strikes up a casual conversation that makes you feel very welcomed, I met with Dr. Rivas, in 2004, I 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. 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.

The experience at Rivas has been great. The entire staff are so nice. I love how you are not there for so long how you normally would be at a doctors office. The longest I’ve been there is probably 30-40 min from check in to check out. Definitely would recommend to others and will go back again.

FAQ

At our weight loss center, we prioritize transparency and realistic expectations. Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide follow individualized dosing plans, with adjustments made every four weeks. Our patients often report steady weight loss of 1–3 pounds per week once they reach a therapeutic dose.

Everyone’s weight loss journey is different. Some patients have told us they lost 5 pounds after their first injection, while others didn’t notice major changes until 6–8 weeks into treatment. We start at a low dose and increase gradually to help reduce side effects and ease your body into treatment.

This program may be a great fit if you’re looking for long-term weight loss, have previously tried medications like phentermine, or are hoping to lose more than 10–15 pounds.
However, there are certain conditions that may make Semaglutide or Tirzepatide less appropriate, including:
  • A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN syndrome)
  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Type 2 diabetes already being treated with a GLP-1 medication
  • A history of pancreatitis
  • Chronic kidney disease (unless cleared by your nephrologist)
  • Pregnancy, nursing, or trying to conceive
If this treatment isn’t the right fit, phentermine may still be an option — but it is only available through our in-clinic program, not via telehealth.

Our patients often mention brief moments of nausea, changes in digestion like constipation or diarrhea, and feeling more tired than usual. Many have also noticed 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, Virginia and Florida 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, Virginia and Florida to participate in our Telehealth program.
