Excellent customer service, as soon as you walk into the office they make you feel welcome. They have a wonderful support system and answer all your questions. Honestly I don’t know how I would have done it without Dr. Rivas office. I lost 35 pounds and counting, feel fantastic and have more energy since I was on my twenties …. Thank you

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!

5 weeks in and I am about halfway to my weight loss goal! I started around 218 lbs, and I weighed in at 181 this morning. It has been surprisingly affordable, and they have lots of appointment times available to meet my scheduling needs. They actually care about your progress and help with side effects. There is a proper patient education component, too. I have lots of energy and confidence already!Update: I submitted my invoices to Cigna, and they counted the cost toward my deductible and might cover it! Woohoo!

FAQ

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 medication 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.

This treatment is 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 can not be treated with semaglutide 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

You can still use phentermine if you have any other medical conditions not listed above.

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 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.
