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.

I have been going to RIVAS since December 3, 2024. I have lost 18 lbs, so far. The office is easy to get to. Parking in front and back. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Ada who weighs me in always has a smile of her face! PA Kelsey and Dr. B., are extremely cheerful and encouraging. The texting and email system guarantees you don't miss an appointment! Very well run office.

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.

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 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🩵💙❤️

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!

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.
