Appointment was perfect! just like it always is when I go there. They are always on time, and everyone not just professional, but very nice.. I love they send all the reminders also.
I had an appointment at the location in Annapolis, but missed my appointment, wished I would’ve gotten a reminder. So that’s why I went back to the Glen Burnie location…. Never any problems 😁

I am so Greatful to Dr Rivas and his team in Abington Md. I started Oct 14th 2024 I am down 25 pounds and I feel so good. The staff is so friendly and I know that I will reach my goal with Trizepatide. I am currently taking 11mg. I also like to add I have had nooooooo side affects.

The staff is always pleasant, sometimes I have to be mindful that this is not my primary care Physician. I sometimes be expecting more engagement from the medical staff that is giving the GLP injection.😂😂😂😂. They definitely get you in and get you out with the quickness. I don’t think I’ve ever spend over 15/20 minutes for the total visit. .
As far as the progress of the injections, I have been using tirzepatide since May 2025. Losing 26 lbs, beginning weight 185 lbs today’s weight 159lbs. Goal weight 145/150.

I go to the Glen Burnie office and I must say, the entire staff are genuinely just a great group of individuals. Every one of my visits i have been treated with the utmost respect. Lisa, who is just one of the physicians/nutritional specialist, is probably my absolute favorite. She takes her time in getting to know you and finding a plan that fits your needs and what YOU feel comfortable with. She makes it all about YOU. She is just an all around good person. When you sit in her office, her first question is always, "How did your month go?" She doesn't just mean with meal planning and medications and things like that...she means everything. That's why I like her so much. She wants you to reach your goals and she knows medications, meal planning, and gym visits aren't the only road to that end goal. Since going to Revis, I believe I've lost a total of 75 pounds. Still not done but I feel great...mentally and physically. Thank you to the staff at Revis for giving me the tools I need to help me not only to get to my end goal, but to help me maintain it.

In closing, it would just like to say if you've ever thought of going to Revis, take it from someone who had doubts...GO! You will NOT be disappointed. The entire staff will make you feel like you're family

Our patients find Tirzepatide especially helpful when they’re looking for a long-term solution or need to lose more than 10–15 pounds.
However, Tirzepatide is not recommended if you have any of the following:

Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
Type 1 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes and are already taking a GLP-1 medication
History of pancreatitis
Chronic kidney disease (unless cleared by your nephrologist)

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.
