Medical Weight Loss - Personalized & Comprehensive
Weight loss is a complex medical issue that requires more than willpower and diet plans. Our medical weight loss program provides physician-supervised care for appropriate candidates who are committed to achieving sustainable, long-term weight loss and improved health.
Dr. Aggarwal creates individualized treatment plans that address the underlying causes of weight gain, including metabolic factors, medical conditions, medications, and behavioral patterns.
Is Medical Weight Loss Right For You?
We screen candidates based on medical appropriateness and commitment to lifestyle changes. Typical criteria include:
- BMI ≥ 30 (or BMI ≥ 27 with weight-related medical conditions)
- Weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or joint pain
- Previous diet attempts that were unsuccessful or regained weight
- Willingness to make lifestyle changes including nutrition, exercise, and behavioral modification
- Medical stability to safely participate in a weight loss program
- Realistic goals and commitment to follow-up care and monitoring
Note: Not all patients are appropriate candidates. Dr. Aggarwal will complete a thorough medical evaluation to determine if this program is suitable for you.

- Reduced joint pain and improved mobility
- Better sleep quality and energy levels

⚠️ Important Notice: This is a medical program for appropriate candidates only. Weight loss medications (prescription diet pills) may be considered for eligible patients as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. All medications are prescribed based on medical necessity and individual assessment. This program requires physician oversight and regular monitoring.
Is This Program Different From "Diet Plans"?
Yes. Our medical weight loss program differs from commercial diet programs in important ways:
- Physician-Led: Board-certified physician oversees your care, not just a nutritionist or counselor
- Medical Evaluation: We identify and treat underlying medical conditions affecting your weight
- Individualized: Plans are customized to YOUR health, preferences, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach
- Medication Management: Prescription options available when medically appropriate
- Regular Monitoring: Laboratory tests and vital signs tracked throughout the program
- Long-Term Focus: We help you maintain weight loss, not just achieve it temporarily
