I called Dr Lazarus in the middle of the pandemic convinced I had an eating disorder at 69!!!!! He quickly had me understanding that my weight gain and binge... read more eating was biochemical, a component of brain chemistry. This was easy for me to understand because I’m a therapist and it’s a major question I ask in assessing depression. Dr Lazarus is personable, caring, kind and not shaming at all. He adjusted medication and with the help of a wonderful nutritionist, MaryEllen, within 6 months I lost 40 pounds with out being hungry. The staff is supportive, kind, and helps you to understand there is much more going on to weight loss than will power. A lot is determined by changing hormones and brain chemistry. If you are struggling with your weight please give Dr Lazarus a call. You will not regret it. My cholesterol is back to normal, my clothes fit, and my self esteem feels so much better that I’m not to blame. What a team!! Plus, he’s an incredible musician.

I've recommended them to family members, co-workers,teammates, and every single one has had a positive experience.

FAQ
We are a medical clinic and are happy to provide you a receipt for the services you receive. You are welcome to submit these to your health insurance carrier and request reimbursement; however, many insurers do not cover weight loss treatments. We do not bill insurance directly, and our fees are not artifically inflated for purposes of insurance billing.
We encourage you to set up a free 30 minute consultation with one of our amazing Registered Dietitians. We can review our programs, give you a chance to see the clinic and meet the staff, and figure out if this is going to be a good fit.
Losing weight and keeping it off is far more than eating less or moving more. Decades of experience have shown that keeping weight off is hard because the body fights back. For this reason, we need a very structured approach to eating, physical activity, environmental restructuring, behavior change, and medical weight loss management. Otherwise, before we know it, the lost weight seems to find its way back!
If your BMI is 30 or more, or if it is 27 or more with a related medical problem like elevated blood pressure or cholesterol, then the use of weight loss medication is now recommended. There are lots of choices ranging from older inexpensive generic medications to the very expensive injectable GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound. Whether or not to use these medications is a complex decision that we individualize with every patient.
Medical weight loss management is far more than adding weight loss medication. Sometimes there are other medications causing weight gain - removing one of those, or substituting an appropriate different weight-neutral medication can be incredibly helpful! There are often missed diagnoses or mismanaged diagnoses making weight loss challenging - slow metabolism, slow thyroid, sleep apnea, liver or kidney problems, pre-diabetes and the like. Our providers are skilled at looking at the whole picture, not just the weight.
We offer patients evidence-based medical treatments; however, we are not a surgical practice. Most patients considering weight loss surgery are required by insurers to undergo a 6 month medical weight loss program first. We are happy to refer for surgery, and can work with you both before and afterwards.
