Medical Weight Loss
Our medical weight loss programs provide personalized, science-driven solutions for sustainable results. Combining metabolic assessments, hormone balancing, and behavioral support, we address individual health needs through FDA-approved medications and lifestyle interventions. Patients receive tailored plans that integrate nutritional guidance, exercise strategies, and continuous monitoring to ensure long-term success in managing obesity and improving overall wellness.
GLP-1 Program
The GLP-1 program utilizes FDA-approved agonists to regulate appetite and improve metabolic health. By mimicking natural hormones that control blood sugar and satiety, this treatment supports sustainable weight loss while reducing cardiovascular risks. Patients benefit from personalized dosing, regular progress tracking, and complementary lifestyle coaching to maximize therapeutic effectiveness and long-term health improvements.
FDA-approved Medications
We offer FDA-approved medications as part of comprehensive weight loss plans. These pharmaceutical solutions optimize metabolism, suppress appetite, and enhance fat-burning efficiency under strict medical supervision. Each prescription is tailored to individual health profiles, with ongoing monitoring to ensure safety, efficacy, and alignment with patients' overall wellness goals through regular follow-up assessments.
Family Medicine
Our family medicine services provide holistic healthcare for all ages, addressing preventive care, chronic disease management, and acute conditions. We emphasize wellness screenings, immunizations, and personalized health education while maintaining continuity of care for entire families. This approach ensures comprehensive support that integrates weight management with broader health optimization strategies.
IV Nutrition Therapy
IV nutrition therapy delivers essential vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. This treatment addresses nutrient deficiencies, boosts energy levels, and supports immune function through customized infusion blends.

This Doctor gets it! Dr. Alobeid understands the root cause of most of our health issues is our weight. He addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. 40 lbs in 7 months with 20 more to go and I feel great. Personal, motivating and funny with a knowledgeable staff, Dr. Alobeid cares about your health and not feeding the Big Pharma/Big Medical industry. The best part is, he keeps cutting my diabetes meds because, with the weight loss, they are no longer needed. Type 2 diabetes is curable and Dr. Alobeid knows the secret!

Dr. Alobeid is an excellent physician. I have been struggling with obesity all my life and after turning 50 weight loss began more challenging than ever. I stopped trying initially because nothing was working. After 18 months with COVID and COVID pounds I knew I had to find the right Physician. I was committed to find the right doctor this could not be my fate.

I am very excited about my experience with Dr Alobeid. He is very caring and concerned about helping me achieve my goals and is very informative and educational about what my tests mean and how I can further help myself achieve the goals I desire. He has done tests no other Dr has ever done before which has given me great insight as to the direction I need to go and i saw immediate results. He explains things well and is honest about the reality of where you are in relation to where you want to be with your body. I am very happy so far and will continue to see him.
