Obesity Medicine
Expert, Comprehensive Care for Obesity.
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease—not simply a matter of diet or willpower. It is influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, environment, and lifestyle, and requires personalized, evidence-based medical care.
Dr. Anthony Gonzalez is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) and offers comprehensive medical and surgical treatment for obesity through an integrated program designed to help patients achieve lasting weight loss and improved health.
Whether you are seeking medical weight loss, advanced obesity medications, or bariatric surgery, our goal is to provide the right treatment for the right patient at the right time.
Comprehensive Medical Weight-Loss Program
Our medically supervised weight loss program is designed for individuals who want a physician-led approach to achieving sustainable weight loss without surgery—or for those who may benefit from medical therapy before or after bariatric surgery.
Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation and an individualized treatment plan that may include:
- Physician-directed medical weight management
- Comprehensive obesity medicine evaluation
- Personalized nutrition counseling
- Physical activity and lifestyle recommendations
- Behavioral and habit-based strategies
- Long-term weight maintenance planning
- FDA-approved weight loss medications, when appropriate
- Ongoing physician follow-up and support
Our philosophy is to treat the whole patient, not just the number on the scale.
Advanced Weight-Loss Medications
As part of our comprehensive obesity medicine program, we offer evaluation and management with the latest FDA-approved medications for chronic weight management.
These medications—including GLP-1 receptor agonists and newer dual incretin therapies—can help reduce appetite, improve satiety, regulate blood sugar, and promote meaningful weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on each patient’s medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health.
Medical Weight Loss Within a Comprehensive Bariatric Program
Unlike many weight loss clinics that offer medications alone, our medical weight loss program is fully integrated within a comprehensive bariatric surgery center.
This allows patients to receive seamless care throughout every stage of their weight-loss journey, including:
- Medical weight loss as a primary treatment
- Weight loss before bariatric surgery
- Long-term medical management after bariatric surgery
- Treatment of weight regain following previous bariatric procedures
- Ongoing obesity medicine follow-up for lifelong success
Because we offer both medical and surgical options, our recommendations are based on what is best for each individual—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Medical weight loss may be appropriate if you:
- Have a BMI of 30 or greater
- Have a BMI of 27 or greater with obesity-related medical conditions
- Have struggled to lose weight despite diet and exercise
- Want to avoid or delay surgery
