Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program

Massachusetts General Hospital - Weight Center

The Obesity Pharmacotherapy Program in Newton Center, MA, offers a holistic, one-year approach to weight loss that integrates essential lifestyle changes with effective medication to address obesity and its related health conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea. Our program begins with comprehensive initial assessments that include a simple breathing test for metabolic rate, individualized nutrition planning with a dedicated dietitian, education on mindful eating, and regular weight evaluations. Following the assessments, our expert care team crafts a tailored plan that may involve scheduled dietitian consultations, closely monitored weight loss medications, and access to behavioral or surgical options. We accept MassHealth and Medicare, and new patients are encouraged to attend an informative orientation where they will undergo a thorough evaluation with specialists in obesity medicine, dietetics, and psychology. By focusing on practical strategies and personalized care, we are committed to helping each patient reach their weight loss goals and improve their overall health and wellness.
