Doctor-Led Weight Loss

A full assessment first, then a plan including prescription treatment where clinically indicated.

Doctor-Led Weight Loss

About the service

Weight loss, led by a doctor.

Most weight-loss plans tell you what to eat. Very few ask why the weight went on in the first place. Medical weight loss starts with that question — and with a doctor who can answer it: Dr Anjali Hooda, MD (Internal Medicine).

The question most people ask first
Do you prescribe medication for weight loss?
Where it is clinically indicated, yes.

Dr Hooda decides after your bloodwork and a full assessment. Medication is never the whole plan — it sits alongside nutrition and lifestyle, and the dosage is reviewed at every visit.

Not everyone who asks for medication needs it, and not everyone is suitable. The assessment is how we find out — which is why it comes first.

No two plans are the same

Your plan is built around your bloodwork, your history and what you have already tried — not picked off a list.

What shapes your plan
Your bloodwork
Your history and medicines
What you have already tried
How you respond, review by review
Your plan
Its length, nutrition, supplements and any prescription — set by Dr Hooda.
No two people get the same plan, because no two people bring the same four things.

For fees, please get in touch — every plan is built around the patient, so we will talk through what yours involves.

We may refer you to the emergency department (casualty) if you have acute symptoms.

Questions

Do I need a referral?

No. Book directly.

How much weight will I lose?

It depends on what is driving the weight, and we would rather tell you honestly after your assessment than put a number on a website.

Is this just a diet?

No. Nutrition is one part. The plan starts from your bloodwork, and brings in lifestyle, targeted supplementation and, where clinically indicated, prescription treatment.

What does it cost?

Every plan is different, so the fee depends on what yours involves. Your tests and medicines are extra. Get in touch and we will tell you.
