Medical weight loss & health coaching is not typically covered by most insurance carriers. Unlike insurance-based weight loss clinics that may only prescribe medication, our Direct Specialty Care model provides comprehensive, individualized care. This means more time with Dr. Desai, a thorough root-cause evaluation, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support — all without the limitations and restrictions that insurance often imposes on your care.
All your visits are with Dr. Sejal Desai, a board certified obesity medicine physician. You receive individualized treatment plans based on YOUR specific needs and goals, root cause analysis to understand WHY you gained weight, a holistic approach that includes nutrition guidance, tailored exercise routines, mental health and mindset coaching, weight loss medications (if appropriate), meal replacements & supplements. You also get direct secure messaging access to Dr. Desai, flexible scheduling, and no cancellation fees.
Doctors who specialize in treating obesity, overweight patients, and related disorders. They have additional training beyond standard medical education and focus on identifying root causes of weight gain through comprehensive evaluation and treatment plans that go beyond simply prescribing medications or recommending diets.
We are not a diet program and do not believe in restricting foods. Instead, we focus on incremental lifestyle modifications — teaching you sustainable eating habits, mindful nutrition practices, and how to build a healthy relationship with food that lasts a lifetime. No deprivation, no food shaming.
Dr. Desai will determine if and what medication is necessary once assessed. She only prescribes FDA-approved weight loss medications when medically appropriate. Medications are never mandatory — they are one tool among many in a comprehensive treatment plan. Please note: Dr. Desai does NOT prescribe compounded GLP-1 medications.
Although Dr. Desai is a family medicine & obesity medicine physician, her practice focuses exclusively on weight management and wellness. Patients should maintain a separate primary care physician for general medical needs.
At this time, Dr. Desai only sees patients who live in Texas.
We see anyone 18 years and above.
We accept all major credit cards as well as FSA and HSA accounts.
No weight loss program can guarantee results, because weight loss is complex and depends on many individual factors including genetics, diet, exercise, lifestyle, stress levels, sleep quality, and medication response. However, we are committed to providing the highest level of medical expertise, personalized guidance, and ongoing support to maximize your chances of success. Many of our patients have achieved remarkable, lasting results through our comprehensive approach.
