About
At Weight Loss and Vitality, three physicians deliver a broad range of integrative medicine, medical weight loss, and aesthetic services. The practice operates seven locations across Alexandria, Manassas, and Stafford, VA; Washington, DC; Gaithersburg, MD; Riverhead, NY; and Myrtle Beach, SC. Telemedicine extends that reach further through a Virtual Precision Medicine program available across the United States.
The clinical team approaches health by targeting root causes rather than managing symptoms alone. Weight loss care follows a structured three-step process: an initial health screening with metabolic and cardiac testing, a provider visit roughly seven days later, and ongoing follow-up. GLP-1 therapies including semaglutide and tirzepatide sit at the center of the weight loss program. The practice also offers hormone therapy, IV nutrient infusions, NAD+ therapy, and advanced body contouring using SculpSure, BTL Vanquish, and BTL Emsella. Facial aesthetics services range from Botox and dermal fillers to blepharoplasty and mini surgical face lifts. The team emphasizes body composition over scale weight, prioritizing lean muscle preservation for lasting results.
