At Fortier Gynecology, medical weight loss is approached with the same care, attention, and respect we bring to every patient relationship. Weight changes can be influenced by hormones, metabolism, age, stress, and medical conditions, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Our goal is to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss safely, effectively, and under direct medical supervision.
Our medical weight loss program is designed for both women and men seeking a structured, evidence-based approach. We begin with a comprehensive medical evaluation to understand your health history, current challenges, and personal goals. From there, we create a customized plan that may include FDA-approved weight loss medications, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support to help you lose weight safely and maintain long-term results.
Unlike commercial weight loss programs, our care is physician-guided and grounded in medicine. Weight loss medications are carefully prescribed and monitored to ensure they are appropriate for your body and health needs. We focus on improving overall wellness, energy levels, metabolic health, and confidence—not quick fixes or unsafe shortcuts.
Medical weight loss can be especially beneficial for patients struggling with stubborn weight despite diet and exercise, hormonal changes during menopause or andropause, or medical conditions that affect metabolism. Our intentionally small practice allows us to listen closely, adjust treatment as needed, and provide ongoing accountability throughout your weight loss journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does medical weight loss work?
Medical weight loss begins with a thorough medical evaluation to identify factors that may be affecting your ability to lose weight. Based on your health history and goals, a personalized plan may include prescription weight loss medications, nutritional guidance, and regular follow-ups. All treatments are monitored by a medical provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Am I a good candidate for medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss may be appropriate for adults who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, have weight-related health concerns, or are experiencing hormonal or metabolic changes. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and determine if medical weight loss is a safe and appropriate option for you.
How quickly will I see results?
Results vary from patient to patient, but many individuals begin noticing changes within the first few weeks of treatment. Safe, sustainable weight loss is the priority, and progress is monitored regularly to ensure steady results while minimizing side effects and maintaining overall health.
