Obesity is a chronic, progressive medical disease that affects overall health, quality of life, and longevity. It is not simply a matter of willpower or lifestyle. Effective treatment requires an individualized, evidence-based approach that addresses the biological, behavioral, and metabolic factors contributing to weight gain.
Dr. Farhad Anoosh is uniquely qualified to care for patients with obesity as both a board-certified general surgeon and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. His practice combines medical weight management, modern anti-obesity medications, lifestyle interventions, and bariatric surgery when appropriate, allowing every patient to receive the treatment that best fits their individual needs.
Every patient deserves a personalized treatment plan rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. Some patients achieve excellent results with lifestyle modification alone, others benefit from medication, and some are best served with bariatric surgery. In many cases, combining these approaches provides the most durable results. The goal is not simply weight loss—it is improving metabolic health, reducing obesity-related disease, and helping patients achieve lasting success.
GLP-1 receptor agonists and other FDA-approved medications have transformed obesity treatment. When medically appropriate, these therapies may reduce appetite, improve satiety, support clinically meaningful weight loss, and improve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and cardiovascular risk. Medication is prescribed only after a comprehensive medical evaluation and is always combined with lifestyle modification and ongoing follow-up.
As a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon and obesity medicine physician, Dr. Anoosh offers a comprehensive continuum of care. Patients who do not require surgery receive expert medical management, while those who may benefit from bariatric surgery receive objective counseling regarding all available treatment options. Patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery also receive long-term medical follow-up, nutritional guidance, and management of weight regain when appropriate.
