There are many causes that directly and indirectly contribute to obesity but behavior, environment, and genetics are among the main contributors. As a family medicine physician and obesity medicine physician, Dr. Chakeer brings a broader perspective to treating obesity. During the initial visit, he takes a comprehensive medical history and assesses patients for medical problems related to their weight, such as sleep apnea, insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes, thyroid problems, anxiety, and depression as well as fatty liver.. He reviews all medications as it is not unusual to find that patients are on several medications that make them gain weight, and substitutes problem medications with weight-neutral or weight-loss-promoting drugs. Each patient gets a customized program individually designed for their specific weight conditions.
Dr. Chakeer prescribes FDA-approved weight loss medications and works with your insurance to help get coverage for these medications like submitting prior authorization if needed.
Most of our patients choose the telemedicine option to meet with Dr. Chakeer to avoid driving and scheduling hurdles.
Dr. Chakeer will meet you monthly to review your progress, adjust medications as needed, and review and help manage or avoid side effects if they happen.
