Welcome to Arise Wellness Clinic
Weight Loss . Metabolic Health . Equity in Care
Obesity Is a Chronic Disease not a Personal Failure! Obesity is not a personal weakness.
It is a complex, chronic, and relapsing medical condition influenced by biology, genetics, hormones, and environment. Arise Wellness Clinic recognizes obesity as a serious health disease that requires long-term medical care, structured support, and evidence-based treatment not shame, blame, or temporary solutions.
At Arise Wellness Clinic, we treat obesity with the respect and medical attention it deserves. We provide comprehensive metabolic evaluations, personalized treatment plans, lifestyle guidance, and FDA-approved medication options when appropriate.
Our approach focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying metabolic drivers of weight gain — so you can achieve sustainable, long-term results. You deserve care that is compassionate, science-based, and designed to support your health for the long run.
Our mission is simple and inclusive: To provide accessible, science-based weight loss care that supports individuals from all backgrounds and helps remove barriers to better health. We are committed to creating a welcoming environment where every person feels seen, heard, and supported on their journey.
Everyone deserves access to respectful, effective, and high-quality care.
All care is delivered through secure, HIPAA-compliant video visits.
