What stands out

• A multispecialty team including surgeons means the full range of options is on the table, not just medication — which matters if medication alone is not the right answer for you.
• Obesity medicine physicians are board-certified in exactly this, a credential almost nothing else in this directory carries.
• Academic medical centre governance is a different category from direct-to-consumer telehealth.

• Check insurance acceptance and expect a longer, more thorough intake than a telehealth form.
• Geographically limited to the Bay Area.
