Search the Obesity Medicine Association’s member directory by city, state, or zip code for an obesity medicine clinician in your area.

What Is an Obesity Medicine Clinician?
For many people, working with an obesity doctor or health care provider is more effective than any other attempts at weight loss. Self-help and diet books may not lead to significant or sustained weight loss. Obesity medicine clinicians are specially trained to treat obesity and obesity-related conditions using evidence-based approaches.
Obesity medicine providers treat obesity as a disease. Because so many different factors contribute to obesity, obesity medicine clinicians develop personalized treatment plans comprised of nutrition, physical activity, behavior therapy, and medication.
