Physician-Supervised Weight Loss, Done the Right Way
Lose weight with FDA-approved GLP-1 medications — Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro — guided by a real physician, with the labs, dosing, and follow-up to do it safely. Not a med-spa. Real primary care in Huntington Beach.
What are GLP-1 medications?
GLP-1 medications work with your body's own biology. They mimic a natural hormone that signals fullness to your brain and slows how quickly your stomach empties — so you feel satisfied sooner, stay full longer, and naturally eat less without white-knuckling through hunger. In clinical trials, patients on these medications have seen meaningful, sustained weight loss when paired with lifestyle changes.
Branded medications — not compounded
We prescribe genuine, FDA-approved medications from the manufacturer — so you know exactly what you're getting. Dr. Moussa determines which is right for you based on your health, goals, and history.
Semaglutide
A once-weekly injection that targets the GLP-1 pathway to reduce appetite and support steady weight loss. Wegovy is FDA-approved specifically for chronic weight management.
Tirzepatide
A newer, dual-action once-weekly injection (GLP-1 and GIP) shown to deliver strong results, often with fewer digestive side effects. Zepbound is FDA-approved for weight management.
A doctor's care, not a storefront
Plenty of clinics hand out weight-loss shots. Here's what makes doing it with your primary care physician different — and safer.
Real physician oversight
Every plan is built and monitored by Dr. Moussa — a board-certified physician — not a technician following a script.
Labs & safety first
We check the labs that matter, screen for contraindications, and manage side effects and dosing so your progress is safe and sustainable.
Whole-person care
Your weight connects to blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep and more. As your primary care physician, we treat the whole picture — not just the number on the scale.
Is this right for you?
- Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher
- Adults with a BMI of 27+ and a weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes)
- Anyone who has struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
- Patients who want medical supervision, not a one-size-fits-all program
Not sure if you qualify? That's exactly what the consultation is for. Dr. Moussa will review your health history, discuss your goals, and let you know whether a GLP-1 program is a safe and good fit — and if it isn't, he'll tell you that too.

Frequently asked
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary by person, medication, and how closely the plan is followed. In clinical studies, patients on GLP-1 medications combined with lifestyle changes have lost a significant percentage of their body weight over time. Dr. Moussa will set realistic expectations for your situation at your visit.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, constipation, or diarrhea — and they're usually mild and tend to ease as your body adjusts. We start low and increase your dose gradually to minimize them, and we're here to help manage anything that comes up.
Do you use compounded medications?
No. We prescribe genuine, FDA-approved, brand-name medications. You'll know exactly what you're taking and where it came from.
Is this covered by insurance?
Coverage for weight-loss medication varies widely by plan. Our program is offered on a straightforward cash-pay basis so there are no surprises. We're happy to discuss the details at your consultation — call (714) 847-6545.
Do I need to be an existing patient?
Not at all. We're accepting new patients, and many people come to us first for weight management and stay for their primary care.
