WHO WE WERE

Founded in 2008, The Center for Medical Weight Loss, Lutherville (now Crossroads Weight Loss) was a medical practice specializing in weight loss or "Bariatric"  Medicine located just outside Baltimore, Maryland at Greenspring Station in Lutherville.  We practiced based on the premise that obesity is a chronic medical condition that is best managed under the care of a qualified physician.  As a medical weight loss practice, we provided the medical monitoring necessary to safely administer lower calorie and lower carbohydrate diet plans than commercial weight loss programs--thus resulting in faster weight loss in many cases.  Additionally, we enhanced  weight loss efforts by using such modalities as prescription appetite suppressant medications, Vitamin B-12 shots, and fat burning supplements when deemed safe and medically appropriate.  Our compassionate, professional staff provided the highest level of care possible and I will be forever grateful to them!  Our goal wasn't just that you lost weight, but that you experienced health gain as well!  We were among the leaders in weight loss medicine in Baltimore.  

So why is the above section in past tense?  Well, unfortunately I had to close my medical practice in mid-2023 due to severe and relapsing side effects of the Pfizer mRNA covid vaccine.  Not to be overly dramatic, but after a couple near death experiences, and some ongoing somewhat debilitating symptoms, I am doing MUCH MUCH better and am finally ready to do something to help people again.  I don't think I am going to start a new practice as yet, but I will use this website as a platform to impart what I feel is useful information that I have amassed in 31 years of practicing Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine.
