Medical Weight Loss in Canton MA
Weight is a medical issue, not a willpower test. Our program is led by Dr. Shahid Ali, who is board-certified in Obesity Medicine (ABOM) — a credential few primary care practices offer. Care begins with evaluating the metabolic, hormonal, medication, and sleep factors that may be working against you, then building an individualized plan that can include nutritional guidance, activity changes, and prescription therapy such as GLP-1 medications where clinically appropriate. We follow you closely and adjust as your body responds. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online. We are conveniently located at 95 Washington St, Ste 204 B, Canton, MA 02021.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide?
Where clinically appropriate, yes. These medications work best combined with nutritional and activity changes, and require monitoring — which is exactly what a physician-led program provides.
Is the program covered by insurance?
Visits are typically billable to insurance. Medication coverage varies considerably by plan; we’ll check your benefits and discuss options, including our $50/month membership add-on program.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
It varies by individual, starting point, and treatment. We focus on sustainable progress and on the metabolic markers that matter — blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol — not just the number on the scale.
What makes this different from a commercial diet program?
Dr. Shahid Ali is board-certified in Obesity Medicine (ABOM). We evaluate the medical causes working against you — thyroid, medications, sleep apnea, insulin resistance — which commercial programs cannot address.

What if I’ve failed diets before?
That’s the norm, not a failure. We look for the metabolic, hormonal, medication, and sleep factors working against you — which is what separates medical weight management from another diet.
