Obesity Medicine · Glendale, CA · Sera Ramadan, D.O.
Medical Weight Loss,
Built Around Your Biology
Physician-supervised care with FDA-approved medications, including GLP-1 therapies, from a board-certified obesity medicine specialist in Glendale, CA.
What We Offer
Weight loss medicine that
actually treats obesity
Obesity is a complex, chronic disease and not a willpower problem. At Los Angeles Primary Care in Glendale, Sera Ramadan, D.O. takes an evidence-based approach: identifying the metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral drivers unique to each patient, then building a treatment plan around real clinical data.
That means comprehensive lab work, FDA-approved medications when appropriate, and ongoing follow-up from a physician who actually knows you and not a rotating roster of virtual providers.
The Process
How physician-supervised
weight loss works here
Initial Consultation
A thorough intake with Sera Ramadan, D.O. covering your full medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and current metabolic health. This is a real physician visit, not a checkbox form.
Comprehensive Lab Work
We order a comprehensive metabolic panel, evaluating for diabetes, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and other labs including hormones to find out what's actually driving your weight. We also perform genetic screening for rare conditions including Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS).
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your results, Sera Ramadan, D.O. develops a plan that may include GLP-1 medications, nutrition guidance, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle modifications, all calibrated to your biology.
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment
Regular follow-ups to track progress, adjust medications, repeat labs, and ensure you're losing fat while preserving muscle. We also monitor a comprehensive vitamin panel for all patients on GLP-1 medications, with special attention to our post-bariatric surgery patients who have unique nutritional needs. The goal is durable, healthy weight and not just a lower number.
Beyond the clinic, we have a robust referral network to support every dimension of your health. That includes an on-site exercise physiologist, nutrition therapy referrals, therapists who specialize in binge eating disorder, and geneticists when we uncover an underlying genetic cause for obesity. This is more than online, checklist medicine. This is a comprehensive program built to get to the bottom of your weight struggles and provide sustainable, long-term solutions.
FDA-Approved Medications
Weight loss medications we
prescribe and manage
As an obesity medicine specialist, Sera Ramadan, D.O. prescribes weight loss medications that have demonstrated meaningful, sustained results in clinical trials and monitors patients carefully throughout treatment.
Semaglutide
A once-weekly injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist with substantial clinical evidence for weight reduction, cardiovascular benefit, and blood sugar control. Appropriate for many patients with obesity or overweight with metabolic comorbidities.
Wegovy · Ozempic · Rybelsus
Tirzepatide
A dual incretin agonist targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide has demonstrated superior average weight reduction compared to semaglutide in head-to-head trials. Sera Ramadan, D.O. evaluates candidacy on an individual basis.
Zepbound · Mounjaro
Other Approved Medications
Not every patient is a GLP-1 candidate, and one medication doesn't fit all. Sera Ramadan, D.O. is trained in the full range of FDA-approved obesity pharmacotherapy and will recommend what best fits your health profile.
Bupropion/Naltrexone · Phentermine/Topiramate · Liraglutide (Saxenda) · Orlistat · Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse)
What We Treat
Conditions we address through
obesity medicine
Excess weight is rarely an isolated issue. Sera Ramadan, D.O. identifies and treats the metabolic conditions that drive weight gain and make sustainable loss difficult.
Obesity & Overweight
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of obesity as a chronic disease, including BMI assessment, body composition analysis, and a personalized medical weight loss plan in Glendale and surrounding areas.
Insulin Resistance & Prediabetes
Fasting insulin and glucose patterns reveal metabolic dysfunction long before a diabetes diagnosis. Early intervention with medication and lifestyle changes significantly improves outcomes.
Metabolic Syndrome
High blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, low HDL, and abdominal adiposity often cluster together. Treating the underlying obesity addresses the syndrome at its root.
Thyroid, PCOS / PMOS
Undiagnosed hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or primary metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) can all directly drive weight gain and make loss significantly harder. We test comprehensively and treat what we find, not just what standard panels include.
Sleep & Cortisol Dysregulation
Poor sleep and chronic stress elevate cortisol, which promotes fat storage and increases cravings. We address these physiological contributors directly rather than ignoring them.
Muscle Loss & Body Composition
Weight loss on GLP-1 medications can cause muscle loss if not managed properly. Sera Ramadan, D.O. builds muscle preservation into every plan from day one.
