At Michigan Weight Loss Institute, our medical weight loss services are designed to treat obesity and metabolic disease using a physician-led, evidence-based approach. Unlike commercial diet programs or one-size-fits-all plans, our team focuses on identifying the underlying medical factors contributing to weight gain, difficulty losing weight, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction.
Every treatment plan is personalized based on your medical history, laboratory testing, body composition, lifestyle, and long-term health goals. Under the direction of Dr. Rita Kathawa, MD, a dual board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, patients receive comprehensive care that combines modern obesity medicine with long-term wellness support.

Patients visit our Sterling Heights and Bingham Farms locations from across Metro Detroit, including Troy, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Rochester Hills, Shelby Township, Warren, and surrounding communities.
