At Michigan Weight Loss Institute, lasting weight loss starts with the right medical team and a plan built specifically around you. Founded by Dr. Rita Kathawa, MD, a board-certified obesity medicine and internal medicine physician, MWLI brings together two convenient Metro Detroit locations — Sterling Heights and Bingham Farms — with a full spectrum of physician-led services designed to address the root causes of weight gain, metabolic disease, and chronic health conditions.
Our team includes Dr. Kathawa, Physician Assistant Stephanie Shaheen, PA-C, and an in-house clinical pharmacist — giving every patient access to coordinated, evidence-based care under one roof. Whether you are exploring GLP-1 medication management for the first time, preparing for bariatric surgery, managing a diagnosis of NAFLD or metabolic syndrome, or pursuing aesthetic treatments to complement your wellness journey, MWLI offers the clinical depth and personalized attention that primary care and telehealth programs cannot match.
Insurance is handled in-house, consultations are covered by most major carriers, and same-week appointments are often available at both our Sterling Heights and Bingham Farms locations. Browse our services below or schedule your first consultation today — your weight loss journey starts here.
