What is Rivas Medical Weight Loss – Silver Spring?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss is a physician-founded weight-loss practice, and this is the Silver Spring location at 8555 16th St #405, Silver Spring, MD 20910. It's cash-pay, they don't take insurance, but they post clear weekly and per-visit prices, so you can see the cost before you walk in.
The named services are medical weight loss, B12 injections, telehealth, and a set of Emface, Exion, Emsculpt Neo, Emsella, and Exomind aesthetic and wellness treatments.
Named weight-loss medications include Tirzepatide and compounded Tirzepatide, Zepbound, Semaglutide and compounded Semaglutide, Wegovy, GLP-1 microdosing, and Phentermine.
The practice is led by Paul Rivas, MD (CEO and Medical Director), with Eli Luft, PA-C (Chief Operating Officer) and Daniel Gordon, MD, among a large practice-wide team that also includes providers such as Kelsey Furstenberg (Family Nurse Practitioner), Debra Pinales (Nurse Practitioner), and Sandra M. Warren, MS, Physician Assistant.
What does it cost?
These are published figures. The initial visit is $195, described as "Expert Care with Premium Medication." Semaglutide is $115 per week at any dose, as an all-inclusive visit and medication. Tirzepatide is $165 per week at any dose. Phentermine is $115 per month. A regular per-visit charge is listed at $100.
On insurance, they're direct: "We do not accept insurance, as most weight loss medications and services are not covered. However, we provide itemized receipts that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement." They accept HSA and FSA at all locations.
Who is it for?
This fits someone who wants GLP-1 or other weight-loss medication with the drug bundled into a flat weekly price, and who is fine paying out of pocket with an HSA/FSA or a receipt to submit later. The all-inclusive weekly pricing suits people who don't want the medication billed separately.
When is it open?
Monday through Wednesday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Thursday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
They also offer telehealth in MD, VA, and FL.
What we couldn't confirm
There's no service-area statement. This location's specific assigned provider isn't named; the roster is practice-wide across all Rivas offices. And there's no dedicated pricing page, so the figures above come from the location page itself.
