Brigham & Women's Center for Weight Management
Verified listingAbout Brigham & Women's Center for Weight Management
Brigham and Women's Center for Weight Management and Wellness at 75 Francis Street covers the full escalation path in one hospital: medically supervised calorie-controlled and meal-replacement plans, FDA-approved prescription weight loss medication layered onto the diet program, endoscopic procedures, and gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Co-Director Caroline Apovian, MD, heads a seven-physician medical team, and the medication track pairs regular doctor visits and bloodwork with weekly dietitian check-ins and group sessions. Visits are covered by insurance and medications may be, though meal replacements usually run out of pocket; referrals are typically required and virtual visits are available. Built for patients who want academic-grade obesity care, not same-week starts.
