A Medical Approach to Weight Loss

Coastal Gastroenterology Associates offers a physician-supervised virtual weight loss program designed for patients who want a medical, evidence-based approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Led by Dr. Advitya Malhotra, our program combines the convenience of telehealth visits with the expertise and accountability of physician oversight.

How It Works

• Initial consultation — a comprehensive virtual visit with Dr. Malhotra to review your medical history, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized plan
• Personalized plan — tailored dietary guidance, exercise recommendations, and when appropriate, FDA-approved medications to support your weight loss
• Ongoing support — regular telehealth check-ins to monitor your progress, adjust your plan, and provide the encouragement and accountability you need
• Convenience — all visits are conducted via telehealth, so you can participate from anywhere without traveling to our office

Why a GI Practice?

As gastroenterologists, we understand the deep connection between weight and digestive health. Excess weight contributes to fatty liver disease, acid reflux, and other GI conditions. Our weight loss program addresses these connections, helping patients improve both their weight and their overall digestive wellness.
