“Obesity is a disease that requires a multifaceted approach,” Dr. Washington states. “At The Healthy Weigh MD, we provide comprehensive evaluations to uncover the underlying causes of obesity and overweight. My goal is to work collaboratively with each patient to develop a tailored treatment plan that meets their unique needs.”

“More than just a physician, I am a community advocate,” Dr. Washington explains. “I aim to dispel stigma and judgment surrounding health issues while inspiring others to pursue their dreams, regardless of their background. I am deeply motivated by the positive impact I can make in the lives of my patients and the communities I serve.”
