Dr. Maysaa Hameed, M.D. (ABIM/ABOM)
Dr. Maysaa Hameed, MD, is a board-certified obesity medicine specialist and the founder of Weight Loss Physicians. She built the practice around a simple belief: patients deserve weight care that is medical, individualized, and free of judgment.
Rather than one-size-fits-all diets, Dr. Hameed uses a comprehensive, science-backed approach, reviewing the medications you already take, identifying medical factors that make weight loss harder, and drawing on the full range of tools available in obesity medicine, from nutrition and behavior change to FDA-approved medical therapies where appropriate. Her focus is on more than a number on the scale; it’s on improving your overall health, energy, and quality of life, and helping you sustain those changes long after your program begins.

Why Choose a Medical Weight Loss Clinic?
Why Medical Weight Loss Works When Diets Don't
If you’ve lost weight before only to regain it, the problem likely wasn’t you. Obesity is a chronic medical condition influenced by genetics, hormones, medications, sleep, stress, and metabolism, factors that no diet alone can address. That’s why a physician-led approach makes the difference.
At our Rochester weight loss clinic, every plan is created and supervised by a board-certified obesity specialist. We look at the whole picture: your labs, your current prescriptions, the conditions you’re managing, and the barriers that have gotten in the way before. From there, we combine the right mix of nutrition guidance, activity coaching, behavioral support, and, when it’s clinically appropriate, medical therapy, so your results are safe, sustainable, and grounded in real evidence.
The result is care that treats the cause, not just the symptom
Your weight loss journey is more than just changing how you look. It’s about improving your health and feeling your best. Each step you take towards a healthier you is a victory, paving the way to a vibrant, energized, and fulfilling life.

Before I started my weight loss journey, I was at my heaviest weight ever (202 lbs). I was depressed, insecure and tired all the time. I had a hard time keeping up with my grandkids, which was really bothering me. I knew I needed to do something.
My weight loss journey began in May 2024, when I went to Dr. Hameed and told her I wanted to lose weight so, I could feel like myself again. She listened and put me on a weight loss program. I have lost 45 lbs. so far and still going. I feel like I have my life back. I have my confidence back and have a bunch of energy so I can run around with my grandkids.
Thank you, Dr. Hameed for helping me with this journey and helping me become healthy again!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Hameed at Weight Loss Physicians. Dr. Hameed is not only a highly knowledgeable physician but also an incredibly supportive coach. From the beginning of our journey together, she provided the tools, guidance, and encouragement I needed to achieve results I once thought were out of reach.
With her expert support, I not only met but surpassed my initial weight loss goal—returning to my high school weight and bringing my BMI into a healthy, normal range. I reached my goal weight in August 2024 and have successfully maintained it within just a 3-pound range ever since. I feel fantastic, both physically and mentally, and I truly love the way I look and feel today.
If you're looking for a compassionate, skilled, and motivating partner on your weight loss journey, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Dr. Hameed. She has made a lasting, positive impact on my life.

For years, I struggled with my weight. Since I was in my 20s, and especially after having kids, the battle with weight loss has been an ongoing rollercoaster. I tried countless diets, each time losing weight only to gain it back—and then some. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the scale would creep back up again. It seemed like nothing ever worked.
When I turned 50, I hit a wall. No matter what I tried, I couldn't lose the weight. I joined a gym and started going consistently six days a week, while also signing up for Weight Watchers. I lost 20 pounds, but after that, I couldn't move the needle any further. My life was consumed with trying every method I could think of to lose weight, but I was stuck.
Then, last year, everything changed. My primary care doctor introduced me to Dr. Hameed, and it felt like a turning point. Dr. Hameed listened to me and understood how my body was working— or, more accurately, how it wasn’t working. My metabolism had slowed to a halt. I was pre-diabetic, and I worried about my future. But Dr. Hameed didn't make me feel like I wasn't doing enough. She was caring, empathetic, and empowering, and she didn’t just tell me to “work out more and eat less.” Instead, she explained the different components of weight loss—why my body wasn’t responding as it should—and gave me a plan to finally start seeing results.
Her weight loss program was different from anything I had tried before. Dr. Hameed didn’t just focus on one aspect of health. She educated me on how my body needed to function to lose weight and maintain a healthy balance. And for the first time, I felt like I had control over my own body again.
So far, I’ve lost about 60 pounds, and I feel incredible. I have more energy, my confidence is back, and I’m motivated to continue this journey. Most importantly, I feel mentally strong and focused, something I never thought I would experience again.
I cannot recommend Dr. Hameed enough. If it weren’t for her, I honestly don’t know where I’d be—physically or mentally—right now. She gave me the tools and support I needed to succeed, and for that, I’ll be forever grateful.

My experience with Dr. Hameed has been life changing for me. I've learned so much! It has allowed me to change my life style in regards to what and how I eat and the activity I make part of my daily routine. In one year, I have lost 55 lbs and feel amazing! Highly recommend if you just can't seem to lose the weight on your own.

Dr. Hameed right from the start was amazing. My experience with her has been nothing like interactions with other doctors. She never once made me feel like a lesser human because of my weight, and she listened to my struggles to come up with a plan to help overcome those obstacles. Absolutely would recommend her and the practice. It’s a truly personalized experience, and as someone who is already down 80 pounds after feeling like nothing was working/ever going to work it has been life changing.

Dr. Hameed has opened a door in my life, that for many years, I didn't believe was possible to open. When we met, I felt immediately at ease with her. She provides a judgement free zone, sets you up for success, and talks you through the available routes for weight loss. With her help, I've lost almost 70 pounds overall, 8 inches around my waist, and went from a size 14 pant to a size 6 in a little under a year. I'm back to the body that I had in college which is a goal that I never thought was possible. I highly recommend Weight Loss Physicians if you've tried everything else and need a helpful hand to finally reach your health goals.
