Weight loss medications are everywhere right now — online pharmacies, med spas, social media ads. But most people taking them have never had a real conversation with a doctor about the risks, the right dosage, or what happens when they stop. Dr. Dubroff does this differently. Every patient gets a full evaluation, honest guidance on which program fits their body and goals, and ongoing monitoring to make sure it's working safely.
Crash diets. Gym memberships that go unused. Maybe even a weight loss medication you ordered online that made you feel terrible. Or one that worked — until you stopped taking it and gained everything back in three months.
The weight loss industry is full of products that promise results without context. GLP-1 medications like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are genuinely effective — but they're being handed out online without anyone explaining the muscle mass loss, the rebound risk, or the medications you can't combine them with. HCG is one of the most proven rapid weight loss protocols available, but done wrong it can cause real harm. GHRH peptide therapy is barely understood by most prescribing doctors.
Dr. Dubroff has been doing this for over 20 years. He will tell you the truth about what each program does, what the risks are, and which one is actually right for you — even if that means talking you out of the one you came in asking for.
"This was by far the easiest and most coventiant weight loss program I have completed. Dr. Dubroff made me feel like he was more interested in my success."

Dr. Dubroff offers three medically supervised weight loss programs. Each works differently, suits different patients, and comes with different considerations. Here's a plain-language overview of each — and below, a simple guide to help you figure out which one might be right for you.
The most powerful appetite suppression available — with proper medical supervision.
Significantly reduces appetite and food cravings
Clinically proven weight loss — often 15–20% of body weight
Dr. Dubroff monitors muscle mass, manages side effects, and counsels on safe use
Not the same as online GLP-1 products — this is supervised, personalized care
Best for: patients with significant weight to lose who want fast, measurable results with medical oversight
Starting at $150 a month for consultations + cost of medicine
Consists of 2 scheduled appointments a month
Will help to learn how to keep the weight off
We can provide GLP-1's starting at $440 for 3 months of 4.25mg doses.
The most affordable program — with over 3,000 successful treatments and counting.
Rapid, significant weight loss — patients often lose 20–30+ lbs per round
Done over 3,000 times by Dr. Dubroff with strong outcomes
Supplemented with vitamin injections to support liver function and energy
Lowest cost of the three programs
Not suitable for patients with personal or family history of kidney stones, or unmanaged hypertension/insulin dependence
Best for: patients who want fast results at the lowest price point and have been medically cleared
Starting at $550 for initial cycle (40+ days per cycle). $440 each cycle after.
This includes around the clock contact
MIC injections starting at $230
The safest hormonal weight loss approach — works with your body's own signals.
Uses Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone analogs — mimics the body's natural hormone rather than replacing it
Supports fat loss while preserving and building lean muscle mass
Gentlest of the three programs — well tolerated with minimal side effects
Hormonal treatments are always safer when they work with the body's own systems
Best for: patients who want gradual, sustainable fat loss and improved body composition without aggressive appetite suppression
Starting at $200 to start program + cost of medication.
Medication starts at $225.
Answer these three questions and Dr. Dubroff will help you figure it out — or use the guide below to get a starting point before your free consultation.
Not sure? That's exactly what the free consultation is for. Dr. Dubroff will review your health history, current medications, and goals — and give you an honest recommendation, not a sales pitch.
Step 1 — Free Consultation
Dr. Dubroff reviews your health history, current medications, weight loss goals, and any previous attempts. He recommends the program most likely to work for your specific situation — and rules out any that could be unsafe for you.
Step 2 — Personalized Program at Your Home
Your first appointment is two full hours. Dr. Dubroff comes to you, walks through your complete plan, answers every question, and gets you started. He doesn't rush through it — you leave knowing exactly what you're doing and why.
Step 3 — Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Weight loss requires adjustments along the way. Dr. Dubroff monitors your progress, watches for side effects, adjusts dosing when needed, and is available for follow-up calls on anything already discussed — always free. He's invested in your outcome, not just your initial appointment.
GLP-1 medications are available from dozens of online pharmacies right now — no doctor visit, no monitoring, no questions asked. And for some people, that seems easier. But Dr. Dubroff has a warning for anyone going that route.
Muscle Mass Loss Is Real — and Most Online Providers Don't Tell You
GLP-1 medications suppress appetite so effectively that many patients dramatically reduce their food intake — including protein. Without proper guidance, patients lose significant muscle mass alongside fat. Muscle is your primary metabolic tissue. Lose enough of it and you'll be worse off metabolically than when you started, making future weight loss harder and weight regain nearly inevitable when you stop the medication.
You May Not Be Told What You Can't Combine With These Drugs
Certain medications, supplements, and health conditions interact dangerously with GLP-1 drugs. Patients with a family history of certain cancers, thyroid conditions, or on specific medications need to know this before they start. Online providers rarely screen for these contraindications thoroughly.
The Rebound Problem Is Preventable — With the Right Approach
The reason so many people gain weight back after stopping GLP-1 medications is that their appetite has been completely suppressed for months — meaning they've never rebuilt a healthy relationship with food or addressed the underlying metabolic factors. Dr. Dubroff's approach addresses all of this, not just the prescription.
"I've ordered HCG from Dr. Joe Dubroff several times and my results have been great. He's very responsive when you need to talk to him and can help guide you through the process. I'm on my final round to lose the last 15lbs of baby weight and cannot thank Dr. Joe enough for his help."
