Clinical rigor for a complex disease


Obesity medicine is entering its most consequential chapter. With price-accessible incretins reshaping the landscape, the question is no longer who can access these medications — it's who has the clinical expertise to deploy them effectively and the infrastructure to sustain results.

I'm a board-certified obesity medicine physician, the Cofounder and Chief Medical Officer of Accomplish Health, and faculty at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. At Accomplish, we built a fully virtual, insurance-covered obesity care model that combines medical expertise, FDA-approved treatments, personalized nutrition coaching, and connected technology. Our average outcomes exceed 20% total body weight loss at 12 months across four published cohorts.

My consulting practice focuses on real-world implementation: program design, clinical protocol development, provider education, and outcomes strategy for organizations navigating the transition from Era 1 to Era 2 of obesity pharmacotherapy.
