Telemedicine Weight Loss with Dr. Richard Lipman

Online doctor weight loss, or more formally, Telehealth Medical Weight Loss, enables you to achieve measurable results with a doctor’s guidance.

This includes medical evaluation, medically guided proven diet plans, and prescription medication when appropriate. This involves online weight loss prescriptions based on body mass index including Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) prescriptions. Older medications, such as phentermine prescription drugs, are available based on patient need.

Advantages of Telemedicine Weight Loss from Dr. Lipman

Online Doctor Weight Loss

Using a private and secure portal, Dr. Lipman conducts a face to face virtual office encounter with patients desiring to lose weight. Three features of his online weight loss clinic make it equal or even superior to a personal office visit:

Screen Sharing

Dr. Lipman’s telemedicine weight loss visits provide not only the ability for Dr. Lipman and you to see each other but also permits you both to share your computer screen. This allows Dr. Lipman to share PowerPoint presentations,  weight loss videos, and images with you. All of Dr. Lipman’s weight loss plans, food menus, medication instructions, diet products and shopping lists have been converted to this format and can be shared with the patient in real-time. The patient can take screen shots of the food menus, medication information as they are presented. The patient can even download them from the accompanying Weight Loss App.

This takes doctor-patient interaction far beyond the simple face-to-face meeting of earlier telemedicine visits, which were not much better than a phone call. You can share recent laboratory tests, a list of medications, and even previous medical reports from your PCP with Dr. Lipman. These virtual weight loss doctor visits occur in real-time. You can use a smartphone, tablet, or even better, the large screen of a laptop or desktop computer. Issues such as food cravings and nite eating are discussed.

Going one step further, Dr. Lipman’s Telemedicine Weight Loss visits can be recorded in their entirety by simply clicking “RECORD THIS MEETING” on the bottom of the screen. That means you can save a complete copy of the meeting as a video file on your phone, tablet, or hard drive – or it can be stored in the cloud for future reference.

Not the Usual Online Diet Plans!

Many prospective patients are very leery that an online doctor weight loss plan can be as successful as a traditional face-to-face medical encounter. They expect that the information will be a generic “YouTube lecture” intended for someone casually seeking to lose weight, followed by a series of standard recipes, menus, and shopping lists to download. Every viewer would see the same images and data, and follow the same plan. That’s not the case with Dr. Lipman’s online weight loss clinic! Its based on your medical history, previous medications and food preferences.

Dr. Lipman’s Diet App Guides You on Your Diet Journey
