Unlike commercial diet programs, Momentum Weight Loss PLLC provides physician-directed medical treatment grounded in clinical evidence. We address obesity as a chronic medical condition, not a character flaw, with compassion, expertise, and proven results.
Our protocols are grounded in peer-reviewed research and FDA-approved medications, ensuring safety and efficacy.
Advanced prescription medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, are carefully selected and monitored based on your individual metabolic profile and health history. Each medication is prescribed with rigorous safety protocols and regular laboratory monitoring to ensure optimal results and minimize side effects. Our physician adjusts your treatment plan as needed to maximize effectiveness and your comfort throughout the process.


We create realistic, sustainable movement plans that respect your current fitness level and any physical limitations you may have. Our activity counseling focuses on progressive, joint-friendly exercises that build strength and endurance over time. Rather than pushing extreme fitness goals, we emphasize consistency and enjoyment to ensure long-term adherence and success.
We provide personalized nutrition guidance that focuses on nourishing your body with whole foods and sustainable eating patterns. We reject restrictive, unsustainable diets in favor of evidence-based approaches that optimize metabolic health and support your weight loss goals. Your nutrition plan is tailored to your preferences, lifestyle, and medical needs to ensure lasting behavioral change.

Experienced, compassionate healthcare professional dedicated to your success.
Meet the Founder: From Hospital Medicine to Momentum Weight Loss PLLC
Welcome! I am thrilled to introduce myself and share the journey that led to the founding of Momentum Weight Loss PLLC. My career has been defined by a deep commitment to patient care and a passion for evolving alongside the needs of my community.
Roots and Education
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I began my academic journey at California State University, Los Angeles, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2006. My pursuit of medicine then took me to the desert heat of Midwestern University in Phoenix, Arizona. It was there that I earned my medical degree in 2011 and, more importantly, met my wife, Archana.
Clinical Foundations
After graduating from medical school, I moved to the East Coast to complete my Internal Medicine residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, finishing in 2014. Following a year spent serving as a hospitalist in Reston, Virginia, my wife and I decided to make Houston, Texas, our permanent home.
For nearly a decade (2015–2023), I served as a hospitalist within the Memorial Hermann system, managing complex acute cases and helping patients navigate their most challenging health crises. This experience provided me with a profound understanding of how chronic conditions impact long-term wellness.
A New Direction: Momentum Weight Loss
In 2023, I transitioned into outpatient care within an occupational medicine role. This shift allowed me the time and focus to pursue Obesity Medicine.
I believe that weight management is the cornerstone of preventative health. After dedicated study, I became Board Certified in Obesity Medicine in December 2025. This certification was the final piece of the puzzle, allowing me to open Momentum Weight Loss PLLC.
My Mission
My goal is to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and sustainable lifestyle transformation. At Momentum, I don’t just look at numbers, I look at the person. I am excited to bring my years of internal medicine experience to a specialized setting where I can help you build the "Momentum" needed for a healthier, more vibrant life.
Welcome to the clinic. Let’s start this journey together.
