Introducing Dr. Pardis Poorzand
I'm Dr. Pardis Poorzand — an Internal Medicine physician with over ten years of experience helping patients understand, prevent, and treat complex chronic conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. My approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms or prescribing medications. During our first visit, I take the time to truly understand your full medical history, your lifestyle, and your goals — because I believe lasting health comes from addressing root causes, not just treating what's on the surface. I'm particularly passionate about combining innovative treatments like GLP-1 therapy with personalized nutrition, realistic physical activity, and sustainable lifestyle changes. My goal is simple: to help you feel better, live better, and achieve results that actually last.

What Dr. Poorzand Covers in Your First Visit

✓
Lab Work Review & New Orders
Existing labs are reviewed and interpreted in the context of your weight loss goals. If additional testing is needed — such as thyroid function, metabolic panel, or hormone levels — Dr. Poorzand will order them as part of your personalized plan.
🥗
Detailed Diet & Lifestyle Assessment
A thorough review of your current eating habits, activity level, sleep, and stress — because sustainable weight loss requires a plan that fits your real life, not an idealized version of it.
📊
DEXA Scan Interpretation (if applicable)
If you have had a recent DEXA body composition scan, Dr. Poorzand will review your results in detail — including muscle mass, visceral fat levels, bone density, and metabolic baseline — and explain exactly what they mean for your health.
💊
GLP-1 Therapy Discussion
If GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy, Zepbound, Oral Wegovy, or Foundayo are appropriate for you, Dr. Poorzand will explain your options, expected results, side effects, and which medication best fits your health profile and lifestyle preferences.
