About Alexis David, MD
I have always had a passion for the prevention of disease, wellness, and helping people with their weight. But during my first 13 years in clinical practice as a family medicine physician, I kept running into a stubborn problem. Even when people were eating healthy and exercising, and trying their absolute hardest, they still couldn’t lose weight no matter what they did.
Digging deeper and finding my way to the rising field of Obesity Medicine led me to discovering that excess weight is not a personal failure, or simply a matter of eating less. It is a real, treatable disease that needed deeper care and had deeper causes that were unique to each person.
I soon found myself more and more passionate about helping those who struggle with their weight get the treatment and attention they deserve. So in 2018 I followed my passion, became a board certified specialist in Obesity Medicine and founded Premier Medical Weight Management to focus on obesity treatment fully.
The more I focused on Obesity Medicine as a physician, the more I felt it was a something that deserved my dedication.
The people I’m helping often have nowhere left to turn. And the results have been so rewarding to see time and time again.
As I see the arrival of more effective obesity medications, I’m further inspired by how they are opening new tools to help my patients on their journeys to losing weight and gaining health. But it’s not enough to simply slap a prescription in their hands. It’s the integrative, personalized approach that really matters as we work together as a team.
I pride myself on forming strong patient relationships. By listening and learning about what makes each individual unique, I can better help them treat and manage their health conditions. Through regular visits, we’re able to celebrate the good weeks, and work through their struggles during the more challenging weeks. It is during the difficult weeks that our visits are most valuable to help guide them through and continue their progress.

I am excited to help you on your weight loss journey!
