Medical Weight Loss in Margate City, NJ

A Doctor-Led Practice

A Physician-Run Weight Loss Program at the Jersey Shore

Our Medical Weight Loss Program is offered at our Margate City office, 7813 Atlantic Ave, Margate City, NJ 08402, for patients across Atlantic County and the Jersey Shore. It is led by Dr. Joseph Castelli, DO, who personally evaluates every patient and supervises every plan.

This is medicine, not a subscription box: your program at the Margate City office begins with a medical evaluation and continues with scheduled follow-ups, dose adjustments, and a physician who knows your history.

Dr. Joseph Castelli with a patient at the practice

A Doctor-Led Practice at the Jersey Shore

Our Margate City office is a doctor’s office, not a med spa chain. It is part of the practice led by Dr. John Lee, MD, FACS, a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained oculofacial plastic surgeon who has performed more than 12,000 eyelid surgeries.

The weight loss program is run by a physician from the first visit to the last. Dr. Joseph Castelli, DO, evaluates every patient himself, chooses the medication, adjusts the dose and follows your progress at the Margate City office, so the person prescribing is the person who knows your history.

What the Program Includes

A comprehensive medical evaluation and health history review
Physician selection of the right GLP-1 medication for you
Structured dose titration and ongoing medical monitoring
Nutrition and lifestyle guidance that makes results durable

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

Semaglutide is a once-weekly GLP-1 medication that reduces appetite. Tirzepatide combines GLP-1 and GIP action in one once-weekly injection. In large clinical trials, patients on semaglutide averaged roughly 15% body-weight loss and patients on tirzepatide averaged roughly 20% at the highest doses, alongside lifestyle changes. Results vary by medication, dose and adherence, and Dr. Castelli will set realistic expectations for your plan.

Who Is a Candidate?

Adults who have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone are often excellent candidates. Some medical histories require extra caution, which is exactly why the program is physician-run: candidacy is a medical decision made with Dr. Castelli at your evaluation.
