Losing weight is hard. Keeping it off is harder. At Millennium Park Medical Associates, we approach weight loss as a medical condition, not a willpower problem, and treat it with the same clinical rigor we apply to diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Because in most cases, they're all connected.
Our Chicago Loop practice offers physician-supervised weight-loss programs that combine FDA-approved medications, metabolic evaluation, and ongoing provider support. Whether you've struggled with diets that don't stick or you're exploring GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide for the first time, our internal medicine team builds a plan around your health, not just a number on the scale.
We Start With Your Health, Not Your Weight — Before prescribing anything, our team conducts a comprehensive medical workup, including metabolic panels, thyroid function tests, hormone levels, and screening for conditions that may be causing or contributing to weight gain. Many patients discover that an underlying issue has been working against them for years.
Your Medications Are Managed by Internal Medicine Providers — GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) require medical oversight, especially for patients managing other conditions. Our team monitors your response, adjusts dosages, and watches for interactions with existing medications — something most med spas and telehealth prescribers don't offer.
We Treat What Weight Loss Improves — As an internal medicine practice, we manage the chronic conditions that are directly tied to excess weight. When your blood pressure drops, your blood sugar stabilizes, or your cholesterol improves as you lose weight, our team adjusts your treatment plan in real time rather than sending you to a separate provider.
You Get Consistent Follow-Up, Not a Prescription and a Send-Off — Regular check-ins track your progress, address plateaus, manage side effects, and keep you accountable. Weight loss is not a one-appointment solution, and our program is built for the long haul.
Medical weight loss is not just for people who want to look different. It's a clinical intervention for patients whose weight is actively affecting their health or putting them at risk for serious disease.
Patients With Obesity-Related Conditions — If you're managing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, or fatty liver disease, even moderate weight loss of 5 to 10 percent of body weight can produce measurable improvements in lab values and symptom severity.
Patients Who Haven't Responded to Diet and Exercise Alone — Metabolic factors, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, and certain medications can make weight loss nearly impossible through lifestyle changes alone. Medical evaluation identifies these barriers so treatment can address them directly.
Patients on Multiple Medications — Excess weight often requires more aggressive medication regimens for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Losing weight can reduce or eliminate the need for some of these medications over time, lowering both side effects and long-term health risks.
Patients Preparing for Surgery or Managing Joint Pain — Surgeons frequently recommend weight loss before joint replacement or other procedures. Reducing excess weight also decreases the four-to-one pressure ratio on your knees and hips, improving mobility and reducing pain.
Patients throughout Chicago's Loop and surrounding neighborhoods choose our practice for personalized attention and quality care that fits their lives. Dr. Farah Khan combines over 20 years of internal medicine experience with a genuine commitment to listening, clear communication, and treatment plans that actually work.
Whether you need routine primary care, chronic disease management, or our aesthetic and wellness services, you'll experience thorough, unhurried care from a team that knows you by name, not just your chart number.
Yes. Our Loop location at 30 S Michigan Ave, Ste 500 is accepting new patients for medical weight loss consultations. Call (312) 977-1185 to schedule, or request an appointment online.
In most cases, yes, but medical oversight is essential. GLP-1 medications can interact with certain diabetes drugs, blood thinners, and other prescriptions. Our internal medicine team reviews your full medication list and monitors for interactions throughout treatment, a level of oversight that telehealth prescribers and med spas typically don't provide.
