Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is about far more than just a number on a scale—it is the foundation of long-term metabolic health. At Greer Family Medicine, Dr. Lester Barrouk, FNP, provides a comprehensive, medically supervised approach to weight management that focuses on treating the root causes of weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and metabolic slowdown. By looking at the complete picture of your health, we create customized plans designed to help you shed weight safely, boost your energy, and reduce inflammation.

​

Dr. Lester utilizes in-depth lab work to analyze key metabolic markers, including blood sugar levels, thyroid function, and lipid panels. With these insights, we tailor make a strategy that combines lifestyle adjustments and sustainable diet changes along with cutting-edge medical treatments. We proudly offer advanced GLP-1 therapies (such as the medications found in Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Zepbound®) to effectively manage appetite and optimize your body’s natural metabolic processes, and Dr. Lester helps guide you through the process to minimize side effects and maximize effectiveness.

​

We believe that high-quality healthcare should also be accessible. If your health insurance refuses to cover name-brand GLP-1 medications, Dr. Lester will work closely with you to find affordable alternatives. We partner with local, trusted 503A compounding pharmacies to prescribe high-quality, compounded variations of these effective therapies at a fraction of the retail cost. No matter where you are on your wellness journey, we are here to provide the continuous support, medical expertise, and tools you need to reach your permanent weight loss goals.
