About This Clinician

This clinician is enumerated under Obesity Medicine, a Preventive Medicine subspecialty focused specifically on the medical management of obesity — including behavioral counseling, nutrition, and pharmacotherapy such as GLP-1 receptor agonists. Obesity-medicine specialists in Portland are among the practices most likely to actively manage GLP-1 prescribing, though this registry entry does not confirm current prescribing practices.

Locally, this is 1 of 1 Obesity Medicine (Preventive Medicine) practice in Portland carrying this exact taxonomy in our directory.

What to expect at an Obesity Medicine visit

A first visit at an obesity-medicine practice generally centers on a medical work-up rather than a quick prescription. In broad terms, patients often encounter:

  • •A weight and health history, BMI/body-composition review, and discussion of prior weight-loss attempts.
  • •A conversation about treatment options — lifestyle changes, and where appropriate anti-obesity medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide).
  • •Baseline labs (e.g. A1c, metabolic panel, lipids) to screen for diabetes and metabolic conditions before starting medication.
  • •A cost and coverage discussion, since many commercial plans limit obesity-only GLP-1 coverage and may require prior authorization.

This is general guidance for obesity medicine practices, not a description of Matija Burtis's specific protocol, services, or pricing. Confirm what a visit involves directly with the practice — 207-661-6064.
