The Rivas location in Ellicott City is so cozy and welcoming! Gabrielle and JC check you in and out with a smile. Ada records your vital and always has a kind word. Either Dr. B. or Kelsey gives you guidance, motivation and empathy. I have been going for 13 months. I have lost over 50 lbs. I am at my goal weight, and look forward to maintenance! Thanks Rivas!!!

I highly recommend Rivas Medical Weight Loss - not only for the effective weight loss I experienced years ago, but also for their Exomind equipment that I just tried! I'm 70 yrs. old and have been struggling with dealing with my son's rare form of cancer that the oncologists don't seem to know what to do with as well as helping to run a martial arts school that we both own and run together. And then there was just the general stress and tension that exists within our country right now added on top of everything else. At any rate, I was not only not getting good sleep, I was becoming a very angry driver as a result of all the stress and I didn't like that side of myself! Even after the first Exomind treatment (there are 4 total and then single follow-ups about 3 months apart), I felt a TREMENDOUS difference in my mood, calmness, my driving and my handling of various situations that can be stressful! It's been more than a week since I finished the 4th session and the effects are lasting! I am so relieved! In addition, my sleep seems to have improved and I lost 5 lbs after just the first session because I don't have the food cravings that I was having before I tried it! With all the stress and tension in the world today, this is a life changer! I highly recommend Exomind treatments!!

I have lost 50 pounds through my journey with Rivas Medical Center. The Physician Assistants and the front desk receptionist and medical assistant are truly the best at the Rockville office and so supportive. I highly recommend them and would not be where I am on my weight loss journey to better health without them.

FAQ

From what our patients share, results can start early—some notice a 5-pound drop after the very first injection. Others say they don’t see much movement until 6–8 weeks into treatment. Everyone’s journey is different. By starting low and increasing the dose gradually, we aim to keep side effects minimal and progress sustainable.

Everyone’s journey is different. By starting low and increasing the dose gradually, we aim to keep side effects minimal and progress sustainable.

Our patients find Tirzepatide especially helpful when they’re looking for a long-term solution or need to lose more than 10–15 pounds.
However, Tirzepatide is not recommended if you have any of the following:

  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Type 2 diabetes and are already taking a GLP-1 medication
  • History of pancreatitis
  • Chronic kidney disease (unless cleared by your nephrologist)
  • Currently pregnantnursing, or trying to become pregnant

If you have medical conditions not listed here, you may still be a candidate for Phentermine, which can be an effective alternative.

Our patients often mention brief moments of nausea, changes in digestion like constipation or diarrhea, and feeling more tired than usual. Many have also noticed a reduced desire for alcohol.
Our team works with you to manage these symptoms and provide a positive experience throughout your treatment.

Yes, unlike vaccines or many other shots you may think of, this injection is done with a tiny needle that only goes under the skin, not into muscle. Patients often don’t realize we already gave the shot.

We do not process any insurance. Unfortunately, most insurance companies refuse to cover medical weight loss, but we are happy to provide invoices for reimbursement if your insurance does. Some patients are able to get reimbursed for the visit.

Home Injection Instructions


Patients meet with a provider weekly to receive their injection. If you are traveling or at a maintenance dose, you have the option to take injections home and do it yourself. Below are instructions for injecting the medication at home.

Lose weight – Feel Great – No Contract

Tirzepatide is part of a newer class of medications being used in medical weight management under the supervision of licensed providers. At Rivas Medical Weight Loss, we offer Tirzepatide sourced from U.S.-based 503A licensed compounding pharmacies and FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities.

Our program is designed to offer thoughtful, individualized care—whether you’re new to treatment or have struggled with weight management in the past. Some patients may begin treatment at their first visit, based on clinical evaluation and provider judgment. While individual experiences vary, our team provides consistent oversight and support every step of the way.
