Trying to lose weight on your own can be frustrating and ineffective – and even, in some cases, unhealthy. Losing weight with the help of a trained medical professional has shown to be the most effective way to make sustainable life changes. With the help of double-board-certified rheumatologist and internist Dr. Amarie Negron, you can develop a personalized treatment plan and see long-lasting, noticeable changes.
Weight Loss Medications
Dr. Negron specializes in obesity medicine and can help you explore the various cutting-edge weight loss medications available. We offer semaglutide and tirzepatide, two members of a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. They both work by introducing more of the hormone GLP-1, which is naturally involved in the digestive process. It’s responsible for, among other things, signaling fullness. With higher levels of this hormone, you’ll feel full faster and longer, allowing you to stick to your dietary goals.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide can be self-administered at home through a weekly injection. Both options have shown to be incredibly effective at reducing weight. Because they both were initially used to treat type 2 diabetes, they may be able to help lower your health markers at the same time. At the ARTIS Institute Dr. Negron can help you determine which option is best for your health and weight loss goals. She begins with an in depth medical consultation, laboratory and body composition analysis. After the initial evaluation she will help you decide which medication and dosage plan is best. She will also make diet and exercise recommendations to help you get on your way.

Emsculpt & EmsculptNEO
Although Emsculpt is a popular cosmetic treatment, it can be incredibly beneficial to your weight loss journey. Using electromagnetic stimulation, it can help build muscle faster and more effectively than what is possible at the gym. Building muscle is important as you lose weight, as it helps maintain a higher metabolism and prevents muscle loss as you slim down. You’ll be able to see results faster and enjoy a more balanced body composition and definition as you hit your goal weight.
Emsculpt treatments are completely pain-free and don’t require any incisions, needles, or anesthetic. You’ll simply relax in our treatment suite while the high-frequency electromagnetic energy stimulates muscle activity. Emsculpt is not a substitute for physical activity but can rather help you see better results from your workouts.
EmsculptNEO adds a whole different dimension to body contouring; by adding Radiofrequency (RF) Energy to the treatment. The additional energy optimizes your treatment in 2 ways – it helps to warm the muscle tissue to optimize the workout and utilizes different workout frequencies for muscle “confusion” which stimulates further muscle growth (up to 25. The 2nd way the RF energy works is through lipolysis or fat cell destruction ; that way you can reduce up to 30% fat in the area of treatment after a series of treatments.

“Dr. Sárraga is the best plastic surgeon that you can find.”
He listens, provides great advice and the end results are impeccable. His nurses and staff are truly helpful and always there for you as well. I highly recommend him to anyone considering surgery. You won’t regret it!
“General 17”
Dr. Franklin D Richards was BEYOND amazing! I can’t stress enough how great this whole experience has been. Not only did he make me feel comfortable in my body, but 10x more confident. His work is truly beautiful. 100% recommend!
“General 18”
I didn’t really know what to expect, but I could not have asked for a more positive experience for such a personal procedure. Dr. Keshav Magge and his team made me feel relaxed and assured from the first moment. He was thorough in explaining details of the procedure which made me more confident to move forward. The surgical team was exceptional in answering questions and helped me to relax. I slept through the procedure and once released a couple of hours later, I went home and slept more. NO PAIN. I had some mild discomfort, but nothing that required more than an occasional OTC Tylenol. Dr. Magge called later that afternoon to check on me and his primary nurse assistant also stayed in touch. The results speak for themselves and I have no regrets. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, don’t put it off any longer. And you will not do better than Dr. Magge; he’s wonderful!
