FAMILY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN
Feroza Patel, DO
As a physician, treating overweight and obesity are deeply personal to me, considering my own family’s history. Witnessing my mother’s struggle with weight and losing her to a stroke at a young age has ignited my passion for weight loss. Beyond obesity and overweight's association with numerous chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it also diminishes quality of life, exacerbates mental health struggles, and increases healthcare costs. I aim to empower individuals to lead healthier lives and prevent debilitating complications. Before medical school I taught chemistry and biochemistry at CSU Dominguez Hills. I completed medical school at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in New Jersey. I completed my family medicine residency at Good Samaritan Hospital Family Medicine Residency in Pennsylvania. In addition, I have worked as family medicine residency faculty, where I trained future family medicine physicians while also practicing outpatient family medicine and hospital medicine. Going through all these experiences allow me to tailor weight management for each individual rather than use a cookie cutter approach and help me to challenge conventional diets while also being sensitive to ethnic and other dietary constraints.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California. My family and I have struggled with obesity for generations and I watched obesity and it’s complications lead to disability in my family and that has inspired me to use my skills as a licensed physician to target what I see as the number one health crisis in America; the Obesity epidemic. I graduated medical school from Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in New Jersey and completed family medicine residency at Good Samaritan Hospital Family Medicine Residency in Pennsylvania. I have worked in outpatient, inpatient, and academic medicine, so I understand first hand how hard losing weight and maintaining weight loss is and will use all the tools at my disposal to help you reach your goals.
