Physician-Supervised Weight Loss in Orange County Since 1968

A Legacy of Medical Weight Loss

Soboba Medical Weight Loss was founded in 1968 — at a time when physician-supervised weight loss was still a novel concept and most diet programs offered no medical oversight whatsoever. Our founders believed then, as we believe now, that lasting weight loss requires a physician in the room: someone who understands your medical history, monitors your progress, makes adjustments when needed, and treats you as a patient rather than a customer.

More than 55 years later, that philosophy has never changed. We have supervised thousands of weight loss programs across Orange County — through the evolution of the HCG protocol, the introduction of GLP-1 receptor agonists, and every development in obesity medicine in between. Our physicians have the clinical depth that comes only from decades of direct patient care in this specialty.

Today, Soboba operates three locations across Orange County: Newport Beach, Laguna Hills, and Rancho Santa Margarita. Each location is staffed by experienced physicians who are committed to the same standard of care our patients have come to expect since 1968 — thorough evaluations, personalized programs, ongoing monitoring, and the kind of physician relationship that produces real, lasting results.

What Makes Soboba Different

Our Physician Team

Every Soboba program is supervised by licensed physicians with extensive experience in medical weight loss and obesity medicine. Our physicians do not simply review labs and sign prescriptions — they evaluate each patient individually, conduct thorough initial consultations, build personalized treatment plans, and remain actively involved through every check-in of your program.

Our team has collectively supervised thousands of weight loss programs using the full spectrum of approaches available in modern obesity medicine — from the HCG protocol and lipotropic injections to GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Mounjaro, prescription appetite suppressants, and B vitamin injection therapy. That depth of experience means your program is built on evidence, not guesswork.

At your first visit — which is completely free — you will meet directly with a Soboba physician, not a health coach or intake coordinator. Your physician will review your full medical history, current medications, lab work if indicated, and weight loss goals before recommending a program. That standard of care applies from your first appointment through your last.
