Meet Your Physician

Dr. Rachel Conley, MD

Board Certified Internal Medicine • Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine

Dr. Conley grew up in a small town where a primary care physician still made house calls, the kind of doctor who knew patients as people, not numbers. That relationship-based approach is what inspired her to become a physician.

After years practicing primary care and treating diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, depression, and arthritis, Dr. Conley saw how often weight was the root driver behind worsening health, and how hard it was for patients to truly reverse course without specialized support.

In 2018, Dr. Conley purchased Rochester Medical Weight Loss and built a comprehensive program designed to address the many factors that contribute to weight gain and regain.

Relationship-Based Care

You are supported, but Dr. Conley is your main provider.

Most patients primarily see Dr. Conley. She is supported by a small, experienced team, including nurses and wellness coordinators, who help keep your care organized and consistent through scheduling, accountability, education, and follow-up support.

Why Our Approach Is Different

Not an app. Not a subscription. Not a quick prescription.

Online platforms can make obesity treatment feel like a quick purchase: answer a few questions, get a prescription, and figure out the rest yourself. Rochester Medical Weight Loss is different.

Medical expertise

Real evaluation, monitoring, and appropriate prescribing when medication is part of the plan.

Multiple nutrition options

Real food, meal replacements, education, and structured support when needed.

Progress beyond the scale

Body composition tracking helps guide decisions with measurable trends, not guesswork.

Accountability + maintenance

Sustainable results come from the right tools plus the right support over time.

What to Expect When You Start

Your plan begins with a true medical foundation.

All programs begin with a comprehensive baseline so we can personalize safely and intelligently.

  • Complete physical exam and vitals
  • EKG
  • Bloodwork
  • Baseline body composition analysis for fat, muscle, and body water

Then we track progress over time so we can adjust your plan based on measurable trends, not guesswork.

Why obesity requires medical expertise

Obesity is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, yet relatively few physicians receive specialized training in obesity medicine.

This short video explains why expert, physician-guided care matters, and why medical weight loss should include more than a quick prescription or a one-size-fits-all plan.
