Dr. Angela Fitch, MD

Dr. Angela Fitch, MD

Bariatric Physician
15 Oak St, 2nd Fl, Needham, MA
When I was a barely-twenty-something at Iowa State, computer-modeling human metabolism back in the early days of programming, I had no way of knowing that I was then flirting with what would later become the great passion of my professional life. I lost sight of it briefly, but when I found my way back, I was ready for its ardent embrace. A short stint in the private sector post-graduation as a product engineer at Procter & Gamble reminded me that my heart was elsewhere; I wanted to help people in a hands-on way. So I went to medical school. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and stayed for a twinned residency in internal medicine and pediatrics, before moving on to the Twin Cities to practice primary care. It was there, at the University of Minnesota, while treating children with obesity, that I came face-to-face with my true passion again. My total commitment to obesity medicine followed soon after. I became the medical director for the Metabolic Health and Weight Management Clinic at Park Nicollet and ultimately moved back to Cincinnati to create a multidisciplinary medical-surgical weight center at my alma mater. I’ve been practicing medicine for about twenty-five years now, and happily practicing obesity medicine and metabolic health full-time for the past ten. On reflection, it makes sense that I’d come home to obesity medicine through pediatrics. During childhood, I’d witnessed my brother have obesity. I still see him deal with this disease every day, well into adulthood. As for me, I was comparatively lucky: my struggle with weight showed up later—once I’d had a child and my work-life balance went stressfully out of wack. I developed sleep apnea and hypertension as a result and knew that, for myself and for my body (and may not be true for all), I needed to lose weight for my health. I already ate well and I exercised often, but I increased my focus on improving my lifestyle habits.
