More about Dr. Hasan Syed, MD

Hasan Syed, MD is a physician and surgeon who completed medical school at Virginia Commonwealth University and completed residency at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and a fellowship at Northwestern University’s Ann & Robert H. Lurie Hospital of Chicago. He has a special interest in obesity medicine which his practice centers around, specifically for men struggling with weight loss. He has held multiple high-level clinical and academic positions in well-known hospitals and health systems, such as being a professor of medicine at the University of Virginia and a professor of Medicine at the George Washington University Hospital/Children’s National Hospital. Currently, he also serves as a medical director for Alfie, a telehealth clinic focused on men’s weight loss. He is published in over 30 peer-reviewed articles, has written nearly 20 academic book chapters, and has presented research at conferences over 50 times. Dr. Syed is known to be compassionate and understanding in his work, where his repeat patients consider him to be someone who can work with them on a personal level to achieve long-term and seemingly intangible goals, such as losing significant weight. He also understands the unique psychology for men trying to lose weight, who often have different motivations and needs from women – he uses his knowledge to best serve his patients to give great results. Patients lose an average of 15% of their weight if fully eligible for treatment and medications. He helps patients holistically understand their current weight gain through the patient's history of weight loss, a full metabolic review to know biological drivers of weight gain, and prescribes powerful but extremely safe medicines like Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, and other GLP-1 medications if eligible. Through Alfie, the digital telehealth clinic that he serves as a medical director for, he can refer his patients to male health coaches and group sessions for accountability and nutrition.
