About Dr. John Roxborough IV

I am a board-certified family medicine physician dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal health through preventive care, metabolic medicine, and performance-focused healthcare. My practice takes a proactive approach to primary care, emphasizing early detection, lifestyle optimization, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's goals. I have completed advanced continuing medical education through Harvard Medical School in Sports Medicine and The Blackburn Course in Obesity Medicine, expanding my expertise in exercise medicine, metabolic health, evidence-based weight management, and healthy aging. In addition to comprehensive primary care, I have particular interests in men's health, sports and fitness medicine, and physician-guided medical weight loss. Many of the patients I serve are focused on improving energy, strength, body composition, cardiovascular health, and long-term performance. My goal is to help patients build sustainable habits while utilizing evidence-based medical therapies to support meaningful, lasting results. One of the core services offered in my practice is medical weight management, including the appropriate use of GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. When combined with nutrition, exercise, and behavioral interventions, these therapies can be powerful tools to improve metabolic health, reduce cardiovascular risk, and help prevent or manage conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver disease. I enjoy working with individuals who want to take an active role in their health—whether that means losing weight, improving fitness, optimizing hormonal and metabolic health, or maintaining vitality and peak performance throughout life. My approach is straightforward: listen carefully, treat the whole person, and develop realistic, sustainable plans grounded in sound medical evidence and personalized to each individual's needs.

Verified patient
The office was beautiful, the staff and doctor was thorough, and the overall experience had me feeling more in control of my health! Coming back here again!
Verified patient
Dr. Roxborough took his time understanding the reason for my visit and asked excellent questions about my health background. I also needed a specific referral, and by the time my visit ended, the referrals were made. I am relatively new to the area, and I am grateful to have found such a thoughtful, compassionate doctor.
I had a wonderful experience at this office! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly — they made me feel completely at ease. The facility was spotlessly clean and well-maintained throughout. The doctor was thorough and attentive, taking the time to carefully check all of my symptoms without rushing. I felt truly heard — every concern I brought up was listened to and addressed. The diagnosis was accurate and everything was explained clearly. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this provider to anyone looking for quality, compassionate care!

Verified patient
Dr. Roxborough is incredibly kind. He takes the time to listen to his patients and plan based on their individual health needs. I’d 100% recommend him to a friend!
The physician, like the medical and administrative staff I met during my visit, was exceptional. This was the most courteous and professional environment I’ve encountered and I also love their new office. The doctor takes him time getting to know you, makes it clear he cares about you knowing him, too, and makes you feel like he really cares about you and your health. I literally asked him questions for 30 minutes. My appointment lasted one hour and none of that time was spent waiting. The other members of the staff were exceptionally kind, courteous, professional, communicative, and efficient. I totally recommend this team!
Verified patient
The staff were friendly and informative. I had a question re: the location of the clinic and someone from the office got back to me quickly. Dr. Roxborough spent quite a bit of time with me discussing family histories and current symptoms. This was my first visit to a family doctor in a few years, but I left the appointment thinking if I continue seeing this doctor, and follow his advice, I will become healthier.
Verified patient
Excellent doctor and caring staff
Verified patient
I had been seeing a primary care doctor whose office is located inside a newly constructed hospital that was relocated from my hometown that did not want the hospital to expand nor the attendant traffic increase. It is a very large religion-related hospital corporation that does not have the will to pick up the telephone when a patient wants to return a doctor's call. The bored-sounding female robot repeats "your call is very important to us" before she says, "there are nine calls ahead of you." I wanted to make a change in my medication. I could not book an appointment less than 90 days ahead of time. So, the new doctor runs his own clinic and would see me now instead of later. The hospital is run like a business instead of like a calling. Just what the financiers dreamed of.
Verified patient
This was my first time coming to see Dr. ROXBOROUGH and he was simply amazing! I felt so good from the minute I walked into office. The staff is great and knowledgeable. The doctor spent the time with me and didn’t feel rushed. The office has the capacity of performing all the tests there. I loved it and will make this my doctor. Happy to know that I don’t need to look for a doctor anymore.
Verified patient
Definitely motivational!and a good listener!
Verified patient
Great experience with this office and doctor! I had actually mixed up dates and was there a week early! They were super flexible and quick to make it work that same day!! And I really appreciated as my job is very strict on appointments. The doctor was great! Really great to talk to a doctor and feel heard and get feedback on my health and choices. The staff was super nice and friendly.
