Medical Weight Loss Clinic Near Annandale, VA

BeLite Medical Center is a physician-supervised weight loss practice in the City of Fairfax, about 8 miles west of Annandale. BeLite has been treating weight loss since 1995, and our Fairfax office has served patients from Annandale and across Northern Virginia since 1996. Your first consultation is free.

Where is BeLite in relation to Annandale?

We are at 3923 Blenheim Blvd, Suite 61A, Fairfax, VA 22030, just south of Fairfax Circle. Free parking is available at the office park.

Driving from Annandale: Take Little River Turnpike (Route 236) west for about five miles, continuing as it becomes Main Street in the City of Fairfax. Turn right onto Chain Bridge Road (Route 123) north, then right onto Fairfax Boulevard (Route 50) east toward Fairfax Circle. At Fairfax Circle, follow the signs onto Blenheim Boulevard south (formerly Old Lee Highway) and continue to 3923 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 61A.

If Route 236 is backed up: take I-495 north to Route 50 (Arlington Boulevard) west, and stay on Route 50 to Fairfax Circle, then Blenheim Boulevard south. It is a longer distance but usually the faster of the two in rush hour.

Estimated driving time: approximately 20–25 minutes from central Annandale, depending on traffic.

By Metro: Annandale has no Metro station of its own, and reaching us by rail means driving to a station first — so nearly all of our Annandale patients drive the whole way. If you do want to use Metro, Dunn Loring–Merrifield is the closest station, about four miles north. From there, take the Orange Line toward Vienna and exit at Vienna/Fairfax–GMU, the final stop, then take a taxi or rideshare to 3923 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 61A.

What does the program involve?

BeLite specializes in the pharmacotherapy of obesity: prescription medications that reduce hunger and cravings, combined with a nutrition plan, exercise guidance, and close medical supervision. Because these are serious medications, patients are seen by a medical practitioner at least every four to five weeks to monitor progress, check for side effects, and adjust treatment.

We treat people who are healthy and overweight as well as people with significant medical problems. There are no contracts. If you come for a consultation and decide not to enroll, you pay nothing.

Which medications does BeLite prescribe?

Depending on your medical history and goals, your practitioner may recommend:

• Zepbound (tirzepatide)
• Wegovy (semaglutide)
• Phentermine
• Oral GLP-1 medications: Foundayo (orforglipron) and the Wegovy pill

Selected medications can be dispensed at our on-site pharmacy, so some patients, if they choose to, can leave their appointment with their prescriptions in hand. See the full list on our medications page.

Also available at BeLite

Alongside weight management, BeLite offers Xeomin — an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injection that smooths frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. It is the same class of treatment as Botox, with comparable effectiveness and duration; BeLite chose Xeomin because its formulation contains only the active molecule, without the accessory proteins that may contribute to resistance over years of use. Treatments are given by a certified physician assistant or board-certified nurse practitioner. Results appear over three to seven days and last three to four months, with no downtime, and the consultation is free.

Who provides the care?

Appointments are with Board Certified Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioners who specialize in weight loss medications, under the supervision of our Medical Director, Richard Rothman, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Rothman is a Board Certified Psychiatrist with a doctorate in pharmacology and extensive publications on the pharmacotherapy of obesity. Meet our medical providers.

Are appointments in person or virtual?

Your first visit is in person at our Fairfax office. We believe in-person care produces better results, and it is how we start every patient. Virtual follow-up visits may be offered to stable patients when approved by our Medical Director. Read why we favor in-person care.

What do patients say?

“I love having the monthly check-ins, the convenience of the on-site pharmacy, and the friendly staff.”

Eating, Walking and Training in Annandale

Two parts of the program happen between appointments: how you eat day to day, and how you move. These are places in and around Annandale that make both easier. We have no affiliation with any of them — this is a list for patients who asked where to start.

Places to walk

Annandale's walking is in its parks rather than along its roads, and three of them are large enough to build a real route in. A fourth option is the trail network inside Wakefield Park, on the grounds of the Audrey Moore Rec Center listed further down.

• Mason District Park, 6621 Columbia Pike — the largest and most useful of the three. A hiking trail runs through a big natural area, with playing fields, tennis courts, a playground and a refreshment stand on the developed side. Enough ground that you can lengthen your route week by week without repeating yourself.
• Holmes Run Stream Valley Park, 3437 Charleson St — a stream valley trail, shaded for most of its length, open from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The early opening is the point if the only time you have is before work.
• Hidden Oaks Nature Center, 7701 Royce St — the nature center sits inside the 52-acre Annandale District Park, with woodland paths through it. The Storybook Trail is paved and ADA-certified, which makes it one of the few genuinely accessible surfaces nearby, though it is short — plan on it as a starting point rather than a workout. Main parking is at the Packard Center, 4022 Hummer Road. The nature center building is open 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed Tuesdays; the park itself is open regardless.

Eating out without starting over

Annandale is the region's center for Korean food, and that is good news more often than patients expect. A Korean table is built around grilled protein and a spread of vegetable side dishes, and the soups and stews are mostly broth. Three things make the difference: order à la carte instead of all-you-can-eat, lean on the banchan rather than the rice, and treat the fried dishes — the chicken, the pancakes, the corn dogs — as something other than dinner. Beyond that, your plan is built around normal food in smaller quantities, not special meals.

• Honey Pig Korean BBQ, 7220 Columbia Pike — tabletop grill, open 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays and to 11:00 PM Friday and Saturday. They offer both all-you-can-eat and a full à la carte menu; the à la carte side is the one that fits the program, and the soups and stews are a reasonable order on their own. Grilling at the table also slows the meal down, which tends to work in your favor.
• honeygrow, 6464 Lincolnia Rd, Alexandria — in Barcroft Plaza, just east of Annandale. Build-your-own stir-fry and salad bowls ordered from a screen, so you pick every ingredient and can see what you are getting. Open 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM daily, with free parking at the door.

Only two entries here, and deliberately so. Several well-known Annandale restaurants were left off because we could not confirm a working link to their own website, and a few others were a poor fit once we read the menu. We would rather name two we can stand behind than pad the list.

Gyms and studios

Strength training protects muscle while you lose weight, which is why we raise it with every patient. Annandale is better supplied with small coached studios than with big-box gyms, which suits patients who would rather not start out alone on a gym floor. Two of the four below work specifically with beginners, seniors, and people coming back from injury.

• Audrey Moore Rec Center, 8100 Braddock Rd — the county facility inside Wakefield Park: indoor pool and aquatics programs, fitness rooms, indoor courts, gyms and a track, racquetball and handball courts, and a pottery lab. Open from 5:00 AM on weekdays. You can buy a membership or pay a daily admission pass, which makes it the easiest place on this list to try once without signing anything. Trails run right outside the door.
• Foundation Fitness of Annandale, 7023 Little River Turnpike, Suite 0050 — one-on-one and semi-private training in groups of two to eight, covering strength, mobility and nutrition coaching, with programs aimed at seniors and at weight loss specifically. Open 4:30 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays.
• Connection Wellness Center, 4113 John Marr Dr, Suite A — personal training and physical therapy in the same practice, working with adults, seniors and teens. Worth a look if a knee, hip or back problem is the reason you have not started, since the training and the rehab can be handled by the same people. Open 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays.
• RAMP Optimal Performance and Wellness, 7232 Columbia Pike — individual coaching across strength, balance, flexibility, core stability and cardio, plus group classes, joint mobility work, injury recovery and senior-focused programming. Open 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM weekdays and 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM Saturday.
