Medical Weight Loss Clinic Near Burke, VA

BeLite Medical Center is a physician-supervised weight loss practice in the City of Fairfax, about 7 miles north of Burke. BeLite has been treating weight loss since 1995, and our Fairfax office has served patients from Burke, Burke Centre and across Northern Virginia since 1996. Your first consultation is free.

Where is BeLite in relation to Burke?

We are at 3923 Blenheim Blvd, Suite 61A, Fairfax, VA 22030, just south of Fairfax Circle. Free parking is available at the office park. Burke is one of our closer communities — this is a short drive, not a trek across the county.

Driving from Burke: From Burke Centre, take Burke Centre Parkway to Ox Road (Route 123) and follow it north, continuing as it becomes Chain Bridge Road through the City of Fairfax. Turn right onto Fairfax Boulevard (Route 50) east toward Fairfax Circle, then follow the signs onto Blenheim Boulevard south (formerly Old Lee Highway) to 3923 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 61A. Coming from the Rolling Road or Old Keene Mill side, Braddock Road west to Route 123 north is the more direct line.

Estimated driving time: approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic.

By public transit: Burke is served by VRE rather than Metro, and the VRE runs toward Washington rather than toward us, so it is no help in getting here. The nearest Metro station, Vienna/Fairfax–GMU, is roughly as far north of our office as Burke is south of it. Our Burke patients drive, and given how short the drive is, that is the sensible choice.

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 Burke

Two parts of the program happen between appointments: how you eat day to day, and how you move. These are places in and around Burke 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

Burke has the single best walking asset of any community we serve, and it is worth saying plainly: if you live here, the hardest part of starting a walking habit has already been solved for you.

• Burke Lake Park, 7315 Ox Rd, Fairfax Station — a 4.68-mile trail circles the lake, starting from the marina parking lot, and the grounds are open sunrise to sunset. It is wide, well maintained and manageable with a stroller or a wheelchair over most of its length. Despite the name it sits in Fairfax Station, a few miles south of Burke Centre, so it is a short drive rather than a walk from home — but a measured loop of a known distance is exactly what makes progress visible, and few places give you one this good. If 4.68 miles is more than you want, walk out fifteen minutes and turn around.
• Pohick Stream Valley – Burke VRE Trail, 9495 Burke Rd — paved the whole way, level, and genuinely in Burke, with parking at the trailhead and bridged creek crossings through the woods. The flattest option here, and the easiest to fit into a weekday.
• Lake Barton Park, 5726 Lakeside Oak Ln — a neighborhood lakeside trail with benches and wooden footbridges, recently renovated, open from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The earliest opening of the four, which matters if before work is your only window.
• Huntsman Park, 9150 Dorothy Ln, Springfield — recently repaved paths around a small reservoir, with the north side flatter than the south. Useful to know: the trail system here connects through toward Burke Lake, so this is where to start if you want to stretch a short walk into a long one without driving twice.

Eating out without starting over

Your plan is built around normal food in smaller quantities, not special meals. Burke's strength here is soup and bowls rather than salad bars — which suits the program better than it sounds, since a broth-based bowl with herbs and lean protein is a straightforward order and a filling one.

• Pho Duong, 9538 Burke Rd — Vietnamese, open 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day, with pho alongside rice vermicelli bowls and rice dishes. Pho is one of the easier restaurant meals to fit into a plan: the bulk of the bowl is broth and herbs, and you control how much of the noodle you actually eat. Several of our patients ask for extra vegetables and leave half the noodles, which is a perfectly normal order here.
• mezeh, 8406 Old Keene Mill Rd, West Springfield — Mediterranean rice bowls and flatbread wraps made to order, open 10:30 AM to 11:00 PM daily. The late closing makes it one of the few options on this page that still works after an evening appointment or a late shift.
• Sakura Grill, 6411 Shiplett Blvd — a long-standing neighborhood Japanese place serving sushi and rolls alongside teriyaki and katsu. As with most Japanese menus, there is an easy path and a harder one: the sushi, sashimi and the grilled teriyaki on one side, the battered and fried katsu and tempura on the other. Open from 11:30 AM, to 9:30 PM most nights and 10:00 PM Friday and Saturday.

Gyms and studios

Strength training protects muscle while you lose weight, which is why we raise it with every patient. Burke has fewer options than some of the places we serve, but the two that matter most are well covered: a large public facility you can walk into without a membership, and a studio built around very short, closely supervised sessions.

• South Run Rec Center, 7550 Reservation Dr, Springfield — the Fairfax County facility for this side of the county: an indoor pool, fitness centers with free weights, indoor courts, gyms and a track, a field house, and racquetball, walleyball and handball courts. Daily admission is sold as well as membership, so you can try it once without signing anything, and that applies to non-county residents too. Opens at 5:00 AM on weekdays; closing times shift by season, so check before an evening visit.
• The Perfect Workout, 8992 Fern Park Dr — slow-motion strength training in 20-minute one-on-one sessions with a trainer, once or twice a week. Of everything across our location pages, this is the shortest time commitment that still counts as real strength work, and the one-on-one format means nobody is watching you learn. There is a free introductory session. Open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM weekdays and 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM Saturday.
• Burke Lake Park, 7315 Ox Rd, Fairfax Station — listed again on purpose. If a gym membership is not going to happen this year, the lake loop plus a set of resistance bands at home covers more ground than most people expect, and it costs nothing. Say so at your appointment and we will build the plan around it rather than around a gym you will not use.
