About Joe

I’m a physician associate practicing obesity medicine in New Hampshire. I make these visuals to explain the research, answer common questions, and share what I’m learning with other clinicians. I also serve on the board of the New England Obesity Society, speak nationally about obesity medicine, and advocate for better coverage and access to treatment. In 2026, I was honored to receive POCN’s America’s Top PA award.
