Doctor-Led Weight Loss Clinic — Singapore
At Accord Medical Clinic, we offer a comprehensive, doctor-supervised weight management programme designed for safe, sustainable results. Our approach uses prescription GLP-1 receptor agonists — a class of medications that work with your body’s natural hormones to control appetite, reduce cravings, slow digestion, and increase feelings of fullness.
We provide two forms of medically supervised treatment:
- Weekly injectable treatments — Clinically proven GLP-1 medications administered once a week under medical supervision for steady, sustainable weight loss.
- Daily oral options — Prescription tablets that support your metabolic health as part of a comprehensive doctor-managed weight programme.
Both treatments are medically supervised to ensure safe and sustainable results. While mild side effects like nausea or bloating may occur, most patients tolerate the treatment well under proper medical guidance.
If you’re seeking a safe, medically guided weight loss solution in Singapore, our experienced doctor tailors a plan to fit your health needs and goals.
Accord Weight Management Programme
Struggling with weight loss despite dieting and exercise? At our Singapore clinic, we offer a holistic weight management programme designed to deliver safe, sustainable results. Our approach combines diet planning, exercise, medical treatment, and acupuncture to help you achieve and maintain your ideal weight.
Obesity is more than calories in and out — it’s a chronic condition influenced by genetics, environment, and appetite hormones. That’s why many people find it difficult to lose weight and keep it off without proper medical support.
We provide effective, FDA-approved prescription treatments that help suppress appetite, reduce fat absorption, boost metabolism, or regulate blood sugar, leading to significant weight loss when taken consistently under medical supervision. To complement treatment, acupuncture therapy supports appetite control and weight stability.
With the expertise of Dr. Joseph Wang, our patients receive personalised weight loss plans in Singapore for long-lasting results.
Doctor-Prescribed GLP-1 Medications — How They Work
GLP-1 receptor agonists are clinically approved medications for weight management. These treatments are prescribed by our doctor after a thorough medical assessment to determine the most suitable option for your health profile and weight loss goals.
These medications work by:
- Reducing appetite — They signal your brain that you’re full, helping you eat less naturally.
- Slowing digestion — Food stays in your stomach longer, keeping you satisfied between meals.
- Regulating blood sugar — They help stabilise insulin levels, reducing cravings and energy crashes.
- Supporting fat loss — In clinical studies, patients on GLP-1 treatments achieved an average of 15% body weight reduction when combined with lifestyle changes.
Your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment plan — whether a weekly injectable or daily oral formulation — based on your individual health profile, medical history, and weight management goals.
Note: All prescription weight management medications at Accord Medical Clinic are prescribed only after a thorough medical consultation and are used strictly under ongoing medical supervision.

Why Weight Management Matters in Singapore
Singapore faces rising obesity rates. According to the National Population Health Survey, nearly 1 in 10 Singaporeans is obese, with many more in the overweight category. Excess weight is a leading risk factor for:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure and heart disease
- Sleep apnoea
- Joint problems and osteoarthritis
- Certain cancers
- Reduced quality of life and mobility
Medical weight management is not about quick fixes — it’s about addressing the root causes of weight gain with evidence-based treatments and lifestyle changes. Our programme helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight for life.
Understanding Weight Gain and Obesity
Weight gain is complex. It’s not simply about willpower — it involves:
- Genetics — Your genes influence how your body stores fat and regulates appetite.
- Hormones — Hormones like ghrelin (hunger hormone) and leptin (fullness hormone) affect how much you eat.
- Environment — Easy access to high-calorie foods, sedentary lifestyles, and stress all contribute.
- Medications — Some medications can cause weight gain as a side effect.
- Medical conditions — Conditions like hypothyroidism, PCOS, and insulin resistance make weight loss harder.
That’s why a doctor-led approach is essential — we identify and address the specific factors affecting your weight, rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice.
Medical Weight Loss Treatments in Singapore
At Accord Medical Clinic, we offer a range of doctor-prescribed treatments tailored to your needs:
- GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (Weekly Injectables) — Clinically proven medications that regulate appetite and support significant, sustainable weight loss under medical supervision.
- Oral Prescription Medications — Daily tablets that support metabolic health by managing appetite, blood sugar, and fat absorption.
- Acupuncture for Weight Management — Complementary therapy that supports appetite control, reduces stress-related eating, and helps maintain results.
- Dietary Planning — Personalised nutrition guidance tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and health conditions.
- Exercise Recommendations — Practical, sustainable activity plans that fit your schedule and fitness level.
Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate combination of treatments after assessing your medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals.
Acupuncture for Weight Maintenance

- Reducing stress and emotional eating triggers
- Supporting appetite regulation
- Improving digestion and metabolism
