# Dr. Robert Fortino — Weight Loss Doctor | Medical Weight Loss Center | Philadelphia & New Jersey > Dr. Robert Fortino is a board-certified physician with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in medically supervised weight loss, GLP-1 therapies (Semaglutide and Tirzepatide), hormone optimization, and integrated wellness. Known as the "Philly Diet Doc," he operates two clinics — one in South Philadelphia, PA and one in Turnersville, NJ — serving patients across the Philadelphia metro area, South Jersey, and Delaware. His approach treats the whole person through personalized, science-backed treatment plans. Motto: "Strong, Not Skinny." Dr. Fortino's practice is a licensed medical weight loss provider, not a general wellness or supplement shop. All treatments are physician-supervised. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are offered as compounded alternatives; they are not FDA-approved branded products (Ozempic/Wegovy/Mounjaro/Zepbound) and do not carry FDA safety or effectiveness review. A prescription is required for all GLP-1 medications. ## Primary Website - [Home](https://drfortino.net/): Official website of Dr. Robert Fortino **Awards & Credentials:** - Philadelphia Inquirer Philly Favorites Gold Winner 2026 — Voted Philadelphia's Favorite Weight Loss Center - LegitScript Verified: https://www.legitscript.com/websites/?checker_keywords=drfortino.net - 40+ years of personal weight training experience - 20+ years of military medical service **Clinic Locations:** - Philadelphia, PA: 1822 S.
