Sejal Desai, MD

Welcome to Tula Medical Weight Loss & Wellness! 

I'm Dr. Sejal Desai, a double board-certified Obesity and Family Medicine physician. I have been in practice since 2004 and understand that weight loss is not just about eat less and move more. In order to have sustainable results, we need to get to the ROOT CAUSE of the weight gain.

I started Tula Medical Weight Loss & Wellness so that I could work one-on-one with my patients to help them achieve a healthy weight and reduce the risk of developing long-term complications such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart attack, stroke and certain cancers. I treat my patients holistically by addressing the medical, social, and emotional aspects of their lives. By combining science-based medicine with individualized obesity treatment, I will help guide you along your journey to achieving long term weight loss success.

When you get to know me, you will find out that I have been through my own weight loss journey and I follow the techniques that I teach. This is truly my passion, so I also enjoy speaking and have been featured in may national lectures, conferences and podcasts regarding Obesity Medicine. I'm also President of the Houston Obesity Society (HOPE) and Vice-President and co-founder of Women Physician Entrepreneurs of Houston. In 2024, I was honored to be chosen as a Top Doc in Obesity Medicine by Houstonia Magazine.

It's important for me to have work-life balance, so in my free time I love to travel, read, exercise, cook healthy meals, volunteer in the community and spend lots of time with my children, family, friends & my German Shepherd, Apollo. 

I earned my undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin and medical degree at AUC Medical School. I completed residency at Michigan State University and have worked in 

Michigan, California and Texas.

I truly believe that every new day is another chance to get stronger, to eat better, to live healthier, and to be the best version of you.  I hope you'll let me help you do just that.

Yours In Health,

Dr. Desai
