Dr. Ricco’s approach
I am an obesity medicine fellowship trained physician hoping to provide quality and data-driven weight care to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Achieving sustainable weight loss requires more than just the repetitive advice of "eat less, exercise more". I combine the latest in medical insights such as the new GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) along with transformative new prescription medications to empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being.
How does it work?: At home weight loss starting in 5 minutes
Step 1: Take our 5-minute quiz
Share your medical background and weight loss journey with us to determine if Bloom Health is the right fit for you.
Step 2: Meet with Dr. Ricco
Meet with your Dr. Ricco to review your assessment and develop your treatment plan. Usually labs will be ordered.
Step 3: Medication is Prescribed
We will consider appropriate medications for you — in many cases, GLP-1s like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). We will work with your insurance company to get them covered and they will be prescribed to your pharmacy.
Step 4. Start the program
You will begin your multimodality program, combining dietary recommendations, exercise, and medication. Regular check-ins will occur to monitor your progress. You are encouraged at any time to contact Dr. Ricco via text, email, phone, or video. It can take ~1 year to achieve your goals.
GLP-1’s: The Next Generation of Treatment
Our program utilizes FDA-approved drugs like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) that address the biological barriers often hindering individuals from achieving weight loss success.
Fitting into your busy schedule
Currently because of Medicare limitations, I am only offering my services via telehealth to Pennsylvania residents < 65 years old.
However, I am located in the Delaware and Montgomery County areas of the Philadelphia suburbs. As Bloom Health grows, I plan to create an in-person clinic.

Meet Dr. Ricco
Hello! I am Dr. Anthony Ricco, the Founder and Medical Director of Bloom Health. I grew up in the Philadelphia area and completed my medical school training at Thomas Jefferson Medical College. Following medical school, I pursued a residency in oncology, and I continue to care for cancer patients on a daily basis.
Over time, I realized that many of the leading causes of death in America, including heart disease and cancer, could be prevented through lifestyle changes. I recognized that maintaining a healthy weight is a critical factor in prevention, as 40% of certain cancers in the US are believed to be linked to obesity.
When groundbreaking GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) started to demonstrate significant weight loss results, I began incorporating these treatments into my cancer patients' care plans. I was amazed by the incredible outcomes I witnessed over time.
Motivated by these transformative results, I sought further training in obesity medicine through the Society of Obesity Medicine. I am on track to become board certified by October, further solidifying my expertise in the field.
Driven by a mission to help individuals achieve weight loss goals they never thought possible, I founded Bloom Health. My goal is to provide convenient telehealth access to life-changing GLP-1 inhibitor medications (and other weight loss pharmacotherapy) and comprehensive weight management solutions for the people in my community.
Join me on this journey towards a healthier, happier life. Book your appointment at Bloom Health today and experience the difference of personalized, evidence-based weight loss care.
