About Dr. Venkatesh

Dr. Thirumalesh Venkatesh, MD, is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Integrative Medicine, and the founder and medical director of Seven Hills Medical Center. With more than two decades of experience, he helps patients address weight, metabolism, hormones, fatigue, aging, and chronic disease through a physician-led, whole-person approach to care.

His clinical philosophy is rooted in prevention, metabolic health, the mind-body connection, and long-term patient relationships. He believes patients deserve to feel heard, understood, and guided, rather than rushed, judged, or handed a one-size-fits-all plan.

Patients often describe Dr. Venkatesh as compassionate, approachable, and genuinely willing to listen. Many mention that he takes time to understand the whole person rather than only the diagnosis, and that his plans feel personal and practical. That prevention-focused mindset, paired with his ability to combine medical expertise with wellness care, has made him a trusted physician for individuals and families across Brooklyn, Franklin Square, and Melville.

Board Certifications & Expertise

Each of his three certifications covers a different part of what patients come in for, which is what allows him to treat weight, metabolic health, and whole-body wellness as connected concerns rather than separate ones.

Internal Medicine. The foundation for diagnosing and managing complex, overlapping conditions in adults, and for knowing when a symptom points to something that needs a full workup.

Obesity Medicine. A subspecialty focused on the metabolic, hormonal, and behavioral drivers of weight, including the use of GLP-1 medications under physician supervision.

Integrative Medicine. An approach that brings nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, and preventive care into the same plan as conventional treatment rather than treating them as extras.

Beyond his certifications, Dr. Venkatesh personally builds and oversees every treatment plan at Seven Hills, from your first set of labs through each follow-up visit.

Obesity Medicine & Medical Weight Loss

A major focus of Dr. Venkatesh's work is obesity medicine. He treats weight gain and obesity as complex medical conditions shaped by metabolism, hormones, insulin resistance, sleep, stress, genetics, and emotional health, not as a matter of willpower.

His approach to medical weight loss is structured, compassionate, and physician-supervised. Depending on what your evaluation shows, care may include metabolic and hormone testing, a GLP-1 medication program where clinically appropriate, nutrition guidance, and long-term maintenance support. The aim is steady progress you can hold onto, with a physician monitoring you along the way. Individual results may vary.

Integrative, Anti-Aging & Wellness Care

Dr. Venkatesh also leads the practice's work in hormone optimization, IV therapy, peptide therapy, and preventive wellness. He believes medicine should do more than help patients avoid illness, and his care model addresses concerns like fatigue, hormone imbalance, low energy, brain fog, poor sleep, inflammation, and the early signs of aging through personalized, medically guided plans. Treatment is recommended only after a medical evaluation, and individual results vary.

That integrated model is why Seven Hills brings primary care, obesity medicine, hormone care, IV therapy, aesthetics, and anti-aging services together under one roof. Your records and your plan follow you between the Brooklyn, Franklin Square, and Melville offices, so the physician overseeing your weight loss is the same one reviewing your hormones and your labs.
