Online & In-Person
Hello! I'm Dr. Marcelo Ernesto Brito Telles, a dedicated family physician based in the Lewisville/Carrollton/Denton area. With a passion for providing patient-centered care, I established my own clinic -Lakepointe Primary Care- with the goal to promote wellness and preventive healthcare for individuals of all ages, making sure each patient receives the personalized attention they deserve. As a healthcare provider, I have firsthand experience with GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, for weight loss management. These medications have proven to be effective tools in supporting patients struggling with obesity by promoting feelings of fullness and regulating appetite. I have seen positive outcomes in patients, not only in weight reduction but also in improvements to overall health, including better blood sugar control. With proper medical guidance and lifestyle changes, GLP-1 therapies offer a promising approach for long-term weight management. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively with a diverse group of patients. Whether you're in need of a routine check-up or managing a chronic condition, I'm here to guide you on your health journey. I look forward to partnering with you for a healthier tomorrow! Treatment philosophy: I believe in providing compassionate, patient-centered care that focuses on the whole person, not just their symptoms. Building strong relationships with my patients is key. I engage with them actively, listening to their concerns and involving them in their treatment decisions. My core values center around empathy, respect, and empowerment. With extensive experience in family medicine, I specialize in managing chronic conditions and preventive care. I am also committed to serving underserved communities. Through education and support, I aim to help my patients achieve their health goals and improve their quality of life. Together, we can foster a healthier future.
