About the Practice
Brick Road Health was created to provide thoughtful, personalized, and evidence-based medical weight management and comprehensive metabolic care. We believe better health is built step by step — with a realistic, supportive approach tailored to each individual.
Our care model is designed to meet patients where they are, recognizing that no two health journeys are the same. We focus on creating sustainable, practical plans that fit into real life, not temporary or restrictive solutions. Treatment may include lifestyle counseling, nutrition and exercise guidance, medication evaluation, and ongoing follow-up, all grounded in clinical evidence and best practices.
We specialize in modern, medically guided weight management, including the appropriate use of FDA-approved medications such as evidence-based anti-obesity therapies when indicated. Every treatment plan is individualized, with careful attention to safety, effectiveness, and long-term success.
Through convenient telehealth visits, Brick Road Health provides accessible, high-quality care for patients across Florida. Our goal is to build lasting partnerships with our patients — offering guidance, accountability, and support at every step of the journey.
At Brick Road Health, we are committed to helping you improve not just your weight, but your overall metabolic health, energy, and quality of life.
About Elliot Nussbaum, PA-C, MBA
Elliot Nussbaum is a board-certified Physician Assistant with a clinical background in cardiology and primary care. His work has focused on patients managing heart disease, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and obesity-related cardiovascular risk — conditions that are closely connected and often share a common thread: weight.
Watching patients struggle with weight in cardiology and primary care settings made one thing clear to Elliot: the issue was rarely a lack of effort. It was a lack of proper medical support. Most weight loss programs lack clinical oversight, individualized lab review, or any formal mechanism for adjusting treatment based on response. He founded Brick Road Health to fill that gap.
The practice takes its name from the idea that progress is built step by step — methodically, on a solid foundation. That reflects how Elliot practices: comprehensive evaluation first, then a plan built carefully around your history, your metabolism, and your specific goals. No templates, no one-size-fits-all programs.
"I created Brick Road Health because I believe patients managing their weight deserve the same level of clinical attention as any chronic medical condition — not a program, a plan."
— Elliot Nussbaum, PA-C, MBA

What Guides Us
01
Every treatment recommendation is grounded in peer-reviewed research and clinical guidelines. We do not offer based on popular demand or anecdotal reports — only what clinical evidence supports for your situation.
02
No plan is built without understanding the full picture. Your initial evaluation covers your health history, prior weight loss attempts, current medications, and metabolic labs before any treatment is recommended.
03
We focus on sustainable weight management that preserves muscle, improves metabolic markers, and supports overall health — not the fastest possible number on the scale.
04
Through telehealth, patients across Florida can access consistent, high-quality care without long commutes or wait times. Regular follow-up is built into every treatment plan because outcomes depend on ongoing monitoring.
05
We discuss your health honestly — including what is and isn't clinically appropriate. You will always receive a clear explanation of recommendations, not just a medication with minimal context.
06
Weight loss is a means to an end. At Brick Road Health, the broader goal is improved metabolic health — better blood sugar control, reduced cardiovascular risk, more energy, and a body that functions well long-term.
