Care Team

Gunardi Irawan MD, DABOM

Primary Care & Weight Management Specialist

I am Dr. Gunardi Irawan, a board-certified specialist in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based care to my patients. Whether you need preventive care, chronic disease management, or a structured weight loss plan, I am committed to helping you achieve long-term health.

A Patient-Centered Approach to Primary Care & Weight Management

I take a personalized and empathetic approach to patient care, ensuring that every individual feels heard and supported. As a primary care physician, I focus on:

  • Preventive care – annual physicals, screenings, and vaccinations
  • Chronic disease management – diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and more
  • Same-day priority appointments for urgent needs.
  • Convenient virtual visits for primary care and weight management

For patients struggling with weight-related health concerns, I provide a supportive, science-based approach to obesity medicine, utilizing:

  • Advanced body composition analysis (seca mBCA 554)
  • Lab evaluations and metabolic health assessments
  • In-depth medical history and lifestyle assessments
  • Personalized treatment plans that may include lifestyle modifications, medications, or behavioral strategies
  • Virtual consultations available for weight management

My Background & Training

I completed my medical education in Germany at RWTH Aachen University, followed by internal medicine residency training in Framingham, MA, at Tufts Medical Center/Metrowest Medical Center, where I also served as Chief Resident.

After residency, I spent several years as an attending physician at UMass Memorial Health, where I was also a Clinical Assistant Professor at UMass Medical School. My deep connection to the region and its community drives my commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-focused care.

Beyond Medicine

Outside of my practice, I enjoy weightlifting, spending time with my two daughters, and hiking,
which I find both relaxing and restorative.

Certifications

  • Board Certification in Internal medicine
  • Board Certification in Obesity Medicine

Had my first primary care visit after I moved to this area with Dr. Irawan. Wonderful experience! He is very patient with my questions and was able to answer them very clearly in layman's language that I can understand. I am in good hands!
