MEET THE PHYSICIAN
Dr. Jason Giffi
Founder, Owner, & Medical Director
Dr. Jason Giffi, DO, DABOM, is a board-certified physician specializing in obesity medicine and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
He is also a certified personal trainer accredited by the National Academy of Sports Medicine –– a rare combination that allows him to connect obesity medicine, hormone optimization, fitness science, and targeted nutrition in one comprehensive plan.
As medical director of Ultimate Wellness, Dr. Giffi builds personalized, structured plans based on medical training, clinical experience, and the lessons of his own health transformation. His mission is simple: to leave no stone unturned in helping you be your best you.
Away from the clinic, Dr. Giffi is an avid Ironman triathlete, a proud husband, and a father of three who inspire him every day.
THE STORY BEHIND THE CLINIC
Why Dr. Giffi Built Ultimate Wellness
Ultimate Wellness started with an ER physician who was losing his own health.
At 35, Dr. Jason Giffi had the medical degree, the training, and every advantage knowledge should have given him, but he was still exhausted, inflamed, out of shape, and frustrated, watching his own health slip while he spent his days helping other people with theirs.
It forced him to admit something that changed the course of his life and career: Knowing medicine is not the same as living health.
In 2016 he made a commitment to completely restructure his life. He rebuilt his habits, his nutrition, his fitness – and with this, his identity as a man, a husband, and a father.
The change gave him back his energy, his fitness, and his sense of longevity. By 2022, he was a competitive triathalete and elite age-group ironman finisher.
It also gave him something he did not expect: a renewed sense of purpose. That purpose became Ultimate Wellness.
Dr. Giffi built Ultimate Wellness to help others achieve their own health and wellness goals with the integrated approach he had to assemble for himself the hard way — without the years of trial and error it cost him.
The one promise he makes is the one he lived:
for anyone who truly wants to get healthier, he and his team will work as hard as they can to help.

OUR PROMISES
What Patients Can Expect From Us
Every program at Ultimate Wellness starts with the clinical picture — your labs, your hormones, your body composition — and builds from there. That's what makes our results different from what most patients have experienced elsewhere.
We Leave No Stone Unturned
Many patients come to us after being told everything looks “normal,” even though they still do not feel right. We take those concerns seriously. Our job is to ask better questions, look deeper, and help you understand what is really going on with your biology.
Accountability Starts on Day One For Both of Us
Accountability does not just mean asking you to follow a plan. It means we are responsible for building a plan that makes sense for your body, your goals, and your real life. We are dedicated to providing you with the tools, guidance, and support needed to stay on track to transforming and reclaiming your health.
Structure and Support to Sustain Your Results
We are not interested in temporary results that disappear as soon as the program ends. Our goal is to empower you to make sustainable changes, not only in your physical health but also in your mindset and overall well-being so that you can maintain your progress long term.

Who is Ultimate Wellness for?

Do I need to know which service I need before scheduling?

No referral is needed.
Do you offer telehealth?
