ABOUT + APPPOINTMENTS
FAMILY PHYSICIAN IN EAST TENNESSEE
Family physicians, like Kabir Harricharan Singh, MD, treat people of all ages, genders, and most health conditions. Along with focusing on preventative care, family physicians (also known as primary care physicians) are the first contact point when a health concern arises. They can either directly address the health problem or help you find (and work alongside) a specialist.
Along with helping patients prevent, understand, and manage illness or disease, family physicians are also great resources for navigating the health system and helping patients set health goals.
Dr. Kabir Harricharan Singh, MD, FAAFP, DABOM is board-certified in both family medicine and obesity medicine and practices medicine using the latest evidence-based, scientific information available. He stays up-to-date on both specialties through periodic recertifications and by attending medical conferences.
Dr. Kabir is passionate about creating a sustainable and trusting relationship with his patients by taking the time to listen and educate, as well as developing a personalized prevention/management health plan. He’s accepting new patients for family medicine and obesity medicine at Healthstar Premier Medical West in Newport, Tennessee.

DR. KABIR ALSO SPECIALIZES IN WEIGHT LOSS. AS A BOARD-CERTIFIED OBESITY MEDICINE PHYSICIAN, HE FOCUSES ON MORE THAN WEIGHT LOSS – IT’S ABOUT health beyond the scale
Weight loss can be a major component of meeting certain health goals that are discussed with your family physician.
Whether you want or need to lose 10 or 100+ pounds to help reach your health goal(s), the practice of obesity medicine is to help you achieve safe, effective, and long-lasting weight loss results so that you can gain health beyond the scale.
Health beyond the scale is a different way of thinking about your health and weight loss journey. It’s based on the idea that the numbers on the scale don’t tell you how healthy you are, and it embraces the concept that people can be healthy at different weights. This helps set us up to celebrate health achievements that aren’t defined by the numbers on the scale (aka non-scale victories)…these weight loss victories may instead be measured by lowered blood pressure, lowered cholesterol, or even just feeling more energy to enjoy life.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
— Benjamin Franklin
Preventing a disease from developing is much easier than trying to manage it once it happens. However, should something develop, the next best approach is to create a comprehensive, evidence-based management plan. That’s where Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) come in clutch! We not only help with the prevention and management of health issues, but we also help coordinate care in today’s complex healthcare system.
Diabetes and heart issues (some at young ages) are pretty common in my family tree. This is one reason I decided to start improving my health early enough to either prevent or delay any of these complications. Through the years, I’ve lost a combined total of 245 pounds, but what’s most important to me is that through my weight loss efforts, my health has improved. For example, my lab markers for diabetes and heart disease have improved significantly. I may not always be able to escape my genetics and family history, but I can definitely make it harder for them to catch up to me!
