Leena Cherukuri, MD, MPH
Family Medicine & Obesity Medicine
With over 18 years of experience in primary care, weight management, and hospital medicine in Albuquerque, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and patient-focused care. I completed my residency at the University of New Mexico Family Medicine program in 2009 and I am board certified in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine. I have established and led the non-surgical medical weight loss clinic at the RUST Presbyterian Medical Services from 2022 to 2025. Throughout my career, I have cared for a diverse range of patients with varying medical complexities in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
My vision for FourC Health is to deliver care that is compassionate, convenient, capable, and cost-effective – values that are reflected in my practice name.
When not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, watching Netflix shows/movies, and finding moments to relax and recharge.

Expert Medical Weight Loss in Albuquerque
FourC Health offers comprehensive medical weight loss in Albuquerque through a Direct Primary Care membership. Your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your health, lifestyle, and the factors that may be affecting your weight. From there, Dr. Leena Cherukuri creates a personalized weight management plan that may include nutrition guidance, activity recommendations, and, when clinically appropriate, weight loss medication.
Unlike standalone weight loss programs, FourC Health combines weight management with comprehensive primary care. Your physician oversees every aspect of your health, from weight and lab results to chronic conditions and preventive care, so nothing gets overlooked.
Physician-Led Weight Management Care
Leena Cherukuri, MD, MPH is board-certified in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, with 18+ years of experience in primary care and weight management, serving patients across Albuquerque. At FourC Health, weight loss care is integrated with your overall healthcare. Your weight, chronic conditions, lab results, and long-term wellness are all managed by the same physician who understands your complete health picture.
Your first visit is a full evaluation. Dr. Cherukuri takes the time to review your medical history, understand your health journey, and develop a personalized weight management plan tailored to your unique needs. Every recommendation is guided by your health goals, medical background, and overall health profile.
What's Included in Your Weight Loss & Primary Care Membership
Medical weight management in Albuquerque at FourC Health forms part of the affordable monthly primary care membership. No separate program fees, no per-visit charges.
Your FourC Health membership covers:
- Full health evaluation at your first visit
- InBody body composition scans to track fat loss, muscle mass, and hydration, not just scale weight
- A personalized weight loss treatment plan that gets updated as your results change
- FDA-approved weight loss medications when clinically appropriate, including GLP-1 support
- Prior authorization support to access medications through your insurance
- Direct messaging with Dr. Cherukuri through our app, with no front desk or callback queue
- Prescription coordination with the local Albuquerque pharmacy of your choice
We don’t sell medications in-clinic or prescribe compounded formulations or peptides; all prescriptions go to your regular pharmacy.
How the FourC Health App Supports Your Weight Loss Care
Our FourC Health app is how members schedule visits, message Dr. Cherukuri, access records, request refills, and stay connected between appointments. It is not a separate weight loss app or a separate program. It is the main access point for your direct primary care membership, including your medical weight loss support.
This helps keep your weight management connected to the rest of your care. Instead of calling a front desk or waiting for a callback, you can message Dr. Cherukuri directly through our app when you have a question about your weight loss plan, medication, progress, or follow-up timing.
InBody Body Composition Scans in Albuquerque
Included with every FourC Health primary care and weight loss membership, InBody scans provide a deeper understanding of your health than a standard scale ever could. By measuring body fat percentage, muscle mass, and hydration levels, these advanced assessments give Dr. Cherukuri a clear, data-driven view of how your body is changing, helping track meaningful progress beyond just weight.
Progress in fat loss or muscle gain can be significant even when the number on the scale stays the same. InBody makes those changes visible, so your weight management treatment plan stays accurate and continues to guide decisions that will actually help you achieve your goals.
Weight Loss and Support for Chronic Conditions
Weight is closely connected to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. At FourC Health in Albuquerque, we manage these conditions alongside your weight goals, with access to your medical history, lab results, and overall health profile.
When weight management and chronic condition care happen in the same relationship, there are fewer gaps, fewer handoffs, and a physician who truly understands how everything connects.
Is Medical Weight Loss at FourC Health Right for You?
Weight loss at FourC Health in Albuquerque is a good fit if you are looking for a medically supervised approach to weight loss that’s built around your overall health, not just a number on the scale.
You may be a good candidate for FourC Health weight loss if you:
- Want ongoing physician-led weight management, not a one-time visit
- Have chronic conditions tied to your weight
- Are looking for FDA-approved treatment options, such as GLP-1 support
- Want a doctor who actually manages your weight alongside your overall primary care
If medication is appropriate for you, Dr. Cherukuri will discuss your options and help you access FDA-approved treatments through your local pharmacy and insurance whenever possible. Every prescription starts with a full clinical evaluation to make sure it is safe and appropriate for your health needs.
