Dr. William Yi
Expert medical guidance you can trust

Dr. William Yi
When you meet Dr. William Yi, one thing stands out right away: he’s not here to rush you into results—he’s here to make sure you feel confident every step of the way. Patients often come to him with questions, worries, or a little uncertainty about GLP‑1 treatment, and he’s built his career on turning that uncertainty into clarity.
A board‑certified bariatric surgeon with years of experience in obesity care, Dr. Yi understands that weight loss is rarely just about the numbers on a scale. His work has spanned both surgical and non‑surgical approaches, giving him a unique perspective on how to support patients through lasting change. At OrderlyMeds, he brings that same perspective to every conversation, blending science‑backed guidance with practical reassurance.
You’ll find his influence across our programs—whether he’s leading the Starting Strong: GLP‑1 Guide for Beginners webinar, answering common questions in live Q&A sessions, or explaining how to navigate side effects with confidence. Dr. William believes patients succeed when they understand what to expect, have a plan for challenges, and know someone is in their corner.
More than anything, his approach is grounded in respect. He values the honesty patients bring into the room and meets them with the same—clear guidance, realistic expectations, and support designed for the long term.
When patients come to me, they’re very vulnerable. In most jobs—and in most interactions in the world—there’s some facade that people put on. But when they come to see me as a medical provider, they’re usually really honest about what’s going on in their life. That’s a unique space to work in, and I’m proud to be a physician because of that.
