Background and History

Joel Wellness Clinic was founded and is led by Dr. Binju Joel, a physician with more than two decades of medical experience who is dual board-certified in Obesity Medicine and Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association. The clinic grew from Dr. Joel’s commitment to treating obesity as a medical condition and to partnering with patients in pursuit of what she calls the “Fullness of Life” — a life of wholeness, balance, and vitality.

The practice has developed particular expertise in lipedema care, with Dr. Joel actively involved in lipedema research, collaboration with the Lipedema Foundation, and a Lipedema Provider Roundtable she spearheaded to bring providers together and improve patient outcomes. The clinic serves patients from two Michigan locations and continues to expand its role in medical weight loss, lipedema, and primary care.
