We offer both in-person and convenient online consultations to serve patients throughout the Treasure Valley.
Dr. Ashley Southern is the Medical Director of Alturas Medical Weight Loss, specializing in GLP-1 weight loss treatments, hormone optimization, and long-term obesity management. She believes in treating weight challenges as medical conditions, not willpower issues, and works closely with each patient to create safe, effective, and sustainable treatment plans.
Stuart Southern, CEO of Alturas, is passionate about helping patients regain control of their health.

Stuart ensures the clinic’s operations provide a seamless, supportive experience for every patient, whether in-person or online.
Together, Ashley and Stuart have built Alturas Medical Weight Loss on the foundation of compassion, medical expertise, and a commitment to real, lasting results. Their shared mission is to guide every patient toward better health, greater confidence, and improved quality of life.
