Dr. Homer, a Florida-licensed, dual-board certified physician* practicing in Boca Raton since 2002, helps patients achieve sustainable lifestyle changes through a holistic, integrated approach to wellness. His practice is rooted in the biopsychosocial model of health, a framework that recognizes the complex interactions between biological, psychological, and social factors that influence mental well-being and overall health.
He currently focuses on two key clinical areas: Sports & Performance Psychiatry and Weight Loss. His practice supports overall health via an emphasis on optimal mental health.
Dr. Homer emphasizes the powerful connection between body and mind, noting that regular exercise is widely understood to help reduce depression and stress, enhance sleep quality, support cognitive health, and aid in fall prevention to maintain independence.
To further support lifestyle goals beyond the medical realm, Dr. Homer leverages advanced training in fitness and behavior change. He is an NCCA-certified ACE Health Coach and an NCCA-certified NASM Personal Trainer, providing expert guidance on physical activity and healthy choices.
Dr. Homer thus helps busy adults and athletes of all ages and skill levels build a healthier mindset to power a healthier, happier mind & body—reducing stress and burnout, easing anxiety and mild depression, and taming overeating, when needed. When appropriate, he prescribes and manages psychotropic and anti-obesity medications, while educating on state-of-the-art tools and connecting clients to vetted local resources such as gyms, personal trainers, health spas, and hormonal treatment partners.

He is also certified in Obesity Medicine by the American Board of Obesity Medicine**.
** Disclaimer"The specialty recognition identified herein has been received from a private organization not affiliated with or recognized by the Florida Board of Medicine."
Why the above disclaimer is there:
The State of Florida requires the display of the exact statement because the certification is from the American Board of Obesity Medicine, a private organization not currently on the state's list of specifically recognized boards. The ABOM is, however, the most common physician obesity medicine certification in the USA and maintains rigorous standards. Eligibility requires an active ABMS or AOA primary board certification, completion of specific education requirements (60 hours of CME or a fellowship), and passing a comprehensive 4-hour examination. This rigorous process ensures the highest level of expertise in the field of obesity medicine.
