About
Our Medical Weight Loss Program is for patients who are interested in weight loss, but do not qualify or may not be ready for bariatric surgery.
Medical weight loss is recommended for patients with a BMI of 30 or more, or a BMI of 27, with other obesity-related problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Making healthy dietary changes and increasing physical activity along with anti-obesity medications can result in up to a 15% loss of excess body weight (for example: You could lose up to 30 lbs. if you weigh 200 lbs).
Let us help you achieve your weight loss goals
When you come to us, a medical provider will review your medical and physical history. Under their supervision, a medication regimen is prescribed that will best help you meet your weight loss goals.
