Our comprehensive medical weight loss program includes specialty-trained providers who can offer options for patients who are not ready for or do not qualify for bariatric surgery.

What to Expect with Medical Weight Loss?
An initial assessment is completed to medically diagnose obesity and assess patient’s motivation for change. Our team will then work with you to establish realistic goals and develop a treatment plan unique to your needs to help achieve your weight loss goals. Our customized medical weight loss plans utilize a comprehensive four pillared approach to treating obesity, including Nutritional guidance, behavioral modifications, physical activity guidelines and medication, when determined appropriate.
