Upon entering the program, patients receive a comprehensive evaluation by our clinical providers. Following your assessment, our team will recommend a personalized plan designed to support your healthy weight loss and long-term success.
For some, the answer may be a conservative approach that involves adjusting diet, lifestyle and physical activity, in addition to weight loss medication, when appropriate. For others, bariatric surgery may be a better option to address lifestyle and health needs. In every case, the goals are the same: achieve a healthy weight and reduce weight related health risks.
