Weight Loss Programs

 

New Patient Visits:
New patient visits include a consultation with focused medical examination.  A baseline body composition analysis will be performed. We also encourage having a metabolic study. 

The metabolic study provides us with the scientific principles to screen for slow metabolism and to develop a customized weight loss program.  Patients weight loss options may include prescription appetite suppressants, hCG or Lipoplex injections, natural weight loss formulas, patches and protein bars/shakes.  We also offer the Optifast weight loss program.

 

We have certified dieticians available for one-on-one or group educational sessions.  Meeting with the dietician is optional, but has been found to be very helpful for long-term weight loss success. We can also provide handouts with dietary instruction.

 

Follow Up Visits:
Follow up visits are usually monthly but can be more frequent depending on the plan chosen.  Patients are welcome to drop by anytime to weigh in or discuss their weight loss needs.  The follow up visits include consultation with the staff and refill of prescription appetite suppressants and injections.  Patients can be taught to give their own injections or we can give them at the office.  We have a very wide variety of protein bars and shakes available for purchase as well.
