About Our Programs
We want to help you lose weight safely and effectively and to
keep it off. We will help you develop a new and healthier lifestyle
consistent with the maintenance of the weight you want.
In our offices, you'll get personal medical attention and an individual
program tailored to your own situation. You'll start with a physical
exam from our physicians which includes complete blood tests including
thyroid levels, urine analysis, and if necessary, a electrocardiogram
(EKG).
This helps to assure that it is safe for you to begin a weight
loss program as well as ruling out unsuspected medical conditions
that might contribute to your weight problem.
