We will give you the tools for staying on track towards improved health. We can prescribe medications and supplements to help personalize your journey; and along with reduced-calorie meal plan, increased physical activity, and your motivation we can help create the complete weight management plan
Candidates for Medical Weight Loss
Patients are carefully screened to determine if they are good candidates for the program.
- Body mass index, or BMI, of 25 or higher, indicating obesity
In addition, candidates must be medically evaluated to see if our medical weight loss program is appropriate in a particular case. Candidates for medical weight loss must be motivated to make permanent lifestyle changes since the medication alone does not guarantee permanent weight loss. In the screening for patients for whom medical weight loss is appropriate, our physician investigates the following:
- Medical conditions
- Nutrition and weight history
- Psychological status
- Personal motivation
- Age
