Weight Loss Philosophy
Recent statistics from the Center for Disease Control and the National Center for Health Statistics indicate that 33 percent of American adults are obese, up 25 percent since 1980. Telling an individual to eat less when they are overweight is equivalent to telling a person with asthma to stop wheezing. Just as a diabetic or hypertensive person can’t be expected to control his or her disease without a suitable diet and medical program, neither should an overweight person.
You Can Lose Weight
Weight loss is extremely difficult for most people; however, the principles are easy enough to understand: eat less and exercise more. Yet, like many other things that appear simple in theory, losing weight in practice can be complicated. That is why we have personally designed our weight loss program to be the most comprehensive physician-supervised weight loss plan available.
Our program utilizes all proven successful weight loss techniques including the use of customized diets, pharmaceutical-grade supplements, exercise plans, vitamins, amino acid injections, prescription appetite suppressants, and behavioral diet modifications.
After a thorough evaluation, a customized program is chosen based on the specific needs and wants of each patient. This all-encompassing approach ensures that you will reach your target weight as quickly and safely as possible.

Weekly one-on-one visits, nutritional counseling, and the accountability factor are essential to our program’s success. We provide the necessary tools, support, and assistance designed to modify behavior for a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
