About Cornerstone Integrated Health
Cornerstone Integrated Health takes a comprehensive medical approach to weight loss, combining the expertise of physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered dietitians under one roof.

Our team understands that weight loss isn't just about willpower, it's about understanding your body's unique needs and creating a scientifically-based plan that works with your physiology rather than against it. We serve patients throughout Cincinnati who are ready for a medical approach to sustainable weight loss.
