About Ferguson Family Medicine
Ferguson Family Medicine has been serving the Mesa community for over a decade, combining traditional family medicine with modern weight management solutions. Our clinic recognizes that sustainable weight loss requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both physical and lifestyle factors.
We're not just another weight loss clinic - we're a full-service medical practice that understands how weight impacts your overall health. Our team includes board-certified physicians, licensed nutritionists, and wellness coaches who work together to create personalized treatment plans. Whether you're dealing with 20 pounds or 100 pounds to lose, we provide medical supervision and support throughout your journey.
Services Offered
Our weight loss services integrate seamlessly with our family medicine practice, offering medically supervised programs that prioritize safety and long-term success. We provide comprehensive metabolic testing to identify underlying issues that may be hindering weight loss, including thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances. Our medical team can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate, always under careful monitoring. We also offer nutritional counseling with registered dietitians who create realistic meal plans that fit your lifestyle and preferences. Body composition analysis helps track progress beyond the scale, measuring muscle mass and fat percentage. Additionally, we provide laser treatments and medical spa services that can help with skin tightening and cellulite reduction as you lose weight. Our approach includes regular check-ins, lab work monitoring, and adjustments to your plan as needed. We believe in education and support, teaching you the skills needed to maintain your weight loss long after completing our program.

First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first visit, gather any previous lab results, medication lists, and weight loss history to help us create the most effective plan. We recommend keeping a food diary for at least one week prior to your appointment. Come prepared to discuss your goals, challenges, and any concerns about weight loss medications or lifestyle changes.
During treatment, consistency with appointments and medication compliance are crucial for success. We encourage patients to weigh themselves daily and track their food intake using our recommended apps. Don't hesitate to contact us between appointments if you have questions or concerns. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and plateaus are normal parts of the process.
