Each patient receives personalized nutrition counseling from registered dietitians who understand the challenges of changing eating habits. We offer body composition analysis using advanced DEXA scanning to track progress beyond just the scale.

What to Expect
Your journey starts with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation that includes medical history review, physical examination, and laboratory testing. We'll discuss your weight loss goals, previous attempts, and any barriers you've encountered. Based on your assessment, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, dietary modifications, and behavioral strategies. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every 2-3 weeks initially to monitor progress, adjust medications, and provide ongoing support. We track multiple metrics including weight, body composition, energy levels, and health markers to ensure you're progressing safely toward your goals.

First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, please complete our online health questionnaire and gather any recent medical records or lab results. We recommend fasting for 8-12 hours before your initial visit for accurate baseline lab work. Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and vitamins you're taking. Think about your weight loss goals and what success looks like to you personally. Wear comfortable clothing for measurements and be prepared to discuss your eating habits honestly. Consider bringing a support person if you'd like them involved in your care planning.
