If you’re struggling with obesity and its complications, we can help you make lifestyle choices that improve your weight, without surgery. We offer a comprehensive, medically supervised, team approach to treating obesity that brings long-term results you can live with.

Each patient has an initial consultation with our bariatrician—a weight loss physician who specializes in treating obesity. She works closely with primary physicians to identify and treat the underlying factors that contribute to you inability to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.

Our team of physicians, dietitians, behavioral health staff and an exercise physiologistwill plan your weight loss program of diet, exercise and behavior modification with a focus on your weight loss goals.

Our services don’t end when you achieve your desired, healthy weight.Our long-term weight maintenance, relapse-prevention programs and peer-support groups help you deal with your ongoing struggles with weight gain, so you stay at a healthy weight.
