Treatment includes:

• A comprehensive medical history, physical exam and laboratory testing to evaluate factors contributing to excess weight gain as well as problems caused by excess weight
• Assessment of nutritional needs and recommendations for dietary modifications
• Management of obesity-related comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension
• Use of medications, when desired and appropriate, to assist with weight loss
• Possible referrals to dietitians or behaviorists (counselors/therapists)

Weight Management – Evening Program

The Metabolic Weight Management clinic also hosts a separate, out-of-pocket evening program, combining the expertise of physicians, psychologists, registered dietitians and physical therapists to provide a comprehensive approach to the medical management of obesity. The program includes medical monitoring, lifestyle modification, nutrition education and increased physical activity—all guided by weight-loss experts.

Please note again that the weight management evening program is separate from the Metabolic Weight Management clinic. Patients can be seen in the Metabolic Weight Management clinic and choose to either participate or not participate in this evening program. This evening program is an optional, out-of-pocket service, whereas the Metabolic Weight Management clinic itself is billed through insurance.

If you are interested in the program, please email the program manager.
