Weight Management

Using state-of-the-art, evidence-based treatment strategies, we offer adults a comprehensive weight management program that is customized to meet each person's weight-related medical, emotional, and psycho-social needs.

What to Expect

A weight management specialist will conduct a comprehensive initial assessment and medical evaluation of the medical, biological, emotional, and psycho-social issues that affect your weight. Based upon this in-depth assessment, an individualized weight management treatment plan will be developed (and mutually agreed upon) with the options of focusing on treatments such as diet, physical activity, behavior change, psychological counseling, and medications.

Appointment Frequency

During your initial appointment you will meet with one of the physicians who specialize in Weight Management. Subsequent appointments will be based on your individual needs.

Consultation Cost

Costs for individual consultations depend on the specialist you see and the number of visits. Some services may not be covered by insurance. Contact your insurance company if you have any questions regarding coverage.
