Effective weight loss is more than just dropping pounds as quickly as possible. In addition to losing weight safely, it’s important to establish healthy habits that lead to improved long-term overall health and quality of life.
Our comprehensive approach to weight management helps patients set goals, identify roadblocks, and achieve long-term success. As a medical disease that occurs when a person’s body accumulates and stores excessive amounts of body fat, obesity can decrease your lifespan and is associated with many other medical problems, including: cancer, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and depression.
