Physician Assisted Medical Weight Loss Programs

Medical Weight Loss in Mansfield, TX

We provide physician-led individualized care in the treatment and managed care of weight loss. Personal counseling, nutritional foods, pharmaceuticals, and physician supervised diets are part of our approach to guiding patients toward fitness, nutrition, and emotional and physical wellness. It is much healthier to get patients to lose weight rather than treating their co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. We focus on our effective 1:1 physician counseling program that helps to educate the patients on behavioral, diet, nutrition, and fitness issues that are required for an individual to keep off weight for their lifetime.

The best fitness strategies for that individual patient to maintain muscle while losing weight are also discussed and objectively determined as to which weight loss program is right for them.

Our commitment to you is to a safe, medically approved weight loss program that is individualized to your specific needs and expectations. We believe that even after achieving the initial weight loss, the process is ongoing and maintaining your weight and health is imperative to our success in treating your weight condition. The journey to a “New You” starts here and in many cases, demand a change in lifestyles and behavioral habits. We continually educate you concerning these lifestyle changes from a nutritional and medical standpoint - allowing you to feel “good” about yourself again “inside and out”.
