The primary focus is to motivate our patients improve their health. Our weight loss programs are holistic in their approach by treating the whole person, not just their eating habits. The multidisaplinary approach integrates the medical, nutrition, behavior and exercise aspects of therapy.

The body composition analysis measures the basal metabolic rate (BMR), body mass index (BMI), and the percentage of muscle and fat. An individualized treatment program will then be prescribed based on these results to help you loose the most amount of weight in a quick and healthy way. 

Our programs incorporate meal replacements, calorie reduction, increased physical activity, nutritional education, and frequent medical monitoring. Research has shown that when people are given fewer food choices, their caloric intake decreases. The body composition analysis is done at each visit which could be weekly, biweekly or monthly. 

Once your desired weight has been attained, you will be transitioned to the maintenance program in order to help you keep the weight off. All the treatment plans are flexible, and easy to modify.

Our center prescribes Center for Medical Weight Loss® products in addition to Optifast®.

The benefits of the our treatment programs include: 

• Optifast was the first comprehensive formula diet program for weight loss.
• Over one million people have been successfully treated since 1974.
• There are more than 80 studies published in medical journals.

An average weight loss of 52 lbs has been documented in over 20,000 patients who completed the program.  5 year follow-up studies have shown that over 50% of patients who completed the program kept off enough weight to improve their long-term health.
