The
M.D.'s Weight and Wellness Center, P.A. is a medical practice
devoted exclusively to assisting our patient’s achieve
and maintain an appropriate body weight. In the United
States we are experiencing an epidemic of obesity that is
responsible for frequently causing among those so afflicted, a
variety of serious health problems that adversely affect
the quality of life or result in premature death.
Indeed,
recent statistics demonstrate that 100,000-300,000 deaths
each year are caused by obesity and the diseases which may
develop as a result. Such conditions include hypertension,
heart disease, Type II diabetes, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis
breast, colon, endometrial (uterine lining) cancers, and
depression among others. While we can make no guarantees,
appropriate weight loss has been demonstrated to reduce
the likelihood of developing one or more of these problems
and improve several of them if already present.
When medically indicated, our treatment plans include the
use of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved weight
loss medications in conjunction with sensible dietary control
and appropriate physical activity. For those committed
to achieving and maintaining an appropriate body weight,
these care plans can be very effective in overcoming the
frequently frustrating challenges of weight loss.

loss and wellness. Don't give up. With your
