Medical Weight Loss

Our medical weight loss program is an ideal option for people who want to lose weight but are not interested in (or eligible for) bariatric surgery. 

Unlike commercial weight loss products and fad diets that promise a “quick fix,” our weight management services are supervised by a team of specialists, including obesity medicine doctors, registered dietitians, exercise specialists, and psychologists.

We specialize in:

  • Helping you understand all the behavioral and lifestyle choices that contribute to weight gain, so you achieve results that last
  • Creating customized diet and exercise plans
  • Providing prescription medicine you may need to supplement your diet and exercise plan
  • Offering professional guidance and support, including one-on-one counseling 

All our medical weight loss patients also have access to our unique onsite amenities, including our teaching kitchen.

Candidates for Medical Weight Loss

You may be a candidate for our medical weight loss program if you:

  • Have a BMI of 30 or more; or
  • Have a BMI of 27 or more with at least one weight-related medical condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea; and
  • Have not been able to maintain weight loss on your own

Adolescent Weight Loss

If your child or teen is overweight and you are concerned about their physical or mental health, you’ve come to the right place. We offer a medically supervised, nonsurgical weight loss program for children of all ages. Our Center has expertise in helping kids safely lose weight and embrace a healthy lifestyle.

Every child who comes through our program receives comprehensive, team-based care. We focus on meeting your child’s medical, nutritional, social, and emotional needs — and setting them up for better, lifelong health.

Your child or teen may be a candidate for our medical weight loss program if they have a BMI at or above the 85th percentile for their age and have not been able to lose weight on their own.

Nutritional Services

Our licensed, registered dietitians will work with you one-on-one (or in a group) to provide a personalized nutrition plan. Get hands-on education from our dietitians in our premier demonstration kitchen. You’ll learn healthy recipes that meet your nutritional requirements and skills to help you continue your success at home.

Behavioral Health

Our licensed psychologist is specialty trained in obesity medicine. They’ll teach you the skills you need to achieve a healthy body weight through one-on-one consultations.
