We are committed to guiding you through a comprehensive, lifestyle-oriented weight management program uniquely designed to fully optimize your overall health and vastly improve your quality of life.
Losing weight and keeping it off is no easy task and unfortunately, there are no healthy, quick fixes. Everyone’s weight loss journey is unique and individualized attention is key. We are prepared to provide you with high-quality, patient-focused care and promise to fully support, guide and encourage you on your journey. There are a number of factors that can lead to weight gain, such as dietary composition, sleep deprivation, stress, medications and hormones. We will carefully review this with you and prescribe a tailored approach to help you lose weight. Understanding the science behind weight gain helps us give you an effective weight loss plan for long term success.

I must say that your Weight Management program is fantastic. I have lost 34 pounds since I started the program in July. With the help of your professionals, primarily Alicia Fanelli (the Nutritionist), I have modified my entire eating program and intend to lose another 20 pounds in the next 6 months. If you ever need someone to speak highly of your program, let me know. Thank you for the great program.
