Not Just Another Diet: Medically Managed Weight Loss

Losing weight isn’t easy! And with so many advertisements for diets and new medications, it’s confusing. If you’re not sure where to turn, a medically managed weight loss program may be right for you. At Premier Weight Loss Solutions, our evidenced-based program is led and supervised by double-board certified physicians specializing in obesity medicine and bariatric surgery. Our team consists of highly trained physicians, experienced physician assistants, registered dieticians, nurses, and medical assistants, here to help you manage your weight, improve your weight-related health issues, and reach your wellness goals.

Following a step-by-step process you’ll receive a comprehensive evaluation and personalized coaching from your specialized team of weight management providers and health educators. Together, we provide a multidisciplinary approach to treating obesity via individualized diet and nutrition plans, physical activity guidance, behavioral and psychological support, and FDA-approved weight loss medications. You’ll learn about food, nutrition, exercise, and goal management with the added benefits of routine monitoring and long-term maintenance. During the course of the program, if you become interested in considering weight loss surgery, a consultation with a bariatric surgeon can be arranged for you.

This comprehensive, holisitic program is not just another diet. Every health care professional and support person works towards the same goals: to improve your quality of life and reduce your risk of serious health issues including diabetes heart disease. Thanks to their expertise and abundant resources, your weight loss success will feel achievable and sustainable.

The majority of Premier Weight Loss Solution’s program is covered through insurance. In addition, there’s a program fee to cover monthly visits to support groups, dietitians, and the fitness component.
