Getting Started with Our Weight Loss Program
When an individual first becomes a patient they’ll be asked to undergo a complete physical. This procedure is administered by our resident physician, Dr. Leonard Schulkind, MD. This physical will allow our physician to ascertain what type of health you are in and determine whether or not you are a candidate for weight loss treatments.
Once a patient has been cleared for treatment, they will meet with a nutritionist for a consultation. Our nutritionists will create a diet plan that is both safe and effective. These consultations also teach patients how to eat; illustrating both proper portion sizes and types of food. An exercise plan will also be developed and discussed as regular physical activity boosts the body’s metabolism and accelerates weight loss. Patients will also have an opportunity to discuss any concerns they may have and ask questions during this process.
