About Our Treatment
Our program is based on compassion. Society today often lacks compassion towards obesity. Many fail to realize that obesity is a chronic illness that can be treated, and overcome.

Being physician assisted and directed, the custom weight loss strategy for each patient is what makes us so unique. Dr. Parekh uses a scientific and holistic approach to develop an appropriate program for you. Mind, Body and Nutrition are key terms in downsizing to a new you. Weight loss is different for every individual and depends on factors like your age, activity level, amount of exercise you do, present weight, and associated medical problems. A full range of treatment options is available to help combat these factors.

Exercise Program
Staying active is important in both daily life and weight loss. The key is to start slowly. Dr. Parekh designs a gradual regime in which regular activity becomes beneficial. It lowers stress and boosts mood by releasing endorphins into your blood stream, helps build strong and healthy bones, and also helps heart and lungs work better. Every program offers the tracking of BMI (body mass index). Our program is tailored to each individual's needs.

Medicinal Treatment
Medication and surgical options are available, but such therapy requires certain patient qualifications. Attention is given to existing medical problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and health risks that can occur with obesity. Primary and specialist physicians are consulted and involved in treatment.

Nutritional supplements are available for adjunct support.

Psychological Treatment
We realize obesity can cause a certain degree of mental distress. We insist on providing the utmost privacy to our weight –challenged clients. For this reason, all sessions are kept on a one-on-one basis and information is kept confidential. Any group session or shared information is at the discretion of the individual.
