More than Just a Diet…
We Help You Make Lifestyle Changes

Our Program is Different

The Doctors' Weight Management Program is a medically sound and effective behavioral weight management program. It was developed by a physician and is supervised by our Sansum Clinic physicians. Our goal is to help you lose weight while teaching you the skills you need to manage your weight successfully long-term.

We Are Staffed by Professionals

Our staff is comprised of health care professionals with expertise and experience in implementing high quality programs in behavioral medicine.

Effective Weight Loss

All of our weight loss options utilize high quality nutritional meal replacements. Mandatory weekly group classes focus on easy ways to lower fat and calories as well as simple strategies to add physical activity and more fruits and vegetables into your daily routine. Participants have a health educator to help them set goals and reach them through a structure of personal accountability and follow-up.

Lose Weight the Way Doctors Recommend

Those enrolled in the Doctors' Weight Management Program can experience significant improvement in their health. Most patients with high blood pressure or diabetes are able to reduce or totally eliminate medications, and patients can dramatically reduce their risk of heart disease and other weight related conditions.
