38 YEARS OF PRACTICE

When I opened my family practice in 1981, I realized that my patients were taking a shopping bagful of medications to cover all their ailments. I became a secretary writing and signing prescriptions. I soon realized that something was wrong! Could I help my patients without giving so many medications given by different physicians? The other thing I noticed that many of my patients suffered illnesses that could improve with weight loss. I decided to enroll in the Obesity Medicine Association and learn how to best treat my patients with fewer medications. In 1983, I became a diplomate or board certified in Obesity Medicine. I pride myself that eliminated medications as patients lost weight. Their blood pressure went down, their cholesterol and triglycerides improved, their arthritis was better and even their gastroesophageal reflux was almost gone. Not only their diabetes required less medication but they slept better, their skin improved and they even got better jobs. They started to exercise, they wore better clothes and look like different people with renewed confidence. That is why 22 years ago I got involved in esthetics as I wanted my patients to also look young and beautiful. There was a little lifting, a little filling in the right places and I hardly recognize them myself. So I want to keep my patients looking slim, young, beautiful and vibrant as long as I can. However, weight loss requires nutrition education, exercise education, and medication or supplements to further help them. Coming to a health professional or even better an obesity specialist keeps the patient accountable. We also take care of all the other problems they may have. I believe that it is human to err and to lose a battle is normal as long as we win the war in the battle of the bulge. Our program is individualized to each patient and this is the reason we are successful. The other caveat we tell our patients is that maintenance is essential and even though we are not so strict and do not see the patients as often in maintenance, they still have to come back. We have the 5-pound rule: anytime they gain 5 pounds or more they need to return to prevent further weight gain.

Our aesthetic program is the best available and our products, both nutritional and aesthetic, have been researched to bring our patients the best and more economical products and procedures available.
