Why Weight Programs 2022:

1. All medical, first responders, veterans, military, and emergency personnel as a special thank you for all you have done to put yourselves on the line during this epidemic, and in order to help you stay well and fit, you are offered a 3 month special weight loss program which is at a dramatically reduced rate.  Call our office to discuss the program and rates. This program will include one provider visit, and a weekly 15 minute support visit in the office or on-line. You must sign up for all 3 months upon registration, but can set up as 3 separate monthly payments if preferred.

2. Starting 2022, all patients will be asked to register for a 6 month program (after their initial first month visits).  It is important that patients commit to the weight loss process to assure their success.  As an incentive for establishing a 6 month commitment, we have reduced the rates when bundled.

The visits can be in person or on the phone/internet if patients and provider agree due to COVID, travel, or any other issues which make being in the office inconvenient or impossible, as this will keep the patients on track with their weight loss program no matter what is going on in life during those 6 months. (Visits can be purchased a la carte as well at the non-bundled price.)

Good To Go Program

Our priority for our Why Weight patients is to help them achieve their weight and health goals, and be able to sustain the weight loss once achieved.

We encourage those patients who have reached their weight and health goals and maintained them for 3 months, to enter a “Good To Go” program.  These provide an affordable option to allow for continued support and/or medication access as needed for maintenance.

To qualify for these programs the patients must maintain their weight in the designated goal range.  If their weight drifts out of the goal range for more than a month, they will be transferred back into a regular program until back in goal range for 3 consecutive months.
