New Center for Medical Weight Loss

This past year, we have teamed up with the Center for Medical Weight Loss. The CMWL is the largest network of weight lossm or bariatric physicians in the country, with over 375 centers in 43 states. Our program is based on sound science, using in general a holistic apporach to weight loss that is very successful. 99% of the patients on our programlose the weight we predict, and 99% keep it off after a year, with 97% at two years. Patients lose anywhere from 17-21 pounds in 6 weeks, many lose much more. For me personally, it was 25 pounds in 5 weeks last April, and it has remained off ever since. The program includes extensive one-on-one counseling and physician monitoring to make sure you are successful both long term and short term. We have two Wellness Consultants we have added tour our Staff, Megan and Lisa, and both have been trained in NYC at the CMWL Headquarters on this exciting new program. Already, we have had over 75 patients come thru and all have done very well. To get started: Step 1. Schedule Your Consultation
Your consultation lays the foundation for your program. Your CMWL Doctor will learn all about your current weight loss goals and other factors such as your medications, individual body composition, and personal motivations that make you different from everyone else. The initial consultation is only $19 in most centers, including ours. Call us for more information at (805) 201-9135.

Step 2. Get A Personalized Weight Loss Plan
Your CMWL Doctor will give you a personalized plan at the end of your consultation. There is no obligation to proceed, but you will see that there is an approach for you to lose the weight you want in a safe and effective way.

We are Open!

We opened the doors on January 2nd, 2009. This has truly been a dream come true for me personally and professionally. Already we have a number of patients who have signed up for our unique practice and services. Our electronic medical records are in place, our insurance contracts are set, our furniture is here, and now we are starting to collect some of the local art for display in our gallery. Besides the membership programs, we are also taking gynecology consultations, hormone replacement analysis and treatment, and providing house calls to both members and nonmembers. We will be offering a limited substance abuse program in the near future, for patients who desire a more personal, confidential program than what is available in the many community treatment centers. Special thanks to Jennifer Thompson of Interior Motives, who did a wonderful job on the interior design. The facility is gorgeous! And of course, many thanks to Chris Will of Caliber CPAs who has been providing unwaivering support in all aspects of the new venture.

Most of all, thanks to my beautiful wife Lisa, for her patience, support and love, and for her belief that we could actually do this. This is intended to be a community resource that will be a benefit to anyone who comes our way. And, our promise was to give 10% of all our profits to the Wounded Warrior Program, to help fund the services offered by our communities to these special national heros is being realized. We have been able to send our first check!

God is good!
