Our obesity treatment center provides patients with a comprehensive array of tests, evaluations, treatments, and support. All services are tailored to each individual's needs and delivered by leading experts in the field. We firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for excess weight. Each person is unique, and their treatment should reflect that.
During the initial visit to our center, patients undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation. Our goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the potential causes of obesity or weight loss challenges. Based on this, we develop a personalized weight loss and metabolic balance plan for each individual. During this visit, you’ll go through several stations: a doctor, a dietician, a psychologist, physical activity counseling, resting metabolic rate measurement, and body composition measurement (which mainly refers to fat tissue and lean body mass - like muscles and bones).
At the end of the visit, we’ll conduct a summary conversation in which all the information we’ve collected is translated into a personalized ongoing treatment plan. This will usually include follow-up from a dietitian with varying frequency, check-ins with a doctor (usually every few months), a prescription for physical activity, and, if needed, follow-up meetings with the team of psychologists and an exercise consultant.
Due to the overwhelming demand, we have opened up additional evaluation days in a condensed format, ensuring availability for everyone.
